Received my Rios of mercedes RRL MURDOCK engineers in the mail a little earlier. Went TTS And these fit better than any boot I have owned. Very happy overall, I do see a few things that could have been addressed in production (just a few minuscule dings in the welt that is only noticeable with the boot being held right in front of my face and plan on changing the buckles to traditional roller buckles,, overall I am very happy with these and will post pictures in a bit.. Now just need to add the badalassi cognac lofgren and the MFRC and ill be happy with boots for this year! (Yeah right)

10.5D. Given these are too big for me, I would say that they fit like an 11 trubalance

I agree with Tigerpac, RRL stuff looks good, but if their stuff is more expensive than stuff made in Japan or in the US, someone is getting f#cked..
-
I stand corrected: a lot of people are getting f#cked ;b

How do you find the quality of RRL stuff @EastWest ? I had an RRL deck jacket a while back and it looked stunning but the quality was beyond awful, literally Primark standard.

Hard to say this early in wear for me @Megatron1505 , the material is a lightweight-ish duck but they are tacked in all the stress area's. Got them at a 3rd of the retail price and loved the cinch back chino style so thought I'd give them a whirl. Time will tell but like you have found there is very mixed feedback on RRL on SF, think it definitely depends on the item.
Would look for Japanese/ US/ UK made alternatives long before RRL if paying full price as I imagine you and most here would. Some of their styling is great though.

For those looking for some older RRL pieces, I have two pairs of Officer chinos for sale for cheap. Look amazing, feel amazing, just too small for me. http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8180.new#new

Re: sanforised jacket RRL
I picked up this Type 1 jacket a year or two ago from the RRL Soho store.It’s a nice Japanese raw denim,clearly labeled as being sanforised.MSRP. was $690.00.
My buying experience was mixed if I’m honest.
The jacket was the only one on display,a Medium size.with only the price tag present.
I asked the sales rep if it was sanforised,to which he replied “what do you mean”?
After further investigation someone else was able to confirm it was,however he wasn’t sure that the jacket was for sale as another employee was considering buying it !
I found this to be rude and unprofessional.
The employee confirmed that he was going to buy it,so I thought I was shit out of luck.
Further enquiries found another one in California,which they shipped to my home.
The fit was loose and boxy enough to accommodate a hooded sweatshirt underneath,but the arms were somewhat long.I was considering getting the sleeves shortened,but before I bit the bullet,I chose to give it a hot wash “just in case”
Well,would you believe it,it shrunk.Actually it shrunk about an inch in sleeve length,which was exactly what I wanted.However the rest of the jacket also shrunk relatively,to the point that it’s too tight to use a sweatshirt.
Otherwise with a tee shirt it’s ideal.
So just a word caution really,and a slight bad taste I was left with at RRL.
-
How hot did you wash? Cool jacket btw! In my experience washing above 40 celcius is causing shrinkage even when it’s sanforized
-
No idea of the actual temperature,sorry.Just put it in the Hot setting on my home machine.
