Ordered the khaki plaid (sale) and, frankly, it's underwhelming. The fabric looked more interesting in pictures, and the cut of the shirt is boxy and not terribly flattering, particularly if you have to size up to get a decent fit in the chest and shoulders. I am quite disappointed with this purchase.

the 17oz collab just hit the RgT site. $279 - seems expensive but they're nice looking |

That thing looks blousy and unaligned in the product shots, very underwhelming.

A complaint:
My ISC Work Shirt has some seriously loose, chintzy buttons for a $225 product. They cal them "navy pearl" buttons, but they're plastic. A more honest description would be to call them "pearlescent navy plastic buttons." They also feel like they're going to pop off at any moment. They would do well to take note of how Taylor Stitch double lock stitches their buttons and buttonholes. Everyone would. Those babies aren't going anywhere.
Plus, not having gussets on a shirt this thick and substantial feels/looks like a design flaw to me.
Haven't been real impressed with the quality of anything from RgT so far other than their jeans.

I only have the Ridgeline jacket so can't really compare. Im actually thinking of selling it because i decided i don't like the fit anymore. RT changed the specs of the Ridgeline recently and although it fits i probably could've gone down a size. With the new fit its longer in the waist and sleeves, but the sleeves are a tad too long for me. I've worn it once. Im also not keen on the button placement. I like my jackets to button up to the top of my chest but the Ridgeline falls short of that because of the way its designed. Nice jacket but wonky fit. I'd like to try RT's jeans too but I'm afraid the SK's would make me look like a carrot |

SK's are nearly identical to G Slim with about an inch more rear rise. Stanton's are certainly slimmer than a G Straight. Beware that all RgT's seem to stretch, and they're glamor sized, plus SK's are one inch more glamorous than Stantons. I wear a 35 in either G, but a 33 SK, or 34 Stanton, but because of the stretch will likely switch to 32 SK, 33 Stanton.

Could be the model though |

Just received the black waxed canvas supply jacket with wool lining today. I got it from domestic domestic for ~$110 off. This is a mighty fine jacket. Nicely cut, not a ridiculous number of pockets. I have a 44" chest, so I got the XL and I am able to comfortably wear a sweater underneath. I was worried that the sleeves would also have a wool lining, but thankfully they are satin lined. Super happy with the purch.

It's the only RT piece I own SK's are an awesome fit if you like G Slim but happen to be tall enough to want an inch more rise in back. Stantons are a truer straight fit than G's with slightly narrower thighs and much narrower cuffs. |

I'd need a 34" waist for a perfect fit but my size in RT goes to 34.5" I believe. I think this is one of those instances where I'd have to try them on locally |

I've seen over an inch on them and will likely buy down a size next time, which will take me from snug to painful at purchase, but should prevent future hot washes to try to bring them back down. |

Wore my wool lined supply jacket for the first time as the temps are in the mid 30s here. Still liking this jacket a lot. The best part is it can easily be dressed up for work or dressed down for weekend.

SS16 lookbook photo.....  I will admit, I own nothing from RT. Frankly, I'm not a fan. I've never seen anything from them that justifies the price. Then, I see this, and it confirms my feelings. Why pay RT prices, when I can pay Gustin to fμ©k up a perfectly good fabric like this. Edit: To be fair, the sewn example on the product page is far better. But, it is not without issue. Neither is worthy of the $195 tag. |

It's the cactus isn't it...you don't like cactus. |

It's the cactus isn't it...you don't like cactus. Oh man, thanks to this forum, the problems in this shirt totally jump out at me. At the top right of the front placket, you have like 2 inches of blue that shrinks to like .5 inches as you go down the shirt. At the top left of the placket you have like .5 inches that shrinks down to nothing. So the whole shirt is slanted with respect to the front placket. Anyway, I am clearly OCD, but no way would I get this shirt. |

It's the cactus isn't it...you don't like cactus. I am not kactosophobic, by any means. I do question whether it was used to distract from the obvious slant of the pattern, though. From one side of the collar to the other, the pattern is slanted, as well. |

Yep, that front alignment is all sorts of wrong. How do these end up as product shots?

Aaahhh. scooter and derek , thanks for pointing that out. I was just looking at the horizontal alignment, which is ok, didn't think to check vertical alignment. So obvious now that it's pointed out. I'm learning. I'm learning. Also found out the word for a fear of cacti!! |

Gives it an illusion of being slightly bell bottomed.

Neither is worthy of the $195 tag. the misalignment could also be an optical illusion. the bottom of the shirt is unbuttoned and it could just be that it looks misaligned due to the way the shirt drapes. just playing devil's advocate here. I think RgT makes some solid pieces FWIW. I really dig his western flannels and would like to give the Stantons a go someday. I think the pic above is just an anomoly. I am by no means a RgT fanboy but price is subjective with any brand, and I think the QC issues are probably isolated in this instance. from what I can tell, RgT is very meticulous when it comes to doing QC on their stuff. they even have a RgT seconds instagram where they post pics of seconds at a reduced price, so you know they have a mechanism in place to keep this stuff from reaching vendors. |

I understand what yer sayin', but follow the placket stitch line. You can see the checks cross from the main body of the shirt over onto the placket. It's totally crooked. |
