Dallas, Texas but living in Houston, Texas
The thing is though and the reason I asked is living in NY I'm starting to see bum nikkas rock it. I love wearing polo button up's, and sweaters. I even wanted to rock their dad hats but my head was too big lol. With that said I had to check the temperature.

I don't want to look like a bum out here nah mean lol



Well to me Ralph Lauren clothes are good quality though. I also like their logos from the horses, to the bears, to the American flags on some of their clothes. I also own their olympic gear which is officially sponsored by the olympics.

With that said Ralph Lauren does make Purple label stuff without the logos :ufdup: Look into it.

$600+ prices :huhldup:


Sean John urban wear didn't die? I mean I know they suits is okay but I'm saying though.

Phat Farm ain't die? nor Fubu? nor Dada? nor Rocawear?
Definitely agree with the bolded part. I have a couple of Ralph Lauren Polo shirts from my senior year of high school (2001-2002:flabbynsick:) that still hold up almost look as good as when I bought them.

Point I am making is, do you. Does your ensemble feel good? Are you confident in your shyt?

If people say "fukk are you wearing?:picard:" can you even explain that you on your own wave? shyt, if bums are the measuring stick, you should see downtown
Chicago during the summer, cause these broke mawfukkas come UP off the Goodwill and Unique Thrift stores and whatnot. Just wear your shyt and don't worry about
the intangibles. shyt I wear(as evidenced by the moon boots) is shyt NO ONE ELSE is rocking, even if they are loud and hard to style with. However I am a grown ass man
so good or bad, i'm rocking out. Do the same and life becomes a fukking peach.

Facts, I myself want them Polo Bear sweaters, the dual match polo, the old polo and Tommy rain jackets that look like they from the Wu cover for Ironman, and last but not least I want the old Polo sports shyt. They don't make cool shyt like that anymore man. Everything in plain ass colors or super gay and tight.

I might sell some in a few months. I have a few Polo Sport jackets, sweatersand duffle bags in the stash. .Just sold an Arctic Challenge jacket from that line. I'll let you know. :jbhmm:

Polo clothes aren't quality though for the most part, the quality stuff they make you won't find in their stores lmao
they make profit because their shyt is made in china for dirt cheap

Those lines are pretty much failures.

Ralph has staple items, that they will always have and produce every year or ever year or so, that will never fall off. Their new product lines from 2014-2016 have left a lot to be desired though, outside of the bear sweater revival.
failures in what way? :hhh:Purple label is his signature & one of the highest end mens line out and spawned the black label.

Denim & Supply are targeted to the Brooklyn Circus, Ebbets Field, Men's Vintage lines and still doing numbers

If you said the Rugby line was a failure, then I'd agree but you on your own with this one, champ.

Bum nikkas rock everything, I know nikkas who still old as hell at home with mom, broke most of the time with real Rock's, real trus:manny:

True, I agree.

It's just that too many of them rocking it. Might have to stop rocking it for a couple seasons them come back just to prove a point lol but I hear what your saying though. Some bum's dress fly but can't put it together and stuff like that as well.

Same here, that's why I say that. They last long as hell man and they sweaters is official. They don't shrink like them cheaper ones and that might be why they cost big money. Maybe the polo shirts them selves are overpriced and the sweaters could be a bit more reasonable but they hold up.

Thanks for the advice, also I like the wooden watch but the moon boots are unique to say the least lol. More power to you though fam and I hear what you saying.



RRL, Denim & Supply and Purple Label still doing it
I fukk with denim and supply too. They got some legit gear and I copped this jean jacket from them that was wavy :obama: These NY bytches kept tryna steal my shyt though, had to hit them with the where you think you going. None of these broads gonna take my jackets from me or my hats. They not wifey so they got to chill with that.

Nah they jeans now a days is trash, I agree but to me their stuff is quality. Especially their sweaters.

Please fam, let me know. I'm serious and look forward to doing business with you if you got some heat in good condition that would fit me.

Black label doesn't exist and purple label and denim & supply don't have much an an identity. They are just "more expensive" and "less expensive" versions of blue labeled polo. And RRL and D&S came out during some of the worst years financially in RL history. They just aren't making any impact and d&s is Macy's "up 70% off" status regularly.

I have bookcases full (serving as shelves) of RL, those two lines just haven't had any impact like core blue label.

No doubt, I'm just trying to get my weight back up after last year. I picked up and flipped the Ski 92 shirt and a hoodie from the Polo USA line that I found randomly. Trying to get up in the vintage vendor warehouse spots around here next...

Oh, I wear an XL. Also damn how do you get your hands on this stuff? Polo really has a Vintage Vendor Warehouse :gladbron: Didn't know that.

I'll let you know - I go digging at the weekends when I have time and you can literally turn up anything. I've heard of people pulling Stadium pullovers off a rack in the thrift stores up here. One of the people I follow on Instagram found a mint Polo USA goose a couple of weeks ago too

The Ski '92 - my homegirl owned a vintage store. I was on the bus going past and it was just hanging in the window. I literally did a double take, got off the bus and bought it immediately for $40. I sold it in November for like $800.

The Polo USA joint, I just found at a thrift spot for $4 and sold it for 3 bills

Lol - I wish there was a specific Polo vintage warehouse - I meant the warehouses where all the clothes go before Vintage spots buy them. I'm trying to cut out the middle man

I been telling these hypebeasts that for years.
Its no such thing as a brand being DEAD if the brand is still making products.

Soon as they favorite athlete or rapper when Fubu again them same zombies gone start getting suited and booted
Lmao yup

People claiming to be so different but they all follow the same trends like if you go to Philadelphia when something is trendy everyone in Philadelphia wears it.

shyt is dumb lol
