Actually, A few years ago, I picked up two pairs of the RL GI Pant. Not to be confused w/ some of the RRL $200 repros.kodou said:any thoughts on the RL GI pant? I ran across them over on The Trad. They seem like the real deal, and at a slightly higher price point than the J. Crew pant. Both not made in the USA. *I should also add, howevever, that unlike the J Crew pant, I guess they have lower quality buttons.
I was in my town's military surplus store searching for chinos yesterday. They had a few (not in my size) but I was unable to understand the tag on the inside so I could not date them.
Brand X, I was just thinking about something similar the other day. Going by the article in GQ?...or was it Details?...anyways, classic american style seems to be showing up more & more in stores countries outside of the US. I think this is ironic, considering that the American style idea is popular, but the idea of said clothing being made in US is not at all.
The GIPant has a very authentic cut & comes in a few shades of khaki & OD.A nice sturdy textile as well. My fave was a british India color.
I highly recommend them.
WHen I purchased them, full price was $75, but by the end of the summer they were on sale for $25.
Occasionally I spot them in close out stores such as Filene'sBasement.
