Ripley Rader

I purchased their wide leg pants and some shirts. The pants seem nice and I will keep. Note they are long (I am 5'8) so may require hemming. I will wear with heels. The shirts run small (I don't agree with their advice to size down). I'm medium build but athletic arms/shoulders and the tops feel very tight. They are also more cropped than I anticipated. They charge for return shipping so it's annoying to have to pay to return the items.

I'm so bummed I would have loved to give a 5 star review and love how the wide leg pants fit and the structured look they give…. But BOTH the front back seams are completely breaking down and full of holes after just ONE wear! It's ridiculous for $178 pants, and it's not like they were skin tight and being stretched to the max. I'm not sure if it's a defect specific to this batch or if all of the clothes are of this quality but it's a big disappointment.

I purchased these pants for a dream trip to France. They completely change shape within an hour by the end of my international flight. They look like maternity pants. They are now sitting in a ball in the top of my closet. They are horrible. Do not waste your time or money. I am 128 pounds and 5/6 I'm a lean runner these pants don't look good on anyone. Trust me.

I am 58 years old and in great shape, I am 5'6" and with 5 inch heels they are still way too long. The bell bottoms are super wide and were overwhelming for me. I am short waisted and the top of the pant came up to just under my breast. If you are 5'9 +, long waisted and a size XS, I am sure you could rock them.
I wanted them to work, sadly a waist of time and money because I had to pay to ship them back. They are all over instagram and I should have read the reviews first. Shame on me.

Online stores are hard to buy from because you can't touch, see up close or try items on. You're looking at reviews & making a best guess. I saw virtually no bad reviews for the classic black pants. Bought them in my regular size (checked size chart). It took 16 days for them to arrive & I live in Seattle (shipped from LA). I finally got them yesterday, tried them on, and can't believe how long they are! They are designed to be hemmed it seems. I'm 5'9" and generally have to buy 'tall' in my pants. These are "normal' sized but extremely long. Like I'd have to put on 3 inch heels and they'd still be grazing the ground. Really strange no one has mentioned this. The rest of the pant is ok. Nothing special. I don't understand the $200 price tag. Now I either have to pay to ship them back as a return or pay to have them hemmed. I wouldn't make this purchase again. Taking the time here to write a review to help others not make the same frustrating mistake I did.

UPDATE: I kept the RR pants and have worn them twice, on occasions where I wear high heels. They are fine for that purpose. AND, I bought the wide-leg ponte pants from Quince and they are AMAZING! My first time buying anything from Quince and I am totally impressed with the quality. They arrived quickly too, even though sent from Australia. Most of all, they are what I had hoped the Ripley Rader pants would be. They fit perfectly (I bought the one with the bigger inseam for my long legs). I can wear them with anywhere from a 1-3 inch heel and they look lovely, don't drag on the ground but meet the ground perfectly. AND, the Quince pants are 1/3 of the price. I bought them in 3 colors now and cross my fingers they come out with more colors.

Order took 23 days. No communication. Pants are unwearably long. Expressed dissatisfaction. They are making ME PAY to return
