they should open up shop in Vancouver, target the 19-36 female demographic of Asian,Caucasian decent.

Guaranteed sales increase of 500%.

I knew something was wrong when I saw their jeans inside Costco.

[hal0g0dv2]

seems about right

Sample Sale is Better. See all of those jeans from Holt are from sample sale which you could get for only 70-80 dollars... instead of paying 250-350 +taxes

A rip off....

So yea I will vote for a sample sale n Vancouver I'm pretty sure it will be crazy.....

[Mr.HappySilp]

lol now their jeans will be worthless.

It's been worthless for a while now. Having it sold a Costco just totally killed the brand.

about $100. I'm pretty sure the jeans at Costco are for womens and STD though.

[Harvey Specter]

I seen this coming. So many mid-high end designers are in big trouble.

[fatal]

they need to go back to those old R designs, the new Rs are ugly, i havent bought a pair ever since they changed the back pocket R

Exactly... IDK whats on the Mind of their designers right now.....

AHM But the R&R Designs for women are awesome....

[*CinZ*]

What? I've never seen any of the jeans at Costco....which location? Must be those super ugly ones.

Its Fugly..... Its like a $30 jeans with R's in it

[Ducdesmo]

Global economy is doing horrible and US economy is on the verge of collapse. The last thing people would want to spend their hardearned money on is a pair of $200+ jeans.

[unit]

they're fuckin ugly anyway.

[tripleE]

they change their pocket design
like every single month and it gets uglier everytime
no fucking wonder they're losing money

[ShadowBun]

I guess all these highschoolers arent getting no more $ from their parents

[mikemhg]

In these economic times $250+ pairs of jeans are not realistic.

You will probably see a lot of different luxury type items and companies go under in the coming years, I have no doubt about it.

[whEEls7]

Sales at BR and GAP are doing horrible still, but not as bad as on the verge of filing bankruptcy

[dasuperstar]

I like R&R washes thou. They are unique and stylish + exclusive unless you buy pairs that are sold to discount like the one in Nordstrom Rack and Costco

[keifun]

so who's going to file for bankruptcy next, CA/Ed Hardy? True Religion?

:D

Not surprised, most these companies (RR, TR, et al.) use shit quality denim to begin with.

[ah_cat]

[sleazyho]

dont care much about TRs and RRs, sevens feel way better

[dasuperstar]

I dont like sevens... wash are ugly and looks cheap.

urban behavior or other medium cost jeans is way way better than sevens

[Meowjin]

so true

[RunningFree]

so who's going to file for bankruptcy next, CA/Ed Hardy? True Religion?

:D

My hypothesis is that this would be a double edged sword.

On the plus side, it would end the extreme douche baggery associated with these brands.

On the con side, they would just find some other gaudy sort of brand to horde and flaunt with equal or increased douche bag factor.

It could be a win-fall or a tragedy. :D

HR didn't even have a friends and family sale this year. I mean really, if you're financially hurting, you should have more sales to decrease the amount of dead stock you're going to be left with.

They need to bring back the older washes with the classic tri-color Rs. All of the new washes released in the last year have been ugly, and the Rs are even worse. The shape sucks, colors suck, and they're hardly even filled in.

They need to get rid of their other businesses which I suspect is losing them big money (cosmetics, pet accessories, etc.) and just focus on their core competency of making jeans.

Quoted for the truth. WTF was R&R thinking when they released pet accessories and cosmetics when they have no business in. Shirts and jackets were okay.. but still that is where i wouldve drawn the line. The jeans need to go back to the simpler days. but i guess its all business, fuck the quality up the profits.
