am i missing it?

There is a RRL store in Malibu already.. I wonder how's it's going ot be..

I think that store has been there for a little while now. When I first moved to LA 3 years ago, there was a RRL store on third st, just 2 blocks from South Willard. I thought the Malibu store opened not long after that store closed.

Wondered the same thing...

While not RRL, Polo is offering a selvage pair in their Vintage line that's one-wash but set with resin. Click over to "Style Guide: Denim."

[malsponge]

Yeah, it doesn't look like the RRL line is on the website, just the polo stuff. Anyone have their own pics? Store employees maybe?

[tweeds]

stores haven't been allowed to post pictures of their stuff yet, i think - it's up to us to go instore and take a look.

RRL is definitely not going to be available online from retailers, from what i hear. but phone orders are okay?

I just went to HTC. Saw a slim model with no back pocket design, denim was rigid and didn't impress. The Straight model definitely felt nicer, but had the back pocket stitching. I tried the straights on, the rise felt really high for some reason.

[whodini]

Too bad about the rigids not having the old hairy denim, something I love about my pairs. What would you compare the fit/feel of the new rigids to?

PG2G, I'm curious as to why you weren't impressed with their rigid denim; only because I was really impressed with it, so perhaps I'm ill-informed. I liked its new semi-slubbiness, as opposed to the old hairiness. The denim felt certainly equivelent to Nudie's Dry Selvage at least in its quality and construction, but I prefer the color of the RRL, which is a more vivid blue, as opposed to Nudie's near-navy.

I went to the RRL store at the Malibu country mart today. The store itself is very impresively done, and invokes the rock n' roll hippie culture of the local environs, as much as it does the western image of the brand. It all felt very excessive (typically-Malibu) but I saw their point. They also offered one-wash options for all of the styles that were also offered in raw, as well as the distressed washes. Sadly, no still no odd sizes, which sucks because the slim style runs big in the waist.

these are starting to carry some hype. I cant say im not suprised. I have been excited for quite sometime but i hadnt realized so many other people were interested

I guess I had just heard so many people talk about the quality of the denim in the RRL, but when I touched the, they just didn't feel like anything special. Its not that they were bad or anything.

Have you seen any of the older/original pairs in person? You'd probably change your mind.

[damnIam]

I got 3 pairs of the old kind

plain back pockets

greenline selvage

slim boot cut and HAIRY denim

I love them and I am very glad I got them before they got scarce. I can't find any on ebay now.

just checked, There are a few left, but not many and the sizes are huge

[dphi]

What are the back pocket designs like on these new models?

Amen. I should have bought more last year. One seller seemed to have an endless supply...until this past fall.

[blm14]

yeah I have two of those as well. I think I paid like $30 each for them hehe

Same here, got all three for under 35.00 bucks each. Best $$ I ever spent.

[M.O.A]

i had a pair but i couldnt stand the fit. I really wanna check the new stuff out

[PG2G]

No, I have never seen the older ones. Were they rigid too?

[M.O.A]

some help for a few questions people have

Denim is from Japan and manufactured in the good ol US and A (Kentucky)

back pocket details are distinguished by the fit...aka it is different depending on the model. bootcut and straight have two different back pocket details while the slim has no back pocket detail.

that is it for now. More details to come in the future.

[kelvin]

Manufactured in Los Angeles, washed in Kentucky.

[zelah]

so what's the word

went there yesterday and said it will be here in 2 weeks or less.. at blake

[whodini]

Shit, I'm late on this reply. Should have given me a headsup on the other SF.

The older gens weren't very starchy at all which is partly why my pairs were so hard to break in, especially as far as combs are concerned.

Can't believe Blake doesn't have them in stock yet. I checked the new gen while I was at HTC in May. Didn't try anything on but as other have noted the denim is now very APC but with better details. I'm not sure I'd pay retail, but at APC's retail price (around $140) I'd say they're a pretty good deal.

HTC, btw, is having a sale on them right now.

[M.O.A]

Blake update

They will be getting the fall shipment of RRL. All the new models of denim plus the clothing and accessories

four fits, three washes

sometime in the next few weeks

plus extras (RRL booklet explaining the jeans, materials, production, etc...)

cheers!

ps. HTC got an early shipment

[blake]

o.k.

so we recieved five different styles today and I have to say it is even more beautiful than i could have imagined. I saw the samples and sometimes they do not come out the same way, but these did. We have two straight legs, one slim rinse and two slim boots. The interesting thing is that even the slim boots are really just straight legs. You have to come see for yourself. I had mike (another s.f.er) try them on and the fit and overall quality is amazing. I have some technical details in a packet in the store if you are interested and am waiting for some more info to come. I think even the most critical denim customer will be impressed. Please email any questions you have. We also recieved some tees( with no side seams) and one button down. also a couple of belts and some selvedge wallets and some leather ones. come and get it!

[zelah]

got'em (slim rigid)

[zelah]

edit: better pictures further down

just got them out of the bag. might get them hemmed a little bit if the stacking doesn't start falling better, diaper butt was fixed by pulling up a little

[hype_killz]

could we get some pics of the denim
