RRL in the spotlight
We began by studying vintage workwear, examining every stitch, fabric, and detail to understand what made these garments last and look authentic.
Week after week, we visited workshops and mills across the U.S. and Japan, searching for the right craftsmen who could bring our vision to life. At the time, reproducing these pieces faithfully was nearly impossible—many traditional looms were outdated, sewing machines rare, and fabrics and hardware limited.
We had to track down vintage denim, restore old machines, and source authentic buttons, threads, and rivets. From fabric to finishing touches, we rebuilt everything from the ground up, committed to creating garments that honor the heritage of classic American workwear while meeting modern standards of quality.
