**The Official Ralph Lauren Polo Thread**

Prices are back up though… And they’re hard to fine now
For the OG? Guess it rebounded

I get that the purist/collector would always want to have the original but I have both and if I was asked to pick one strictly on looks and wearability, i would choose the retro... the material isnt as itchy as the OG, the words/symbols are clearer, and the shape of the crown/crest looks cleaner.

Funny thing is I popped the tags on the black joint but still have the blue one NWTs... it still holds that much weight to me though it ain't worth ish lol

Oh sorry idk about the og. But the retro fetching about 500 if you can find one out there
 
Regret not grabbing this few years ago.

Picked one up, but wish it wasn’t a turtle neck. Saw an IG tailor turn one into a crew neck, might have to look into that. It’s a great sweater otherwise.

Edit: Should have finished the thread before I posted, LOL
 
so my 5 horsemen rugby went missing when i had it shipped to a close by UPS Store (urban outfitter order), and RL.com cancelled my order because they over sold the item. *sigh*

anyone know a website that is selling one at retail, sz M?

So I went into macys today and copped this coat, be advised online it says $798 but instore and on the actual tag on the coat it says $698, I still see it for $798 on every site also. 30% off at macys so it wasn’t a bad price in total. And runs roomy so I had to size down from my regular size.

The retro was executed perfectly and might be the only retro that surpassed the OG (marginally but still better)
Actually, there were a few, but what comes to mind is the Lifesaver. Rarely thought of amongst younger heads, but to original heads, Lifesavers were life. The retro def addressed and improved long-term flaws with the OG, and was built pretty damn close to OG spec.

Ya boy in the yesteryear; OG (cracking screen printed letters)

Retro; Stitched in letters, 95% faithful reproduction.

Still find rare surprise variants out there.

None of the above are the even the "Biggie jump in the pool" version. Blessings.
