**The Official Ralph Lauren Polo Thread**

[supermanblue79]

All of Spring 23' has a 10%-25% Price Increase across every Ralph Lauren brand. These lighterweight cotton and linen items cost much less to make than the Fall/Winter Wool Items, but are more expensive.

Ralph is tired of the retail prices the being so low, that resellers make more ROI on the items than the Corp. does. RL is cutting out the middle men by raising prices, and bumping the prices up above what is printed right on the tags.

MSRP - Manufacturer's Suggested Resell Price

 

[Marco Polo]

Rl is the manufacturer tho (not technically) but they are the ones telling them the price to put on the tag. That’s why they fold so easy when you contact cs and let them know the tag has a different price. And selling clothes above msrp may work for a small retailer that goes unnoticed like oznico but let macys bump up the price and Ralph (or any brand) will put a stop to it.

In store they will either rip the price off or mark it up because they know they have to honor the price tag.

I think they could care less who buys the clothes as long as they sell, they make their money. I think this is more to try and elevate the brand name again.

With the Fortnite collab and now these child like graphics for the moto stuff, it’s obvious the market they are trying to target. Kinda like they tryna push the older heads out and usher in the new generation. Take off the polo sport branding and it’s looking like old navy.

Polo Sport is trash. Only thing I got from that collection recently is the cloud hoody but thats it.

The 2019 Polo Sport Outdoor Capsule is not to long ago. Some of Ralph's best work under any of his brands IMO.

Oh yaaa I forgot about that one. The poncho, the knit with the detachable pouch etc.

 

[Keep_it_on_the_Lo]

I need some fresh drawls, anyone got a factory coupon for the boy? Thanks in advance

 

[ALNotSure]

Greetings, hopefully 2023 is treating ya well. Been trying to track these garments down... been sleeping on the game lately! If by any chance you come across these pieces in an XL it would be greatly appreciated.

Peace & LOve

Damn pretty sure i saw that tee at the macys at perimeter mall…

 

[kennymeez]

Bunch of drops today via the app…….

 

[RicoSwa]

I like this one better. But 168.00 for a tee.

Damn. They was mad when I said resellers ruined the game.
Now look at these prices. 168.00 for just the tee.
Smh

Sorry but 500 for a hoodie and a tee?
I couldnt do it.

The game over. lmao
Might as well buy some Gucci.

 

[HeadlessHorseman]

That motorcycle t shirt for 168.00. Normally goes for 300.00 on eBay. Looks nice but I’m gonna wait for it to go on sale.
The yellow motorcycle hoodie looks like that Nintendo game excite bike

It is not the high cost of living that's hurting us, but rather the cost of high living.

Looking at these products, prices, and the current state of the economy got me moving like Money Mitch.

 

[jc5123]

I'll just continue copping once items hit that 70% off like I have for the last 10 years

 

[Nereyda Vuelve Por Dios]

Next to weaksauce designs, the prices on certain items has me totally removed from copping RL.

I feel For them. Its hard to maintain constant interest and fresh designs. But then to add a price tag of 350 for a measely sweater? Nah b.

Its fascinating how they move though. A real-time transparent look at the constant ebbs and flow of the fashion industry.

Exactly. I haven't purchased a Polo item in at least over a year after being very loyal since my early teens, and even before that when my mom would buy me Polo, and I'm turning 40 this year.

But like you said, I don't even miss it because nothing appeals to me anymore and they've officially priced me out. It was a nice run, but I am no longer the demographic and I am totally at peace with that.

 

[MP20500]

Been trying to track one of these Browns x Polo Bear tees down in a Large....can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

[incrediblyjealously]

It's all cyclical. There have been incredible deals on everyday wear, I've bought more cashmere, suede, leather goods and RLX from RL in the past year and less graphic items. Lot of new designs dropped in leather, suede, new variations of bombers, tons of new pant designs but this is everyday wear.

Polo Sport was always a bit wack or gaudy with the branding, it was designed to bring new people into the brand, remember the splashy Tyson Beckford campaigns. It never captured the feel of 89-04 and they have stayed consistent with that. It only made the older items more valueable

 

[sharpshooter718]

The rugby line and the denim and supply line needs to make a serious comeback for a couple seasons...

I still buy Lo , but a lot of the stuff they drop ain't hitting... Whether materials , design, fit or color choices. A lot can be disregarded with no regrets...

I'll continue picking up items sparingly cause brand loyalty is not a thing to me ... Tons of dope clothing out there to be had outside of Ralph ...

Definitely bringing out some pieces this year that needs to be worn... I've got some heat sitting DS sitting in the closet ..

 

[goledensilence]

Just turned 33 on Feb 1st... RL hit me with the birthday coupon and now I'm over here acting like I'm rich.

As far as pricing goes, I’ve bought some POWER pieces the past few years for 50% - 70% off, certain stuff won’t go that much on discount so I’ll hop on it for a 25% - 30% discount if I really really like it, also ebay has some steals here and there.

As far as designs go, the childish graphics and whack designs have always been around, it’s not a new thing, I don’t let whack items effect my emotions, I focus more on keeping an eye on things I like to hit a nice lil sale

 

[supermanblue79]

Latest pick-up.

 

[Kamara4Life]

Haven’t rocked this since pre covid I think
