**The Official Ralph Lauren Polo Thread**

It's back? I thought it was done.
Yeah but under the blue label…so far just a couple of corny tees.
What pieces, that have yet to be retroed, are some of you are looking forward to? Ralph really emptied the clip 2017-2019
No and hell no. The whole retro overall is so played out. And not just RL.
I don't necessarily wanna see retros, but I think that African safari stuff is due for a revist. Bout the only really dope theme that hasnt been ran into the ground in the last 5 years or so.

And bring Rugby back!
I agree on safari but not the reservation line they did (as 🔥🔥🔥🔥 as it was) but some other aspects of the continent, they have been doing safari for decades and classy at that. I wouldn’t want it to get lame like most of this newer stuff.
What’s that you say about rugby …. It well never be dope again like it was..

I would go just to get patches so much they would show me what’s new they just got in.
There was a wall that had some sold out ones I would eventually get because of persistent.

And More patches !!! Nyc store “R” wing !!
Opened in 04 and closed in 013 the had a great run. The first iteams that was available was classic varsity,collegiate,and some military style product and the first custom/do it yourself option…as a creative I was in heaven!! Then it got outrageous when the Harlem dudes got on it😂😂😂 miss placed patches all over for no rhyme or reason what so ever.
I’m not digging out the gear. 😂

I know it depended on size, but what was the price range on a patch, back then?

$10-$40/45 and they was always on sale in about two weeks. Certain styles/designs would sell out fast that’s why I was on it like I was. Some was so popular that they raised the price from original srp.
Checking my receipts, looks like patches ranged from 6-15 when the brand was closing

Also got some gems like the Pendleton x rugby blanket for 90
Those blankets was 🔥🔥🔥 great cop😎
Yup as low $3 depending on what was left when they was closing. One day of the last week they dumped the basement inventory and I went in for my lady and kids to the point I had to drop bags off at her job that wasn’t far just so I can come back,it was a “everything must go” situation because as the day went on inventory just got cheaper and cheaper . I regret not doubling or tripling up on the $195 salvage denim for $25 a pop.

No retros; but I would like to see a few items reissued in a different color or using a different fabric than the original item.


I don't necessarily wanna see retros, but I think that African safari stuff is due for a revist. Bout the only really dope theme that hasnt been ran into the ground in the last 5 years or so.

And bring Rugby back!
I also would like to see the African Safari Collection return; No retros, but new items including a few knitted henleys and sweaters.

Rugby inspiration was heavily used in Polo items over the last 5 years. I don't think a reboot of tte brand is necessary, especially if the items look like what Polo is already rolling out.

damn, I was just happy to pay the price I did online for a few items before they shut down Rugby for good

Went to the store in NY once...nice setup

still have a few Rugby pieces...got rid of most and kind of wish I hadn't but I just wants wearing them much 🤷‍♂️
 
Saks sent out an email for 25% off.. applies to most Polo but on the site it’s actually 20%… mistake on their end
 
Glad to finally get tgis hoody and complete the set (even though I wouldnt weat shorts with a hoody, I hate when they do this instead of sweat pants, but I will wear them with the T). Got the last one in my size on END for $170 shipped.

Polo missed their chance. If lvmh wants an American company with international appeal, they can take north face or timberland. They can make those
into their iconic American brand to sell in Europe and china.


Polo moves slow and is a public company.
Keiring already worked with northface and timberlamd. They did Gucci collaborations.

Are those not sister companies, owned by vf corp a public company?

I have the white hoodie but that blue sweatshirt was dropped off at the wrong address... Are those sweatshirts at other outlets?? I would definitely run out to pick one up this weekend....
 
Looks like another opportunity for a bunch of pieces ppl missed out on from 2 years ago

They need to redrop the biker hoodie with more availability or finally drop that black ski hoodie with the mountain print all around
