Attribute deep dive
We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.
Quality Analysis 100/100
This garment is built for the long haul, featuring heavyweight 16oz Japanese selvedge denim and assembled in the USA using vintage machinery, which suggests robust construction. Further enhancing its longevity are the custom RRL branded rivets and hardware, ensuring stress points are well-secured.
Comfort Assessment 60/100
The comfort score is low because the garment is constructed from rigid, heavyweight 16oz 100% cotton denim with no mention of stretch or adaptive fit elements. The fabric is also noted to have a "distinctly hairy texture," which may contribute to a less smooth feel against the skin.
Sustainability Impact Not Available
This garment provides no explicit sustainability indicators, such as certified organic or recycled materials, nor does it mention any ethical production practices. Therefore, a default score is assigned.

Garment details

The signature East-West series from RRL marries the heritage of Japanese denim with the brand's iconic American styling. Crafted using Tennessee-grown cotton, the 16oz denim is expertly woven in Okayama for a distinctly hairy texture, and rope-dyed using natural indigo for a beautiful dark color. The jeans are then assembled in the USA using vintage machinery and over 50 individual steps, and come equipped with custom branded American hardware and a cowhide leather patch.
