Rock and Republic Pockets
They looked and fit great! I happened to have picked the wider leg one (Victoria Beckham La Jeans), so it made me look taller and more slimming. The wash was also excellent, in a gorgeous even indigo shade with just a hint of those engineering effect. I must admit, I was very surprised. First because I didn't think much of Victoria Beckham as a designer (although she probably didn't design it completely on her own anyway....) and secondly because it is by Rock and Republic, and R&R never used to fit me so well, particularly around the butt. But alas, they are priced close to $300 and I'm not sure I'm prepared to pay that much for them. Especially when I haven't decided if those gold crowns are tacky or cool . . . 
. . though i guess they are better than these skulls. At first glance, I really liked the intricate emblemic design. But once I realized there was a skull...well, lets just say they are not to my taste.
I much prefer their classic logo. Simple, sleek yet cool. Although by now, I must admit, it has become a bit boring seeing it on everywhere.
The gold stitching is a good twist to make it more interesting. Although again, it can potentially border on too much.Thoughts on these pockets?

personally, i hate the gold crowns and i would say they're more tacky than cool ...
but i'm all for if you love it buy it.
out of all the pics, i would pick the third ones... looove the dark jeans but again pocket design not the best.
citizens are my fave fit ... they never dissappoint!
you gotta be very sure of your butt to put crowns on.
i'd prefer a "skull" thing as it goes unnoticed unless you point at it.
I love the crowns, personally - then again i own 3 pairs of them! I paid about US$130 for each pair though. If you want a pair you should check out Authentic Forum or Honest Forum, they've both got Mall sections where they're selling them cheap :)
I'm not a big fan of the crowns, but I own 2 pairs of Rock & Republic jeans with the stylized R's, and I adore them.
I like the classic logo with the gold stitch. But I wouldn't pay $300 for it... looks like it should cost way less, but I'll trust your word on the fit- LoL.
i love the crowns, but not the skull. tacky.
the second pair are boring.
third pair probably all around best choices. $300 is too much.
i actually quite like the R&R pockets...crowns were kinda nice but Juicy couture and all the ppl wearing DVB jeans kinda outplayed them. The skulls are ok too...but the skull trend also made the skulls on those jeans seem tackier than normal. But then R&R doesn't fit me the best...and I would never pay $300 for a pair of jeans. I'm short and my thighs aren't the slimmest...so i find Joe's and Taverniti SO to fit the best.
R&R is the best. The price is a bit scary at first but you end up living in them.
I don't own any R&R jeans, but I do like the classic R pocket.
i think they were really cool about a year ago but now they've gotten to be borring and like you said they are EVERYWHERE
I think the gold crowns are kind of over. Seems like those pockets are trying a little too hard. No price, however, is too high for jeans that make your butt look good!
LOVE ROCK & REPUBLIC DENIM! I prefer the discontinued Roth style, now referred to as "Urban" in some instances. I don't like the crowns much nor the VB branded denim, but above all its the fit that rules!

I have always liked rock and republic jeans, but only with the original back pocket design. The crowns and the skulls are just so obtrusive and flashy...i've always had a simple style though.
I love citizens jeans, but they always seem to stretch out on me. But by far my favorites have always been Earnest Sewn/Paper Denim Cloth. They're by the same designer, I think, which is why they're so similar. But they're very classy jeans that fit great. I think Paper Denim jeans were my first pair of designer denim, and I still wear them on a daily basis!!
I HAVE THE 2nd TO LAST ONES! WOOT! LOVE THEM....
Rock and Republic = bad quality and too flashy
I'm a big fan of the classic logo. I think the curves work with the curves of my body. I swear that simple stitching makes my butt look like I've just had a lift done.
I understand that it is everywhere, but I like it when it is on my booty. :)
Hi! I just wanted to say I love your blog! This is a great post, although I am one of the few that still has a soft spot for jeans.

Fred Naggar vs. Rock & Republic / Michael Ball
NATURE OF ACTION
1. This action arises from the wrongful and intentional acts of both
corporate defendant Rock & Republic Enterprises, Inc. ("Rock &
Republic"), a manufacturer of designer denim jeans and apparel, and
its CEO, founder and head designer, Michael Ball, a/k/a Michael F.
Ball ("Ball").
2. Despite the overwhelming success and revenue plaintiff Fred Naggar
("Naggar") brought to and generated for the defendants, turning what
was a fledgling jean company into a fashion empire, Rock & Republic
and Michael Ball deliberately and without reason, refused to pay
Naggar substantial monies owed, effectively ostracized him, and forced
him to resign.
3. Defendants then publicly humiliated Naggar by having him escorted
from their offices by security, while summarily and illegally evicting
him from his own home by having the locks on his door changed and by
retaining his personal property. Such acts of humiliation and
intimidation were immediately followed by the filing of a frivolous
lawsuit against Naggar's related company, that had also generated
millions for Rock & Republic.
4. In furtherance of a pattern and practice of intimidation directed
at both Naggar's person and profession, in May 2007, defendant Michael
Ball, without provocation or warning, then violently assaulted Naggar
physically and verbally, in a well-known, popular nightclub intending
to and causing physical harm and embarrassment before a crowd of
onlookers and business associates. Plaintiffs bring this action to
recover damages resulting from the aforesaid intentional and wrongful
acts and omissions of the defendants.
2.) New information was filed today in the Klinko vs. Rock & Republic
case. A Memorandum of Law was filed supporting the case. In
addition, documents were filed with the court about Ball's violent and
criminal past, arrest and sentencing records and use of false social
security numbers. An excerpt follows and the document is attached.
Excerpts from Klinko vs. Rock & Republic / Michael Ball
Introduced to the court 6/15/2007
23. In fact, as plead in the Complaint, prior to Michael Ball's
threats and extortion against me, I was well aware of his violent
behavior, criminal history and psychological instability, as revealed
to me by Ms. Fernanda Romero. Compl., paras. 23-25. Such a history
and predisposition has been corroborated by numerous witnesses,
further substantiating my fear and apprehension regarding his threats,
as well as his motivation to silence my knowledge of the same.
Attached as Exhibit "C" is the Affidavit of Cynthia Pinot ("Pinot
Aff."), which was also submitted in opposition to defendants' motion
to strike. The car chase and brutal assault by Michael Ball against
Ms. Fernanda Romero, detailed in the Pinot Affidavit, has been further
corroborated by both Alex DeFelipe and Pascal Azoulay, the gentlemen
who were also assaulted and chased by Ball through the streets of Los
Angeles. Both DeFelipe and Azoulay have also corroborated Ball's
pattern of intimidation against those that would expose such criminal
conduct.
24. In addition to the above, our ongoing investigation has also
corroborated various allegations made in the Complaint pertaining to
defendant Michael Ball's motive to threaten and extort plaintiffs,
such as my knowledge of criminal activities, acts of violence, court
ordered psychiatric treatment, Ball's own use of a false social
security number (which he presented to police upon his arrest and
sentencing in the matter attached), and evidence that at least three
different social security numbers were used by Fernanda Romero,
corroborating both Romero's and Ball's admission that Ball assisted in
obtaining the same. Two examples of the above are attached hereto as
Exhibit "D" (arrest and sentencing report; Solis v. Ford, L.A.
Superior Court, Case No. BC 228258).
Ladies, I know $300 is a bit high!! The fit has changed because I could never fit the earlier styles. Now, I have 3 pair and I have to go with the masses and say that the fit is excellent!!I have thighs and but, and the fit is Priceless!! I don't mind, skulls, classic R, or crowns...it's all about the fit.
I talked to someone close to Markus Klinko and Indrani in the last few days.
He is such a fair gentleman. He had been pointing out all along
that Fernanda Romero should be getting a large part of Rock & Republic as she helped Michael Ball building the brand in the first few years. He is saying that she should be the 50% owner of Rock & Republic. Michael Ball not only beat Fernanda up brutally many times, but he totally cheated her out of millions. Ball is a scumbag and a criminal. Romero should be a rich girl by now.
EXCERPTS FROM PINOT AFFIDAVIT - MARKUS KLINKO VS ROCK & REPUBLIC / MICHAEL BALL
2. I write this affidavit to explain what I believe are clear motivations of defendant Michael Ball leading up to the claims made in this lawsuit.
Based upon my personal knowledge of Fernanda and Michael Ball, I am convinced that Michael Ball’s improper motivations caused the situation that Markus Klinko and his company are facing now. I firmly believe that the entire soap opera that was and is the relationship between Michael Ball and Fernanda directly lead to, contributed to and was the motivation behind the threats allegedly made by Mr. Ball against Markus Klinko and his company.
5. First and foremost, the sexually explicit photos that are in question in this lawsuit, were indeed shown to Michael Ball by Fernanda. I specifically recall Fernanda telling me that she showed them to Michael Ball, and that she was the one that let him see them.
Fernanda’s marriage to Kent Ross is common knowledge among all of our friends and associates. What is also common knowledge is that their marriage was arranged by Michael Ball for the sole purpose of gaining U.S. citizenship for Fernanda. No one doubts this as Fernanda made that very clear. In fact, Fernanda has never really lived with her “husband”. Fernanda told me about Michael Ball’s help and his introduction to Kent Ross. Fernanda also explained to me how Kent Ross was even paid to marry her.
This information is likely something that Michael Ball would not want disclosed to anyone - let alone to plaintiff Markus Klinko, who was living with Fernanda and was in a very close, intimate relationship with her for all of 2006. I know that Fernanda would eventually tell Markus Klinko everything about her relationship with Michael Ball. Fernanda also had a violent and turbulent relationship with Michael Ball, leading to a police involvement that I personally witnessed (described below); something that Mr. Ball would likely not want to be disclosed either.
10. I have also become aware that Michael Ball did not know of Fernanda’s close relationship with Markus Klinko until after the Rock & Republic photo shoot with Mr. Klinko. With my knowledge of Mr. Ball, it is very likely that such a disclosure evoked a powerful motivation to keep both his violent history with Fernanda and complicity in her immigration status a secret.
11. I have witnessed Michael Ball’s frightening, violent and jealous behavior firsthand, along with Fernanda and two other friends. In this particular incident in June 2003, not only did Michael Ball physically assault two of my male friends and follow us in a horrific car chase through Santa Monica, Hollywood and Los Angeles, but when he caught up to us, he pulled Fernanda by the hair from our car and kicked her in a jealous rage. In this incident, police were called two times before they arrested him and lead him away in handcuffs.
22. I remained friends with Fernanda after that horrible night, right up until recently. Despite my total fear and repulsion for Michael Ball, she continued her “relationship” with him, however strange. At a certain point, especially after the incidents leading up to this lawsuit, I could handle it no more.
23. I firmly believe, and respectfully submit, that such a horrific past clearly is a motivation for Michael Ball to attempt to silence Markus Klinko - and anyone who gets in his way.
Luckily for Fernanda Romero, Markus Klinko is ACTING against this jerk, Michael Ball. Everyone else seems to be upset with him but aren't doing a THING about it! At least Markus Klinko is standing up for his principles and bringing justice to these defenseless women! Michael Ball has completely taken advantage. It's just not right!
Fernanda Romero, Victoria Beckham AND Jessica Alba should all be utilizing the legal system to go up against Michael Ball's immoral & selfish acts.
Michael Ball drives me nuts. I just can't quite comprehend how he thinks he can continuously take advantage of people, over, and over, and over.
Seriously! Those are some well known women! Do your part ladies! Make this jerk pay for what he's done... no man should be allowed to drag a woman out of her car by the hair like a freakn' caveman and get away with it! Even besides all the money Fernanda is owed for helping make Rock and Republic as successful as it is, she needs to put this loser behind bars for abuse! He makes me sick!
Oh lord! This soap opera keeps getting more interesting!!! Fernando Romero is spilling the truth to investigators on her FRAUD MARRIAGE to Kent Ross!! I can't believe Michael Ball arranged that and Kent Ross's girlfriend Gladys Otero must be pissed! Famous people aren't innocent from what it seems...haha
Victoria Beckham is supposedly planning on suing the LA based premium denim fashion label Rock & Republic. She says that the company owes her more money than they have already paid her for promoting the label which she was associated with in the past.
Up to $100 million dollars is being sought by her and it looks like it’s going to be a real long legal battle. The ex - Spice girl has recently started her own line of clothing called DVB Style and is in talks to expand further into denim, the product which she promoted R&R so successfully with.
Recently the UK distributor for R&R dissed Beckham hard about her new line of jeans

One thing is absolutely true:
Michael Ball, at this moment, is being sued for extortion, assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful eviction and tortious interference, among other things.
Before Michael Ball ever met Klinko he had been involved in criminal activity and horrible acts of violence.
It’s part of the public record, and the details of what he’s done will amaze you.
You can read about it here:
Los Angeles Superior Court, case number BC 228258
(Ordered to pay $50,000 plus for beating a restaurant owner in the face)
Superior Court of Santa Monica, case number 1SM02392
(Ordered to psychiatric counseling after criminal conviction.)
Supreme Court of the State of New York, case number 101063/07 and 662018/07
(Other documented incidents of sociopathic and abnormal behavior)
Jeans CEO Accused of Trying to Get in Employee's Pants
08-27-2007
Rock and Republic clothing's CEO and lead designer, Michael Ball, is being sued by a former employee for sexual harassment.
TMZ obtained the lawsuit, filed August 17 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, that claims in November of 2006, Nicole Baros interviewed with Ball to be his personal assistant. During the five-minute interview, Baros alleges Ball asked her if she "had a boyfriend." The lawsuit claims that during her first month of employment, Ball made unwanted sexual advances towards her, such as "touching her hair, and continually staring at Baros' breasts and butt," and one point told her he wanted to "sleep with her."
The lawsuit also alleges at the company Christmas party Ball "cornered Baros in a room and attempted to kiss her ... then proceeded to stick his hand down plaintiff's pants." Later that month, she says she went to Ball's home to have him sign company checks and he answered the door in his underwear. She then says he chased her "around his apartment, grabbed her and threw her on his bed."
In the end, Baros claims she was n ot selected to go to Fashion Week in New York City, and was ! "let go and was told that there was not enough work for her."
This is so funny! More and more people are realizing how horrible Rock & Republic is.....
Party girl Paris Hilton kicked off Monday night - which ended after 13 bottles of champagne - by "hosting" a charity event, though she wasn't in a giving mood.
According to an insider, Hilton refused to be photographed at the Puck Building event with the AmFAR Rocks co-chairs from Rock & Republic, instead staying behind a velvet rope with her flack all night.
Rock & Republic has become the go-to jean line for Hollywood, and is known for edgy progressive denim inspired by Rock & Roll with an emphasis on sexy, modern silhouettes and a sleek fit.
