I bought a rlx bubble vest on sale last year, really like it. Planning to get another light jacket on sale. Wonder what new line they'll replace it with.

That plaid jacket is nothing "special" - not a knock on it at all, if you like it, do you. I just mean that there's not really "info" about it to provide.
The green Country Dry Goods label was used a lot on older heavier knits and stuff along the sportsman lines. A lot of Outdoors-y type stuff.I believe the best (IMO) version of the denim flag jackets has that label. The original K-swiss eagle knit (the crew, not the retro t-neck) is under that label. Lots of stuff.
If that line/label still existed today, the duck knits would probably have been produced under it.
Yeah - and anybody who has dealt with Andy knows his last name, which pretty much ends that convo. Like PS said, it doesn't matter - just clarifying info.

Yeah - I like RLX too. They had some nice pieces on the low if you know the archives.
It's a shame too, because w/ TNF being crap nowadays, RLX could have gotten some of my money if they came correct on some technical type stuff.

RLX has been my alternative to tnf. Their prices are steep though and stuff is gone in my size by the time it's on sale.

I forgot that was like the official coat of NY. When I went to NY back in '02, that's all I saw. I even bought one while I was up there. A big parka with fur on the hood.

Thanks for the kind words Krash.
The RLX label is in some of RL's best parkas and ski gear. There are two RLX items that Im still hunting for from a few years back.
Jay, that RLX graphic vest hung around eBay for a long time for the low. I'm sure they are long gone these days.
Gourmetkickz never posted here, but he had a crazy lined sample tweed blazer and ski pants combo a couple years ago. if you catch this post please share that pic, I know it would surprise lots of NTers to see that side of RLX.

lol @ official coat of NY, it really was too… and now Moncler and Canada Goose I suppose

One just sold like last week on ebay. They pop up now and then.
I feel like Moncler is already done. Marmot is probably holding it down now.
Elitist Bip warning - TNF still holds weight, but it's very much like Polo in that there's a lot of it, but only a small portion of it actually "counts." There's Polo and there's Lo. There North Face, and there's Face. TNF went the way of Jordan, basically. Overproduced, killed the quality, and mass marketed themselves onto the doodoo list of their most hardcore fans. The most hardcore would say that Face basically fell off after about '95. ...That's about the time it became available at places like Dr. Jays. I'd be tempted to give it to more like '98, but either way - much like Jordans, by the time it got to the masses, the kids who were all hyped that they were flamming it were getting played because they never even owned a "real" piece.

the vest is actually under the polo sport label. i never really got into that vest, it's cool but i always pass on it. i've had plenty of chances to grab it and one of my boys had it back then.
RLX has a lot of stuff that have flown under the radar, either because of the price or because nobody pays that much attention to it.
BIP, let's hold off on the elitist Face discussions lol

RLX is the goods. I love their outerwear and cargo pants. My favorite piece is a parka that folds into a duffle bag. Been searching for another one but to no avail.

I hear you, Krash.
I'm a bit younger than you, I couldn't go hardbody on the Faces in the early 90s. I got my first joint in like 94-ish. So, I kept rocking until the late 90s before it started getting totally saturated. I could deal with the basic stuff being all over, but once everybody and their mother had those trash quality "Steeps" I was like, I'm either going back in time, or hopping off.
I agree on RLX being best as a sort of sub-line of PS. Nice jacket. ...Don't tell me you have the matching cycling spandex shirt...
Waddup, Nat. Those white RLX joints are official.
