    How hot did you wash? Cool jacket btw! In my experience washing above 40 celcius is causing shrinkage even when it’s sanforized

          The criticism of RRL pricing is valid. However, the RRL stuff is very well made and stylish. I own several RRL shirts and I get more compliments on those shirts than any other company in my wardrobe. The main criticism I have with RRL is that their sizing is all over the place and their website is not very helpful with sizing because they just use the generic measurements and a lot of their garments are unique in size making those generic measurements useless. I had this happen with a hoodie recently. I have other RRL hoodies and I'm an XL, upon receiving the hoodie it was obvious that this was not a garment that matched the measurements of their other hoodies. On the plus side the RRL website has incredible sales where you can pick up some really nice pieces for 50% off...or more. I don't own any RRL denim so can't comment on that.

            I love RRL style. I don’t love RRL pricing for stuff made in China.

            I visited a RRL store in Georgetown once and I still think about how cozy it was. Best retail store vibes ever.

              @edgarallanpoe Exactly. They have more sales than a furniture store. Their southwest styling is dead-on usually, but when you go back to the basics, the quality is a little bit wonky, whereas IH is stronger. RRL specializes in pre-distressing, too, if that's your thing.

                @indigostiff no question that IH is better quality.

                  @Matt not all their stuff is made in China, the line is composed of stuff made from all over the place. IIRC their jeans are made in the US.

                    I don’t always discount brands for having Chinese made products or for having outrageous mark ups. RL has been doing what they do forever so I can’t argue with their place in the market. That’s business after all. Besides, there are plenty of smaller brands in China that are doing it right and suffer from the stigma.

                    Personally, I like IH better.

                      I had my tailor bring the legs in to slim fit for $40, IAW IH 666s - much better.

                        I find RRL to be variable. I've got a lovely packable helmet / tote bag that's made of a thick nylon. But I took a look at the Falcon backpack last week and thought that the fabric felt flimsy for something that's got quite a large price tag.

                        I could get something like a USA made Filson rucksack for the same price. It might not be as pretty, but it'd have a similar aesthetic and last a lot longer.

                                    @Matt these are from the RRL store that was in Georgetown. Bought them in 1995. Still wear them weekly. Branded RRL, but Stamped Made in England. No idea who actually made them.
