I’m gonna assume they mean either a jacket OR a shirt just not both. And a hat and sock as wellso if im clear you can only buy 1 shirt, 1 hat, and 1 pair of socks?
In L.A. we have a total of 6 spots to get the collection. When I ran into the RL rep visiting from New York, he told me that the company was being strategic : only releasing product at the most profitable doors/cities. He was nice enough to whip out his ipad and show me the Hi Tech collection coming in the Fall and Ski in the winter 2018-19. He said the company will release product at a similar pace as CP-93: general release to department stores with limited edition to the high selling locations. He said the Ski/Sui will be super limited.Are all Macy's two item limit?
Anyone know which design bloomies will have and if it will also be online?
You guys see this.. List of partner sites

The new RL store at Beverly Center is a small footprint with two rooms that the company is testing: the front room has the retro collections and the back room has denim/polos/ and custom. It was cray the other day : mad dudes were getting the custom polos made on the spot (the bear and crest most popular) and super popular was patches being added to gear. I saw 3 guys having patches added to the striped Bayport windbreaker and the white lifesaver windbreaker.
No problem ,James. Thank you for all the info you willingly share even though others criticize. It's all for the culture we love.Thank you for posting, great details!
He never cared in the past anyways. If he did now his perfect time was to give Rae some acknowledgement when he did the SB release. That’s crazy how they checking for sales release more heat at those locationsNo problem ,James. Thank you for all the info you willingly share even though others criticize.

Out here on the west coast, we have Lo heads BUT a lot of sales happen with tourists. At the Polo mansion in Beverly Hills, Bloomingdales and Macys, tourists will come in and pay FULL PRICE and buy an ENTIRE COLLECTION. Or rappers and athletes will walk in and say "give me everything you got in XXL". So local dudes have to compete with that. What the company is watching closely is sell throughs at full price. The doors with product selling out with no markdowns are where they want to be. The RL rep kept it 100 with me. And those doors will get exclusives/limited editions. Period. Bloomingdales in Bev Center has been their #1 dept store door ($20K-30K per month). The RL marketing team from New York flew to L.A. to see what the heck is going on. The Sailing collection is being released at about 15 Macys and 5 Bloomies across the country. The third party doors like Opening Ceremony /Urban Outfitters are RL attempt to go after millenials. This is strictly business y'all. RL has no emotion or love for any of y'all especially the Lo heads who have been rocking gear since the 1980s/1990s. They want new customers and new money!
Quick question....did these release here in the states? Or was these 1 of those euro exclusives?
The RL rep said that each spot will receive 150 pieces. That includes Macys, Bloomies, and new partners like Commonwealth in DC. The only spots receiving more are the three RL stores (NY, Hampton, L.A.) The L.A. store gave out 350 raffle tickets. The store will be open to the public after 6:00pm. Hope this info helps.Wish I knew about that list earlier. Was in DC Thurs, now Ima have to go back later to see what's good. I feel like every city outside of NYC should be an easy kop, but there's Lo heads everywhere and the kids looking to flip outweigh them smh.

UPDATE: The RL rep told me that the Hi Tech collection will start shipping in August and that Ski will ship in November. The goose jackets (Ski and Suicide) will be super limited. Otherwise Fall 2018 will be off the chain: he showed me varsity jackets and sweaters that will knock you out! Holiday will introduce new bear sweaters and blackwatch prints that will have you salivating.
SAVE YOUR MONEY. RL is quietly working on a deal with Macys/Bloomies/other dept stores to eliminate coupons/markdowns on RL products. I heard it from a credible source. I don't know how that will stop friends/family days but just a heads up for y'all. Ralph ain't screwing around anymore. They've been watching stuff sell out at full price AND reducing skus.I think they've cut back their product offerings by 25%. You will notice less gear at Marshalls/TJ maxx because of this.

RL is testing a strategy of "exclusives". You've often noted certain doors/retailers releasing product made for their brand. I noticed the UO and zappos are unique. If you look at the line item sheet for Macys exclusives, some colorways are not on there. The UO pants appear to be different: the green stripe seems to be a unique material. The CP-93 release on Tuesday will tell the real story: Macys will have their own style, Bloomies will have their own, etc.Anyone know if the limited edition cp-93 pants are the same as the green ones from urban outfitters or the white ones up on zappos?
Same stuff just different colors, or are the yellow ones better in some way? (I noticed it said they had the retro polo tag, the white ones I got have the printed polo performance logo on the inside.)
Can't tell from descriptions of they are a different material, quality or what not. But the limited edition ones are more expensive.
