Rag & Bone Jeans

[kobayashi]

i have a pair of rag&bone RB6 jeans that are an overdyed dark blue indigo. the instructions on the inside of the jeans say to turn them inside out and wash in cold water. am i supposed to wash them in a machine or by hand? what do you guys think?

[Louis]

you should probably just wash them in the hottest possible water and then use a LOT of just regular car soap so you can get it super shiny. oh yeah by machine and use the roughest setting you can.

1. this question does not deserve its' own thread.

2. machine wash, hand wash - whatever. same thing, you can set your machine to "hand wash."

From Marcus at Rag&Bone:

Hi Scott

I would only wash them if you really HAVE to. Go as long as you can then I would suggest hand washing them and line drying them. This goes for any jean that you want to keep dark and get the best finish out of.

Thanks

Marcus

[lilodxd]

there is your answer, young one.

to make this thread more useful... can we just talk about Rag & Bone the denim?

SO... for the people that have bought the denim... is it worth the money?

I have respect for Rag&Bone especially after reading their backstory on how they saved some mill in North Carolina (Men's Vogue). I was about to buy rbw7-dark indigo wash (a skinny raw-looking but incredibly soft and lightweight jean made for women), but unloading near 270$ on one pair of jeans is more than I can honestly afford--especially on jeans I haven't done too much research on--thanks sufu!

Anyway, does anyone have any information on Rag & Bone or the link to a SuFu thread I missed already dedicated to Rag&Bone? Is Rag&Bone not talked about because it sucks or is unknown? What's up?

i don't think anyone will say that rag and bones are "bad". It seems the attention on this board are to brands that provide a high contrast fade that i've yet to see from rag bone. Reading that article really want me to try them out again. I owned a pair of the RB15 for a hot minute, but they were much too might for my liking and the only other criticism was that the back pockets were too big. I might give them another shot now, thanks for the article.

I recently sold a pair of RB6b. I had them for approximately a year, and saw VERY LITTLE fading. They were fantastic jeans, but I was looking for more contrast. I just ordered a pair of S5000BKs to replace them.

i can attest to rag & bone's quality--i don't have a store that sells rag & bone near me, but i got to try on a pair of RB1 awhile back, and they are incredibly comfortable. their lined waistband is almost decadent, and their variety of cuts is excellent.

they receive much more attention on Styleforum, as does 5EP. no idea why, really.

Perhaps a little more love of the domestic over there, though I'm not sure why that'd be the case. As poly said, SuFu mostly talks about contrasty jeans.. RB/5EP do not show wear exceptionally quickly.

Can anyone tell me where I can get the selvage RB11's??

[jaspar]

R & B didn't do selvage RB 11's for s/s '07, however, I'm selling a NWT pair in supermarket...

[blank]

Yeah, I need a 32x32. Anyone know if there's a store that carries them from a past season or if they'll have them for f/w 07?

[poly800rock]

great detailing on rag and bones, thats for sure.

Can anyone

Anyone at all

Tell me whether http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod44250109&parentId=cat14470734&masterId=cat14100733&index=1&cmCat=cat000000cat000001cat000003cat14470731cat14100733cat14470734

those jeans are the selvage RB11's? I know they are RB11's due to the buttons on the waist, but I need to track down the selvage jeans, since they will be heavier and better for fall/winter

[jaspar]

That doesn't look like their selvage denim (nor does it look that thick, not that all selvage denim is necessarily thick, which might also be an obstacle to your search) but you might call a NM store + ask...

You can tell denim thickness from those pics? Damn you're good.

They look a bit slim to be 11's, blank. This denim looks super streaky .

[jaspar]

Blank, they are indeed selvage, I stand corrected... I think they're using that same denim for this season's RB 6, as well. Also, Rag & Bone is finally (thankfully) offering odd sizes, which will be better for their slimmer styles which tend true-to-size.

[Bungee Man]

Are they going to start making longer inseams in the smaller waist sizes too?

[jaspar]

It doesn't seem it from all the sizes I've seen available. The jeans are now labeled without length measurements, only waist but, according to what I saw at Barney's, sizes up to 31 seem to bear a 32" inseam (except for 28 which has 30"), and any larger sizes have a 34" inseam. I don't get graduating the inseams, but I'm not tall so am not complaining...

[freshtakk]

I picked up some rb15's at a local store for $130.

If anyone's interested let me know and i'll look into sizes..

wouldn't mind supporting them; they've had to mark these down quite a bit.

Price would be 130 + shipping + any applicable paypal charges..not gonna take any profit on these

oh yeah, i picked up a sz.32x34

Nice slim fitting jeans, somewhat similar to the new prps fit / apc ns

[jaspar]

Do they have the non-selvage RB 6? On Sale?

[dpauly06]

[delusions]

RB15's - look at the skew number to the right of the price, the last 4 show the model number.

[parachutes]

Anyone know where I might have luck in getting a pair of RB18 in W32. camel color?

This is what it looks like in grey.

[gimmegimme]

not sure if anyone's interested in these...

[mr_smartman]

those sure look nice, i hope they have it when i go down to check this weekend

[freshfood]

hi, i'm new here. i recently bought a pair of rag and bone rb16 jeans without really knowing what it was, and now i have a few questions to ask about it. is it raw? prewashed, preshrunk? will it shrink? is it selvedge? should i alter its length like i would with any other pair of jeans? thanks in advance!

[JackFrost08]

Anyone know the hem measurement for this seasons RB11, and whether they fit true to size? Also, how much does R&B denim stretch? Cheers

[teadiddy]

i realize this year is a year and a half old, but does anyone know if the rb15 in gray indigo is raw and selvedge? here are the pics
