It seems like a few UK retailers have picked up RRL in the last season or two - which is good news. It's one of the more rare menswear brands and you have to dig a little to find it because it isn't that widely available. In light of that, it's interesting to see a few shops putting images online. I can't imagine it will hurt the brand in the long run, and it's nice to see a little more of the product if you don't live in one of the few cities where it's available.

Ye great brand and should have more exposure as alot of people wouldn't know too much about it. Im ptretty sure there's a UK agent now, hence the pick up

I wouldn't know about previous seasons, but from what I've seen most of this year's line is made in china. Rather disappointing IMO.

RRL has been made in China for awhile as far as I know and I believe they are moving more of their production to China. To be honest, it really doesn't hurt the product. There are many good factories and RRL is using one of them. The stuff is nice and would probably cost way more if they made it in the US.

At that price you'd think they'd have the courtesy to run an iron over the trousers.

The jeans and some basic core pieces like oxfords, henleys, are sold at Barney's, which is the least interesting of RRL if you are a fan of the brand. It's all about the 4-5 collections they put out each season.

The only thing by RRL that has always been made in the US are their jeans. Everything else is in other countries like China, Sri Lanka, India, etc. Despite that, I've found their pieces to have higher production quality compared to other made in the US brands.
