We visited Ralph Lauren's soon-to-close flagship Polo store and saw why the brand is struggling

nikkas don't fukk with the Big Pony Emblem?? Gotta let MFs know I spent almost a 100 dollars for this shirt

Wasn't the big horse originally off brand, but Polo just went ahead and made the horse bigger?

A year or two ago I ordered something off the Ralph Lauren website and it didn't fit so I went to the 5th Avenue store to return it after work.
While I was waiting for the lady to process it, she asked if I wanted to buy anything else.

I asked her if anything was on sale.
She said they don't have sales.

I was like
Then again I guess if you're shopping on 5th Avenue money isn't a problem for you so who needs a sale?

That's not true, brehs have moved on to brands that cost just as much if not more. "NICCAS" as you call us shouldn't be wearing any of that overpriced sh1t anyway tbh.

I feel it, yet my point is there is more to RL than Polo, which gets overlooked. Based off the fact in urban circles that people mostly rocked the polos, rugbys, jackets and long sleeved button ups and thats it.

Can't roll with you on that one brehs...RL three piece suits be havin a nikka's swag on god like levels out here.

Their pea coats and mock trenches still fly. Their suits are still fly. Ralph Lauren is classic style.

Folks just overdid the brand and US Polo Assoc. has made many feel the brand is not top notch anymore but it's still some of the best quality clothing on the market.

I still cop Polo but only when it's sale

Last year I got a 300 dollar RL peacoat for 70 lmfao that shyt felt good as fukk, felt like I won lmao

That lady was a a dumb bytch.

Ralph Lauren has sales all the time. I have RL shyt I have'nt even worn yet that is, as others have point out, timeless pieces.

And I got them...OFF THE RALPH LAUREN SITE

If it's something you really really want you cop it then and there (Treat Yo Self 2017), if not you wait for the change in seasons when they will undoubtedly throw shyt up for 30 to 40% off

Then you eat

I dunno. Maybe she was lying to me.
She was on the 3rd or 4th floor.
Not as nice as the lady on the 1st floor.



I swore that elevator had like a secret level for high rollers tho.

This is my point. There is more to RL than rocking a logo.

Yet for the typical style jocker, if you cant see the logo..whats the point..

edit:my bad for spazzing. Could have been anything other than RL Polo. There's Denim & Supply, Double RL and Purple Label.

fukk spending that much on a Ralph Lauren polo when you go to express,zara, h&m and get nice looking polos for much cheaper.

Exactly!!
