I don't really see anyone wearing RL outside of the crowd that still wears polos with visible white tees underneath along with Jordans. Basically dudes stuck in 2006
What kind of bubble do you live in? That's like saying "nobody really wears Nikes anymore".

i really didn't choose to adopt this mindset it's just over time and after experiencing things like marriage and mortgages etc I just don't even care to find out. A similar thing happened with new music/tv etc. I still love shoes of course but tbh after the end of matching as a fashion staple I can just throw on a denim shirt and some chinos and wear almost any shoe.
huge difference

Dudes dont know... I need to look into that first pair of RL boots
Which is cool and all, but from a regular consumer's perspective, polo with no branding doesn't make much sense to me. Why wouldn't you get something that looks similar but is cheaper? Polo has declined in quality so it isn't really gonna win over its competitors. Those lowkey 'maybe' RL shirts are dope, but RL is nothing without its respective logo(s)That's because you aren't aware of anything that RL makes outside of the polo shirts, and shirts with the horse logo. The RL that you "see" is just a very small part of all of the clothing that RL puts out every year. You would be surprised if somebody showed you the tags on their RL clothing that has no visible logos to find that it is RL and you looked right past it.

This is because the "regular customer" has it all wrong. You buy the higher quality Polo items with no branding (not sold in most dept stores), and high tier the Ralph Lauren items because they will last. This is were "timeless" comes in. You pay a bit more for something one time, instead of buying a cheaply made item over and over again. You end up spending less in the long run, and you don't have to worry about "polo" going out of style because there's no logo by buying quality.Which is cool and all, but from a regular consumer's perspective, polo with no branding doesn't make much sense to me.

I still dont know why Ralph Lauren got rid of Rugby.
That regular customer is what most businesses need to function, unless you're saying they'd be better off discontinuing their low end and only keeping the high end stuff. Also, I wasn't speaking from personal experience per se, but since you mentioned it, I have held the more expensive stuff, and for the asking price, I wasn't impressed.This is because the "regular customer" has it all wrong.

To add, Ralph Lauren is everything without the logos. The designs and materials used are RL staples that will never go out of style because they've been making them so long.
Your opinion is based on your own experience, but until you,ve had the high end RL items in-hand, there's no way that it's going to make sense to you. There's a huge difference between an $1,800 RL boot and a $160 Polo Boot, a $4,000 shearling coat and a $200 Polo shearpa jacket, etc. Smart shoppers have found channels to own lots of the high end RL items at a fair price.
@KingofChicago, Nice RRL Boots up there

speak for yourselfThe nickname is relevant though lol. Outside of actual golfers, fast food workers, and the occansional polo guy, no one was really rocking them except old dudes at sporting events and company picnics.

you were insinuating that dudes dont rock dad hatsI don't see the relevance of this post you quoted.
I provided a list of people who wore them. You even quoted it. What are you talking about?you were insinuating that dudes dont rock dad hatsI don't see the relevance of this post you quoted.
Very sad to see this. I thought Ralph Lauren was going to stand the test of time just like the other high end brands that originated in Europe.
It does seem like celebrities and athletes have moved away from Ralph Lauren for whatever reason. Nothing lasts forever..
It's not going anywhere, same as Lacoste,Burberry ,Calvin Klein ,Tommy Hilfiger , Nautical etc . Might not be the flavor of the week but they not going anywhere.
