I just called RL and they said none of the $34 ones shipped - even expedited - so some reprieve on an otherwise roller-coaster of a situation.

They gave me 10% of any item as courtesy, but that just didn't hit the same.
Interesting. I will for sure be doing the same. No explanation for the situation?

Edit: As someone here demonstrably received their shirt, I'm keen to hear how all this went down. Interesting for them to claim that "none" of them shipped.

The shirt was in stock at my local store when I ordered this morning, so I spent the extra $25 on same-day delivery. I figure I'm good unless Ralph himself shows up on my doorstep asking for it back...

Glad that worked out for you! Always get expedited shipping when you catch deals/errors like that – and don't share until you get the shipment confirmation. If you share immediately, they'll get 20 orders for a shirt that's not been selling for ages, triggering inspection & resulting in cancellations.

Maybe an idea to have a "locked" thread or message chain where we share deals with each others? To keep the lurking scalpers at bay :p.

Now I am curious; what are the best deals you guys have gotten?

For me, it's probably this Purple Label jacket. Got it @ 70% discount from rl.com & also received some cash back, netting a 75% discount. It's an amazing jacket, but have yet to wear it because it's a bit "extra", you know?

We could make a private whatsapp or facebook group for these kinds of deals. I remember there was a guy on here who was a obvious flipper and cleared out a couple of good deals folks had found.

I can make it and PM info out if folks want me to?

You should be wearing the hell out of that jacket!

Back in the good old sale days I’ve gotten a few RRL leathers that were like 40% off then an additional 40% kicker. It was also easy to find 10% codes that would stack.

I've been wondering about this same problem. Resellers obviously watch this thread like vultures. Makes me hesitant to post sales, but I do when I see them.

This is a terrific idea! As for myself I don't mess with WhatsApp (I strongly distrust Meta). Others might be in a similar boat.

Any recommendations on where to do this? telegram or signal are other options.

Yeah, coordinating a space that works for everyone is gonna be a hurdle...

Signal is great, very privacy-focused and easy to use. Discord could work too. Might seem complicated for the uninitiated.
