Just bought these R&B jeans as an alternative to the incredibly expensive TF NTTD Jamaica jeans. Similar colour and fit as the SA ones and on the US site they're down to $187, plus with the code RBTOGETHER15 you can get another 15% off, so $159.
Already have a couple of pairs of R&B jeans and they're top-notch quality and a great fit, which you would expect from a great brand like R&B.
Picked up the Greyston in fit 3 for $52. Final sale but worth the chance. I have R&B in fit 3 and really like them.
I also received the AG Graduate in gray today. True to size and very soft and stretchy. Zip fly is a plus for me. I think I will wait until the Rag and Bone jeans arrive to decide whether to keep the AG.
Sorry, double post! Selling my budget alternative for the Billy Reid Peacoat on eBay and wanted to offer those on here a chance to buy. Very nice coat only worn a couple of times with a lot of the details as can be seen from the photos. PM me if interested!
Please place this in the eBay thread...this is the Budget Bond thread...thank you.
I bought some Wranglers in light grey not long ago. They are stretchy and comfortable, but of course it has the patch on the back pocket. Not really the jeans I thought they were, but they are pretty comfortable so I kept them.

before I decided to buy the tf ones also searched for an alternative also and the best I could find was the G-Star 3301 Straight Tapered Jeans in Light Aged Grey, the colour and washing is very close, unfortunaly they have some yellow stitching around the pockets but thats just a small detail (they have these model always in stock in many many sizes, waist 24-40, lentgh 26-38)
they make a great alternative, even for me who owns the tf and sperrys because I'm always afraid that that the sa items are going to look distressed after wearing them too often haha
I recently bought an Apt 9. long sleeve slubbed Henley. Brand new from Kohls it is less than $10 on special right now. Great R&B budget find. I bought an XL and it kind of runs large. Not sure I could have sized down to L, but it is a great budget alternative. Here is the link...

I think I will keep the AG jeans. A little light in color but comfortable. I could send them back to Nordstrom, but I am not thrilled with the R&B jeans. R&B are slimmer than my other Fit 3 R&B's. I also wish they were just a hair longer in the leg, but that's due to the slimness. I worry about it shrinking.

Good find! Kohl's has some good stuff for guys, especially their Apt 9 line polos. Apt 9 (and even Marc Anthony's line) seem to be the more upscale, "cool" and "classy" stuff, while the Croft & Barrow line is more laid back and basics; Croft and Barrow polos, for example, tend to be more boxy and have pockets, and Croft and Barrow makes fairly decent flannel shirts for autumn and winter.
The only catch with the henley is the black buttons; beyond that, the slub style is a great Rag and Bone alternative.
Also, I'm fairly certain that John David Washington is rocking the black version of Craig's Rag and Bone henley in Tenet, which is also in the link you posted:
I thought it was a good find as well. I called Kohl’s and explained I didn’t want to pay shipping of $9 for a $10 shirt. They gave me free shipping. Sometimes it pays to be a Karen. Haha.
I actually found out this shirt runs rather large. The XL on me is pretty big so I got a large too. Also, I purchased their short sleeve version too.

Not sure if this will turn out to be a budget option or not, who knows it could turn out to be more expensive than the original, but while watching Yellowstone last night I noticed a jacket that was along the lines of the TF Solden jacket, here is a seperate post in the Spectre section, if anyone can help to find the brand of this jacket that would be sweet!
I have this watch and it seems well made. Has kept accurate time no problem. For the price it's a steal. The bracelet is kind of lacking but that's an easy fix.

For what it is worth I just received a Harrington I purchased off of Poshmark. It is black, but could easily pass for a dark navy. Banana Republic brand. This jacket is awesome. I purchased it for $15 plus shipping. I cannot wait to wear it in the cooler months here. There are a million (slight bit of hyperbole unlike Mr. White’s “we have people everywhere” quip) on Poshmark, eBay or Mercari. If interested give those a look.

What AG Jean fit do you recommend most? I am revamping my jeans this month. I have purchased a few used 7FAM jeans, all gently used and in excellent condition. I have two pairs of the Mercer's from QoS too. I have a pair of Wrangler jeans in grey to mock the TF grey jeans from NTTD, but they aren't my favorite. They stretch a lot. Pretty comfortable, but not only do they have the Wrangler patch on the pocket, they are VERY slim in the calf and ankle and enormous in the waist. Marked as a 36, but they are so large I have to wear a belth to keep them from falling off after taking a few beltless steps in them. So, I am looking for some grey AG's I think at this point. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I swear by AG jeans. The look, the fit, the durability...it's all there. They're the only jeans that I wear anymore. I think you'll be very happy with them.

It's a mistake to generalize wider interest among the buying public based on AJB. But not reissuing the Kentons in Sahara is one of the most puzzling decisions I have seen a brand make. Every year, it seems, J.Crew has come out with something new in their Kenton line (I'm using the word "new" loosely). But they've adamantly refused to capitalize on the Bond affiliation, and I can't believe it's because they're above that kind of thing. I know for a fact people on this board has approached them about a limited run even. It's not like we're talking about the Armani leather jacket from CR. These are decent, slightly above low-end boots. I owned a pair in the Boulder color once (they're nowhere close to Red Wings in quality). Meanwhile people here keep hunting for alternatives. Is it any wonder J.Crew is bankrupt?

I hope so too, thanks for sharing
There are some color differences with the Drake's but i think i like them more even though they are very similar.
