That's fire, but I personally shy away for those military insignias, because Ralphy is sometimes TOO on the nose. I was once wearing a Ralphy Navy themed t-shirt similar to the above. I walked into a room, and two OG looking brothers were sitting there. They looked at my insignia, then looked at each other, and one said to the other "Damn man, he outranks even YOU." I realized I really don't know what I am wearing on my chest, and I felt kinda "stolen valor-y", even though I was just trying to rock Lo. So now, anything like those sleeve chevrons and that chest patch is a no-go for me, personally. Shirt is tuff, nonetheless.

Yep I had an old timer approach me about stolen valor when I was wearing a costal patrol jacket lol. I tried explaining I wasn’t coast guard and it was a Ralph Lauren jacket but he wasn’t pleased.
 
It sucks too cause usually those Ralph military inspired jawns are built tough with solid details. That said it’s usually not too hard to find blank versions given that most of menswear these days has some ties back to early military apparel.

Looking forward to Fall ‘26 items hitting the site soon, already spotted this cap that was featured in the runway show last year.

I had a denim & supply shirt just like this few years ago... I was living in Japan at the time and got it from a Ralph Lauren store in Tokyo.. this one doesnt have the name tag like the previous one did... I gotta find that shirt... this one seems to have more logos and all that extra stuff.. and the other shirt was slightly darker than this one... is this new?
 
New Orleans polo outlet is solid… picked a few items up.
Jacket was dope but skipped it

I definitely get it, and respect it…

But F that! Salute me, or stare at me with dishonor and keep it moving lol 🤷🏾‍♂️

Oh nah, trust me I don’t care, at all. Unless I’m wearing an actual uniform I don’t wanna hear nothing about stolen valor lol. Something similar I picked up about 10 years ago.

Got lucky and stumbled across this on macys last act for $27 a couple weeks ago.

It's also kinda awkward going out with the family with too many graphics and patches all over you.
Yeah some stuff like K Swiss, CP-92/93, hi tech, and stuff with less logos or graphics can work but some stuff your right you’d look pretty goofy if your out on a family day.

Sick, no brainer at that price IMO. I definitely prefer the green over the navy - for some reason I thought green was exclusive to dillards. Don’t really love how much they’re leaning on snapbacks recently though. Only copped the Ralph’s garage one and really don’t like the shape either.
