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

Oh I see lol, well that's dope man. Good luck with your hunting!

Polo shyt like Nikes and Jordans will never go out of style.

It'll always at the very least be formal or casual semi formal shyt to rock I would think...

Just cause like teenagers and people in their 20s may not rock it compared to like Supreme or whatever doesn't mean it doesn't have its place.


I mean at least I would think so.

My entire wardrobe is Ralph but.....


To keep it funky, Ralph is kinda falling off because Ralph Lauren and all his people left the company around 2 years ago. He hasn't been CEO for a while. The dude who was the CEO of H&M & The Gap (Stefan Larsson) took over Ralph Lauren and brought all his people in. All the people who created all the power pieces that made Polo what it is (The bear knits, the snow beaches, 1992 Ski jackets, 1992 stadium, Japan anorak, and so on are gone) I recently DJ'd a random party at this mansion a couple of weeks ago. Dude who owned the mansion designed the big pony polos and was doing consultant work for them told me a lot about the company....

Yall nikkas is crazy.. I never rocked polo shirts but i always wear polo clothing, Jackets, pants, t shirts, sweaters. Black people think polo and they just think of polo shirts.. so dumb.

Polo is a brand, not a fukking collared sport shirt.
Word.... Don't know what these nikkaz talking about

Got polo knit sweaters from about a decade ago that I still rock....No logos or nothing

Well to the urban demographic...nah mean.



Most of us are from the hood I assumed :mjpls:


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 just wish I had the money to get this kind of stuff.


You mean cologne? Word that stuff is good. The ladies love how it smell but I stick to Ferragamo these days myself.


Well Ralph Lauren is more so the brand and Polo is a type of shirt also known as a tennis shirt but Ralp Lauren's Polo shirt became so popular it kind of became a brand all it's own and the other Polo shirts are kind like bootlegs lol.

I myself love their sweaters and button ups though. They shyt quality as hell.

Snapple Fact: Lacoste a tennis player made the first Polo shirt


No, I mean perfume, I'm a chick hun lol.

are you asking specifically about polo by ralph laruen( whole brand)? the actual polo shirts by ralph? or polo shirts in general?

answer to all of that is nah

It says Ralph Lauren Polo in the title brother not to sound like an ass. Almost all other Polo is kinda whack unless it's Lacoste.

No, I mean perfume, I'm a chick hun lol.

Oh word, nice :ohhh:

My bad on the mix up :patrice:
