I wonder if Macy's will get the cheaper variant again this year, like they did last go around
I believe the Macy's version was $225 and the one on the RL website was $298
I don't know how they can make this bear sweater any cheaper.

Exactly. Just don't do it.
The idea of clothes is that they are supposed to say something about you. Think long and hard about what wearing that would say about you, and then consider if you want to wear it.
But, that's the opposite of what JB is doing. JB had become officiial bird wear. Exclusivity this and that, you can't spit on the street without hitting a pair of Jordans being worn by somebody who works part time at Subway. That's what RL is trying to avoid. JB is not in the "designer" or "luxury" sneaker market at all.
Navy on navy is not doing it.
So, you watermark all your pics, but don't give credit when you take somebody else's? For the record, those catalog photos are ridiculously hard to come by. IMO, Jon shouldn't have even posted them on the internet, but that's not my decision to make.

Raise prices lower quality, check. limited availabilty of certain models, check . I also recall last year or the year before JB stating their retro's would no longer be going to outlets and closing a lot of mom and pop accounts because their stores didn't measure up to the standard of where JB wanted it's product. JB may not be a luxury brand but I'd consider it a designer brand all day errday. JB made an attempt at luxury with the 400 shine but you see where that went.

Their were many directions RL could of went with the bear sweater, it's pretty obvious due to the success of last yr bear sweater they decide to capitalize on it again this yr with another. Because before last yr the last bear was in 2001 (not considering outlet bear sweater). This is great for those that may be just starting a collection with last yrs bear.
But out of all the bears they could've went with, this is the WORST option. Last yr we saw them reintroduce many bears mostly on Polo's shirts, hoodies and hats (number #2 bear, RL2000, stand up flag and Martini bear). They could've simply did the western bear, since it was a potential option a couple yr back. Or if your pick out the lot of bear from last yr, the Martini in crew neck would've been perfect for the holidays.
To make it simple RL just have a voting poll again, because I'm certain this bear would not have won, if there were other options.
Here's were my vote would've went, since it's never been done before as a knit sweater

Some new recent pickups, nothing crazy

...and this why quality will not be a priority when it comes to items like this, because RL knows that buyers will purchase anything that reminds them of the glory days of polo.
Middy, the reason they did the USA bear this year is exactly what you said, to capitalize. RL saves by using cotton instead of wool, and its cheaper to sew an outline of a sweater instead of stitching a different color sweater for the bear. Last year's was limited, so those that missed will be buying this one. It all equals profits.

ASAP Ferg compares Ralphie to Elijah Muhammad... 
he choice of person reference is awful...
Ralphie is more like Steve Jobs, a man that made his brand into damn near a religion and lifestyle...

Hate the oversized pony :x
And tbh, at this point,I prefer the polos and oxfords sans pony.
Besides, oversized pony plus sleeve number plus crest
. Overkill imo.

Actually Captain Conclusion I got them from here http://bobbysays.tumblr.com/ and he did not list the credit so how am supposed to know it's from your mans and them.
I had never heard of dude till Nunz posted about him.
Not to mention it's a catalog photo ya'll need to tone it down over a catalog pic. I can understand defending your homie or somebodies collection being claimed by somebody else but posting pics that are already on the internet for people to see and enjoy is really not that serious. There's rules to the game and all but I thought this thread was about sharing all things Ralph related we enjoy and feel others might. I was racking Lo when a lot of ya'll were wearing Cross Colors & PNB so peace and love but I ain't trying to hear too much BS over a damn tumblr pick. On that note back to our to our regularly scheduled Logram. It's all good.
