Looks like they don't ship to North America?

Theyll be in the US store eventually for probably 60-70% of the HK price i bet. They just havent been delivered yet. They arent an Asia-exclusive item like some of the new Norfolk Sneakers

What'd they change? They look about the same to me.

Only one back pocket flap, no front pocket stitching, and supposedly slimmer fit.

New slim fit rigid chinos are not selvedge but they are very heavy (around 11oz). And this is the same feeling than trying RRL rigid denim for the first time : very "rigid", you need to break them.

The cut is quite the same than classic officer. Straight but slimmer...but it is not a slim cut.

Yet they're still listed as selvedge on the site.

Can confirm, new chinos (olive Officers and British khaki Slim fit) no longer have a selvedge line. They are also missing the front pocket stitching and pocket text that describes the fabric. I compared to my pair of 2014 twill seldvege chinos, the fabric seem identical.

In another story, ridge slim tag 32 back rise measured 14 inches, tagged 33 measured 15 inches. A pretty big jump in one tagged size!

Tried to jump on a gray RRL work shirt that hit the sale section, wouldn't let me add to cart. Great prices, the sizing seems to be a little inconsistent between shirts though, which kinda sucks (neck too tight like previously mentioned, or really loose under armpits/side in general). I guess I need to go to NYC and buy in bulk

Just because it doesn't have a colored selvedge line doesn't mean it isn't selvedge, I have several pairs of pants that are selvedge and have a matching color selvedge. Any pics of the seam?

I forget- when does the first sale of this initial Spring delivery take place?

 

[zissou]

I just picked up a pair of the old selvedge officer's chinos in 32x34, planning to have them taken in an inch in the waist. My pair in 30x34 are great in the waist, post stretching, but damn slim in the thighs. I'll have to watch Ebay like a hawk to see if a pair in 31x34 ever pop up. I think that would be my ideal size...

I'll post a picture as soon as my trousers will come back from my seamstress (hem)

Good point and true, unfortunately I sent them back already due to sizing. Will post pics once the new ones come in.

Anyone know if the selvedge Clydes pants have a similar fit as officers chinos?

I don't know about the current Clyde's but the previous ones (brown duck, dark grey) all fit very similar to the Officer Chinos IMO.

Huh, odd.

Is it just that there's no selvedge ID (e.g., red line), or is it truly non-selvedge (overlock stitching)?

I have the rigid indigo ones from a couple seasons ago, and I'd say they're a little more straight-legged and have more room in the seat relative to officer chinos of the same size. Sizing is the same, though.

Not sure of the accuracy of it but i was told they are changing the sale model for RRL and sales wont be as frequent or deep

I have them..they're selvedge, they just don't have the ID line. and for those asking, I have the same size in my officer chino's and they fit the same in the waist and seat, and are just SLIGHTLY slimmer through the leg. I prefer the angled pockets on the slim fits, but do miss the stiching.
