**The Official Ralph Lauren Polo Thread**

In case anyone is still trying to spend that Cycle Retro Jacket money, Here's a review of the Mojave Expectations Vest.

In Short: Return Label is already on the box and ready to send back.

I knew that the 2 patches are different than the stock photos, but the new wildlife patch is smaller than the og patch. I thought I could deal with this, but the smaller scale really kills the presence of the vest.

The change to the Nameplate Patch is not bad, but "RL MOJAVE", from the stock photo,would have been so much better.

The patches on the back are close to what is shown online, but the back pocket just looks wrong. A flap with buttons from the og rafting jacket would have been more rugged, instead of the middle school lunch bag RL sewed on.

My biggest complaint is the quality and the fit of the vest. The material is tissue thin, and has almost no weight to it at all. You wouldn't know you had it on if you couldn't hear it. The fit is true to size, but the its cut like a Mitchell&Ness Throwback ABA Jersey. I felt like I needed to jump and smack the doorframe with both hands on the way to the mirror.

The D rings are all cheap lightweight plastic that are only for looks. I wouldn’t trust a set of house keys on them.

This one is going back today. At $298.00, it's the worst quality RL item that I've purchased from .com. I wouldn’t even buy it again later at $50. It's that bad.
Thanks for saving me 300 and free shipping.

Damn. They went low quality on that vest. Hardware super cheap. YKK zippers?? They think we are suckers.
 
If you are in nyc /Brooklyn (park slope) this Friday November 11th come on out. I’m there letting some things go and the team behind the lo-trade shows will be vending too.

Anyone think the app will restock the cycle jacket again? Kinda odd that it’s supposedly sold out but it stay showing up on the app. Thought I got lucky the other day when one showed up and I snagged it, but order ended up getting cancelled a few hours later. Low key considering going the forwarding service route…
