**The Official Ralph Lauren Polo Thread**

The Bears are actually one of my favorite lines.

Lol bears were one of my favorite lines too, but they get neglected by me. They sit in bins of storage probably just talking to themselves saying "c'mon Jay, take me out this season".

Or "sell em to me".

Thoughts on this piece. I actually like it, does it come off as a sweater your grandparents would wear ?

It matters how you rock it. If you wear it with some loose fit pleated chinos and some square toe shoes,then yeah you would look like a Grandpa. If you wear it with some slim fit  RRL jeans and some Polo boots then it would come off much better IMO.

trying to decided which one to go with. anyone have either one of these and what do you think of it?

how about, no.

besides, i'm talking about bear knit sweaters. my bear knits are happily sitting in storage.

what are you still looking for? the same bear sweatshirts from 2 years ago when you posted my pic on VGA?

side note: when buying one of those bear hats make sure that the bill is sown on straight. i noticed i had to go through alot of them at the store before i found ones that looked good to me. i found this to be a problem on a lot of RL hats

truth right here. QA is horrible on hats, i had the same problem for that blue long bill that came out with the mesh siding.

That's the beauty of Polo - it can be something "your grandfather would wear" and be dope at the same time - pretty much all the fly stuff from the Sportsman line is like that. But, like everything, it's how you rock it. The first sign that you won't be able to pull something off is not being confident that you can pull it off. If I have reservations about rocking something, I just pass. If you feel uncomfortable, you are going to look uncomfortable. That's not to say people shouldn't try new things, but they should approach it in the right mindset.

PREACH brother!

My man looks like he going to the moon.

You gotta stay in Canada to rock something like that.

Man, we wouldn't even wear that up here either.

I was talked out of copping this while in the mall

Little do they know I will be pulling the trigger on it the next time I step foot in the door

Love the color blocking on that jacket, but I feel like it's cut just a bit too short for my liking.

BIP going back to what u said, i love a lot the indian print / aztec / navajo stuff, new and old, but there are some that i pass on bc i cant pull it off. its a good thing tho, otherwise my wallet would have an even bigger hole in it.

I feel the same way about some of the all-over print type stuff. I've let stuff like the Cartoon Stadium button up, the Riviera, and even the Casino pass on because I just felt kind of silly in them - no shots ay anybody who owns or wants those pieces. In retrospect, the Cartoon joint isn't that bad because from afar it's a lot more abstract than the other two.

When's the next sale??? Want one of these 2 but I'm not trying to pay retail

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

Those of you waiting on discounts, and shopping online, I can save you 30% off of full priced at any given time, no time for games though, willing to help serious shoppers, ready to buy now, not in 4 weeks, have gotten some crazy PMs Please don't contact me for 1 or 2 items unless they are of significant amount.

 

[supermanblue79]

Truth BIP. I'm drawn to those types of RL Items. And because of how versatile they are, I don't mind paying a little more since you can do so much with them. You can throw on a pair of jeans, or build an entire look off that single Peice. It's a beautiful thing when you mail it and get the "look at my man" stamp of approval from the Mrs..

BTW, the hunt scene sweater is perfection. I can't wait for cold weather.

Latest pickup...

 

[boxdok]

Anybody know if one or both of these boots have Good Year Welt bottoms that can be replaced. It is not specified on the website but I assume for the MSRP that they would. kind of leaning towards the suede joints right now.

 

[All Ready]

[flyerthandelta]

I would assume so but you can try emailing RL and asking them who made the boots. I personally like the suede ones more as well. The lacing on the brogues throws it off for me.

Although if you are paying $900 for some suede or calfskin boots, might as well splurge and get either the Lindrick or Gianni. Both of those are by Crockett & Jones and are goodyear welted. The double leather sole of my Marlow wingtips (also from C&J) are still going strong after 5 years. Plus, shell cordovan > *

solid pick-up

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

Thank you sir, it was hard choosing between this and the scenic shawl collar above in Burgandy and x-large has recently disappeared from the site in that one

There are lots of holiday knits and sport shirts with print, best winter lineup I have seen in a while, and all these accessories that seem so necessary to have.

I also hear from a Macys rep that they are releasing 3 different bear sweater exclusively to Macys only.....but here's the kicker, one of the bear is the Martini....BOOM

Interesting.....

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

Makes sense, I figured more bears are to come, if they all cost $300 and excluded from discount I will continue to pass though...
