All RRL but the boots (Rios) —
-
@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.

In Canada there isn't much of an opportunity to experience RRL in person. However I recently visited the RL store in Yorkdale mall and they had a small section of RRL items. I have to say, I was underwhelmed. Most of the plaid and waffle shirts felt like something I could get at the GAP for 1/10 the price.
Prior to this visit I almost placed a large order online. Im glad I didn't.
Am I missing something? Is there some insider info as to what items are worth the money. Just jackets? Heavy knits?
Compared to every item I have ever experienced from Iron Heart, RRL doesn't come close.

@Skelly-0 RRL is only good (to me) for accent pieces and their weathering / fatiguing at purchase. Also, some of their Americana / Chimayo stuff is good, but only as accent pieces. To me, their waffle stuff and plaids are mall-wear -- nothing special, you're right. And obscenely expensive. Their collabs are sometimes nice - like their Rios boot collab for hand-tooled western boots - just magnificent. But then again, they're not making it, Rios is.

My sale haul. Everything is herringbone, except for the shirt. I really love it all. Especially the pants - they are my answer to linen summer pants, without the wrinkling and craziness. They’re such a nice casual fit. I just love the shirt too.

The guersney shirt. This is the beauty of RRL - the accents. We'll see how it looks in real life.

I love RRL stuff but easier to win the lottery twice than to find it in Canadian shops. And I hate buying pieces online unless like Iron Heart has the best "how we measure videos". Nothing worse than having to pay for shipping to return something that does not fit and shipping to Canada is always very costly...

@Eza I do find RRL sizing a bit more consistent, though. I am a solid Large in all RRL - shirts, sweaters, jackets, western shirts, etc. With IH, I am a M, XL and XXL, depending.

@indigostiff thanks this helps!

Mother’s Day in Park City with RRL

She's a keeper. What RRL does best, to me -- accent pieces.

My RRL find of the day on TRR - made by Rios of Mercedes - unworn.
