The rise is 13". The button fly is 9.5".
These are really amazing pants. VERY stiff however. I haven't worn them yet (I'm waiting for cooler weather), but out of the package are like true vintage deadstock. The fabric is beautiful.
I have a Bill Me Later account that I just went a little crazy with...I got these Cushman pants, RRL Julian Bowery Boots and 2 pairs or RRL pants. The rise on the RRLs are, as we know pretty low, but great fabrics and style.

Good article on Pointer Brand
From the NY Timesa-tennessee-clothing-factory-keeps-up-the-old-ways
Looks like they are finally getting Cone denim now too. Great to see a small company work and change with the times.
Would love to ride down and see the factory someday. There where several plants south of Louisville just like Pointer and have gone out of business due to Nafta.

Ah, NAFTA ! The Coats and Clark thread mill in my town vanished in the dead of night, as we slept.

Thanks for "pointing" out the article. :D I'd have missed it otherwise.

I'm impatiently waiting for RRL to update their website for Fall '13. There are some new items on there though.
This one I saw in person and it's pretty great:

So it looks like RRL has updated their mobile site, but not their regular site (?) Or maybe it's just my computer?
Anyway, here are some screen shots from the mobile site. I like what I see. Is that a grizzly???

thats a grizzly!
But I like how they try to do the 20s mugshots but fail when done with digital cameras.
Cmon RRL you can afford real cameras.

Looks like the actual RRL site is now live. There is a women's grizzly too. I also see a Browns Beach type vest and various other wonderful things.

I quite like their art direction. Sure, they could use old cameras. But it's still far better then what others try to do. (Or even compared to multi million § hollywood movie)


Here is a RRL photo shoot for the PORT magazine and the making of video on vimeo.

Im a photographer and it bothers me when they try to "reproduce" the look digitally. when the technology is right there and not as expensive when you consider the retouchers cost. those images on post are typical high fashion photographs. but aside from that the lone looks great
