00:00 Introduction
Top Ralph Lauren Picks
03:49 Sweaters & Sweater Vests
Ralph Lauren is one of the few companies that offers really an extremely wide range of knits; whether it's a cable knit or an aran sweater, maybe a fair isle, knit vest inspired style, they have cool wools, they have cool styles with Shaw collars, cardigans, and really everything under the sun.
04:26 Double RL Brand
It's not usually carried in department stores, they are usually sold at specific stores; there's a great one in New York, I think it's their flagship store. It's mostly vintage Americana inspired work wear so lots of denim, lots of more casual garments with vintage influences but their suits are also very nice.
05:04 Swimwear
They are usually in classic patterns such as checks or they have like bold stripes and it's very hard to find a tasteful classically inspired pair of swim trunks from other brands.
05:23 Overcoats
Probably the most iconic piece is the Polo overcoat which works well with their name. It's kind of a camel hair coat and you've probably have seen an ad from them. Ironically, it's not sold on their website very often anymore so the best chance to find it is vintage on eBay or other places.
05:57 Vintage Polo Items:
Today, Polo Ralph Lauren is much more commercialized. It's mostly made in Asia, however, in the 80s, things were made in the US or in Italy or in England and oftentimes, to a higher standard; the yarns and the fabrics are better so they've stood the test of time. So if you find something from the 80s or 90s that you like and it goes with your style, don't be afraid of buying it, it's good stuff. Good items in this area are corduroys or sweaters, ties, suits, or even seersucker.
06:31 Shorts
Men's shorts or Bermuda shorts are really great.but just in general, often they are vintage-inspired, they offer bolder colors than other men's brands, and they have little details such as coin pockets or just a pattern like a real Indian cotton madras.
07:01 Dress shoes:
Today, their purple label shoe line is usually made by Crockett & Jones, Edward Green or Graziano and Girling which are all high-end British makers.
07:25 Purple Label Suits & Jackets
Back in the day, they were made in England by Chester Barrry and crew and that's the suit I'm wearing here right now. It's really nice, it has a very 30s inspired style with wide lapels, it's tailored very softly so it's extremely comfortable just like a sweater and even though today, most of purple label's items are made in Italy and things have changed quite a bit, they're still at a high-quality level and I recommend them. Usually, those garments retail anywhere from $4,000-$6,000 or more. Now, I don't believe it's worth the retail price but sometimes, you can score bargains on eBay or on outlets.
08:28 Home Goods
They have anything from bed sheets to glasses to decorative items and while generally, their stuff is not of the utmost quality, it is good quality and it is a superb style.
08:57 Slacks
Especially, Polo has a range of corduroys for the winter that are unusual, many different colors, they also have great chinos.
What should you not buy from Ralph Lauren?
Polo Shirts: They are flimsy.
Dress shirts: They fit weirdly.
Anything with Big Logos: Simply obnoxious.
Activewear: Does not work!
T-shirts: Overpriced - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
How do you like this video format? More or less than www.gentlemansgazette.com/best-vintage-buys/ Would you like this to be turned into an ongoing series?
I love this format!
Give me this format or give me death!
I like this. Can you do Brooks Brothers next?
I like it!
This was an excellent format! As someone just getting into buying “adult clothes” it’s very helpful knowing what has quality/value instead of just knowing the brand.
I like this brand review idea. Would like to see Brooks Brothers.
Here’s a brand review on Brooks Brothers. Ever since Marks and Spencer’s and more when the Italians bought them, Brooks Brothers have been nothing but shitty clothes for d-bags.
is higher line for me BB than RL. Casual And Dress shirts are amazing, (included her not iron line) her chinos are pure beauty, y put double check on BB
Is hard to see something ugly from BB.
For me the best two male brands are Brooks Brothers and Charles Tyrwhitt. Or if you can pay some more Thomas Pink. Or les butget Gap for Pants and Banana Replic for Tops
José Raúl Bermejo De la Garza a lurks difficult to read but contains good info.
From my experience with BB is that the only thing I really buy from them that I enjoy are their dress shirts. Almost all my dress shirts are from BB and I wear them on a daily basis for the past 4 years and they only start showing their age about a year ago.
Yes I would also like Brooks Brothers review. Sometime at the BB outlets you can find GREAT discounted stuff- especially their socks which are at time 80% OFF!
One of the things I love about RL is that they are one of the few better men's wear companies that doesn't forget the Big & Tall market.
They didnt forget but the price tag makes me want to forget them. 🤣🤣😅
@@kenrivers9757 they have a lot of sales though yesterday I got a 2 piece purple label double breasted suit for $200 original price was 5,000.(I’m not lying)
@@Joshua-rw3rn from where?
@@Jairseph where do u think 🤣🤣
@TheEditor107 well we are not short. I’m 6’2 lol. 5’7 is a very short person next to me at 6’2 and 255.
Don't insult the Polo Bear! It's iconic! 🐻 But I agree with the other things you've mentioned. And finally someone said it: RL Swimwear is fantastic and the designs are spot on!
He lost all credibility for me when he said that
YES! THE POLO BEAR IS THE MOST ICONIC AND BEST THINGS TO OWN. as a girl, i especially like the bear sweaters line. They always make me feel super cute and preppy.
Did I really write Swearwear? That's a good one, haha. You guessed it right, swimwear. The polo bear is definitely the best RL Design ever. I love how versatile he is. Of course you can wear him in a preppy way, but if you like you can rock the bear with a street hiphop vibe like a rapstar! 🐻
@@lindatran9536 Rock the bear, not the beat... Autocorrect... 🙄
I stopped caring when he recommended buying double rl. It's a brand for old people wear.
In the late 90s, when I was doing my first internship in finance in NYC, I went to a department store and bought my first two suits, on deep sale. They happened to be Polo RL suits. Great suits! One charcoal solid and another pinstripe navy. I wore them to every interview and business meeting for internships and first job interviews and a few years later. Then, I decided I could afford nicer suits and gave up those to Goodwill and got some department brand suits. What a mistake! Polo suits were real, fully canvased, good wool construction made in the USA. The department store brands in the 2000s were all China and fused.
ralph lauren is a brand that stood the test of time, even tho you dont like bears and the more urban stuff, thats the stuff i collect, LO LIFE.
LO life fr Players Only Live Once
Lo all day!
You a real LoLife or you faking? What does the 2 L’s up stand for? Who started the LoLife family? What is the street they started on???
Low life till I die
@@kevincrawf5996 PEACE! Im a Lo Life from Russia. 2 L's stands for Love and Loyalty, it all started on St John and Utica, there're a lot of OG Lo's but it all got started by Thirstin Howl and Rack Lo

I always love your elegant criticism. It's not overly sarcastic or snarky but simply to the point and honest. It's just critical enough and used sparingly enough to have me laughing out loud.
do a video on how to style Air Jordans, that would be hilarious!
Might actually be useful for someone coming from a hip hop culture. Although I would pay to see Gentlemen's Gazette guys do an M.J. launch from the free-throw line dunk.
Should’ve done that for an April fool’s joke
April fools idea ;)
This is funny to me because I can relate. A man has to have confidence in himself in whatever he wears, I change day to day, one day I'm in a suit and shoes to the next in sweatpants and sneakers. But unless I'm in jeans, a T and work boots people can't handle it. It's to dressed up for them...
no doubt the best thing a man can wear is confidence.
Brand👏🏻Review👏🏻
I grew up hating Ralph Lauren. I saw it as “old people clothing” and wanted to wear more trendy young brands like hollister and American eagle. Then I found the purple label and fell in love with it. I’ve been reading about Ralph Lauren and I found he didn’t even get interested in the fashion business until he was in his 30s. And boy oh boy if it were possible, I’d love to make my own fashion line or brand. I have so many ideas.
Go for it
Purple Label is my jam. It flies under the radar but there’s something about the designs and cuts that stands above.
Go for it!
one door leads to others.
Translation: anything that rappers wear, don’t buy.
Right
but they also wear Ralph Lauren...
Correct !!!!!
Complain Or Gain i believe johnnyb was referring to specific garments rather than the brand as a whole
All those designs he mention at the end of big logos n brands nobody ever bought that but hip hop n he knows that u know but yall behide a computer screen trolling
Definitely disagree about the flag and bear items as they are some of the most iconic pieces of the brand
But they're too modern
Ja you right this dude doesn't know nothing.
Jason Bhatnagar 💯 I love those pieces
I got a polo bear sweater for my bday Ian’s I love it he’s wearing this tuxedo and I thought it was funny and cool
I don’t like the polo shirt with big American flag but the bear sweatshirt actually doesn’t look bad for me. Maybe it would be nice to combine it with shirt and tweed jacket. Little bit ivy style look I would say :-).
What to buy from
1. Sweater and sweater vest
2. Double RL brand
3. Swimwear
4. overcoat
5. Vintage polo items
6. Shorts
7. Dress shoe
8. Purple label suits and jacket
9. Home goods
10. Slacks
Let's not forget the Oxford shirt because ralph lauren really makes great oxford shirts
as someone who wears ralph lauren a lot their hoodies are one thing that is definitely worth it. The fit is always perfect and there are very comfortable with the neck area not restricted unlike most hoodies
Ralph makes some of my favorite hoodies too.
those are the best, super comfy and cozy for the winter months
I just bought a Ralph Lauren purple label suit from a thrift store for $7.99. I'll have to put 200 into it for tailoring but it fits in the important areas. I almost passed it over because I thought Ralph Lauren was overrated but I'm already in love with this suit. One thing I do love of theirs is those children's clothes. My servicen dog is hairless and the he has a number of Ralph Lauren shirts that look nice under his service gear that keeps him warm but looks nice with me wearing a suit
In Marvin Traub's auto-bio, I think I remember him recounting the episode when he was originally going to carry RL ties, but wanted the Bloomingdale's label added. Ralph passed, came back a year later, and got his own shop. The power of patience + the occasional NO. Your mentions are, as always, spot on. I so agee. I have a lot of Ralph, always reliable and stylish. The (rare) Polo silk cable-knit sweaters are a personal fav. Thanks for another great vid.
I'm going to disagree about the polo shirts. While I will avoid the giant logos and make sure I buy discounted I find them the best quality I have found (they seem to last a long time and not go tatty like some) , and sometimes can get an outstandingly patterned design as well as the classic plain colours. I've bought cheaper polo's that just didn't seem quite right and now am probably going to start getting more RLP polo's. (I usually pay about 40 English Pounds)
Yeah in the US they are about $100 per polo (retail). At that price they aren't worth it, especially when they're all made in China sadly.
@@AlTheEngineer I have a classic polo that is 16 years old and still in great shape. 100 dollars for 16 years and going is a good return in my opinion, versus some of the cheaper polos I have tried that have only lasted a few years before they look worn out. Now I'm gonna have to check it's origin when I get home.
@@UnumDeum I will have to agree with you. My polo shirts are all over 10 years old and they're perfect. But I didn't pay $100 each for them. I bought them from Ralph Lauren at 50% off - and that's really worth it IMHO! Mine are all made in Vietnam.
@AlTheEngineer I just checked the label on mine and it states it was produced in the Northern Mariana Islands (USA). Makes me wonder about the quality of the newer Polos if they are produced in China. Next time I am in the store, I will try to remember to check a tag on a new one and update.
Love this format. With all its sub-brands, RL lends itself well to this style review. Other similar broad brands like Armani, Brooks Brothers, and Zegna would be great as well.
The Rugby Ralph Lauren sub brand had some nice pieces
I agree almost entirely, I've never liked RL Polo shirts but I recently bought one of their soft-touch slim fit polos at a discount and I love it! The cotton is so nice and breathable even in warm weather and it feels so light and good when wearing it. Also, the multi-colored pony makes it less tacky and more sophisticated in my opinion. You might wanna take a look at them.
I buy RL t-shirts, sweaters, polos and shorts. One of the best quality clothing I have worn in my life. We don't have that many high quality brands in online stores here in Sweden. Mostly I get RL, Gant, L&S, Lacoste, Fred Perry. I've tried Tiger of Sweden, Armani & many other brands that don't meet the quality of RL.
@@Black-Circle I find the polo and shorts from them very nice and high quality. I own a few gant and a few RL shorts and even chinos. The both feel very similar, although RL is a tad bit smoother and more comfortable.
Price doesn't always equal quality. I'm super obsessed with my clothes and yet. I have machine-washed HM polo shirts, they haven't moved and cost 12 euros each. On the other hand I have an RL that I paid 100 euros in store, I washed it once at 30 degrees, it shrunk by 5 cm and is therefore a little tight. There is the image of the brand that we pay for above all and all the marketing that is around.
Great work! You can't often find someone with your level of expertise give such an in-depth look at famous brands, this goes very well along with your "Is it worth it?" series.
I remember seeing a photo of Bruce Willis with a polo bear sweater and nonstop laughing because everytime I see Die Hard I think of the polo bear. 😂
You make great videos. I love your “is ir worth it?” Series and this looks really promising. Keep doing the superb job
That suit looks amazing on you Raphael! I recently bought a Black Watch OCBD from RL. Thankfully the embroidered Pony was blue and blended completely with the Black Watch pattern. RL has some incredible items (if you know what to look for) and I'm glad to hear you give the company it's due. Would love to see this type of video turned into series. Thank you!
Great video. Perhaps Hugo Boss could be the next brand to do?
Do not buy their SS uniform. Totally out of fashion.
@@jeanraspail2979 From The Camp of the Saints author himself!
Lmao in the outlet I work at, there is two bald men that look like hit man that work at Hugo Boss. Ones smaller and more slender and the other is taller and beefier.
I like Hugo Boss shirts. Very comfortable.
Jean Raspail Hugo Boss is better than every french or italian clothesmarks
Thanks again, Raphael, for an excellent overview of this iconic brand. One item you don't mention that I think Ralph Lauren does really well is the rugby shirt. Back in the 80s, my favorite brand for these was Gant, but these days RL meets and exceeds Gant's quality and at a lower price point. Great for spring/fall weather and usually of a heavy cotton twill, rugby shirts are an item not often mentioned here at GG.
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the polo dad hat. It’s probably low key one of their most essential items. Also the Harrington jacket, 90s or earlier American made cotton, is wonderful.
Great video, I loved the one about Harrington jackets too.
Great video! I agree with 95% I’m able to find “some” dress shirts that Regent Slim fit what fits me perfectly, although finding one without the polo emblem and priced fairly is difficult
I love this! it gave me ideas for father's day! thank you Raphael for this informative video as always
I have many polos with small logos and I love them. They last forever! They stay in style forever!
But I love their golf apparel. They have cottons for softer pastels, and high performance fabrics for dark or brighter colors because they won’t fade.
Great video as always. I like the fact that you also talk about the brands history in the beginning. You should do a brand review on Tommy Hilfiger, my favorite brand next to Ralph Lauren. Also, do you know the german brand Olymp? If so, what do you think about them?
Thank you Sven Raphael; this was an outstanding review and very interesting to watch. I agree totally with your analysis on what to buy and what to skip including the logo stuff. I am of the age to remember when Ralph Lauren, now age 77 started and like yourself appreciate many the many fine products they have brought to us. You have a great channel and I look forward to more videos.
Ralph Lauren is one of my favorite brands as a 14 year old kid. You're right it has been so much different than before, it's more commercially focused than before. However it still offers great quality . I am a very brand concious person but you let me realized it's cons , I mean....you're right big logos are unpleasant to see thanks for the tips , especially the ones that I should only buy from Ralph Lauren . Great review! Thanks. - Brenzo Venida
LO LIFE!
Tastes differ but those Bear pieces are iconic, especially all the "obnoxious" polo items like Snow Beach or Stadium 1992, I love em to death. I get that you're more of a classy type dudes, and thats cool, do your thing fam, dope review!
2 L's UP!!!
The bear logo especially has a history this dude should know about when talking about Ralph Lauren
@@rikkidgermano9640 it can have as much history as possible doesnt make you a stylish gentleman wearing a sweater with a gigantic bear on it. cool for kids tho
Their Oxfords are the besttttt, have never bought another button up and have 5 different styles/colours that I rotate through for work. They've got the slim cut down to perfection.
Yassss
They’re nicely styled, but in my opinion, the quality isn’t what it used to be…See my remarks above…
but the polo bear is a hip hop ICON!! come on, you have to be carefree and comfortable sometimes :((
Lo-lifes come thru!
I feel personally attacked by this video.
I love polo bear for casual wear.
Remember he old head he doesn’t understand our dressing codes
stan loona!!! I’m not carefree or comfortable enough to pay $2000 for that silly bear watch.
I randomly came across this video and so your YT channel. I really appreciate how you express your opinion peacefully and honestly,...plus I agree with what you said. You have one more subscriber!
Ralph Lauren is my go to company when it comes to outerwear, they always have the styles I want and I know the quality it there, some of my RL pieces include, Toggle Duffle Coat, Black Barracuda Leather Jacket, Wax Moto Jacket.

Lvl 99 Gentleman : 👏👏Brand Review
...I love the button up shirts! Fit me great. Get them at the outlet, and with the added 40% off, I pick them up for$35-45. Nice.
Great video! I’d like to see more of the format. About Ralph Lauren itself, I tend to get my chinos from them, though I might be able to find better elsewhere. So far, they fit me well and the colours are great. In my opinion, their accessories are always worth a look, particularly in the neckwear department.
Furthermore, I’m astonished at the deal you made with that suit!
Thorough video with excellent insights. So glad I follow your channel.
WOW avoid the accessories? I love the messenger bag for my laptop, the shaking kit bag and the duffle bags!!! This was very informational.
Disagree on the shoes. As they outsource production to quality shoe makers, I'd much rather buy from them directly without the RL brand markup.
True, but as he says throughout the video, it's almost never worth paying full price for Ralph Lauren. The quality is still there so if you can find their shoes at a discount then it might be worth it
I own a pair of tan fullgrain leather Polo Ralph Lauren single monk strap shoes with a Blake stitched leather sole with hidden channel stitching... they’re really nice... I prefer quality over a “brand” (For Example, I love Allen Edmonds shoes even though the general public usually has no idea who they are) but one thing I DO enjoy when I wear them is the recognizable “POLO” logo on the arch of the sole, and in gold inlay on the heel of the insole. There is a bit of a feel of prestige wearing them. People know Polo.
Well, RL products are sometimes heavily discounted so you can get them for a lower price than from the manufacturer
@@CobblerBob well said Ralph Lauren looks great on me tees,polo buttons ups, shirts,d fabric is great qualitydifferent sizing especially d custom and slimfit I hav polos as way back as 10 years and they still look new I also hav 2 ankle height boots wit d strap coming across and buckling ah vintage brown as I call it and a black hav DEM more than 5 years now! I no how to take care of my clothes and I don't abuse DEM handed down some to my son and told him it's how u care your clothes Ralph Lauren casual clothing looks great on me RL FOREVER🖒
I remember watching the Beatles preforming twist and shout video and every since the skinny tie has stuck with me.
Perfect video and I'm surprised these RL Best to Buy videos aren't all over TH-cam. Thank you for the content!
Personally I only buy RL when its -70%, the quality of their main line products isnt worth more than that.
Tom Wessel even then it is over priced rubbish
You can get RL at -70% ? How ?
It’s worth full price in my opinion
@@Andy-ew1wh buy now.
Saw this video, instant sub. Just a very clear explanation of all aspects of this brand. Keep up the good work.
And I also like your vintage/ second hand recommendations, not everyone has 3000 to spare on a suit ;-)
I can attest to the quality of both Ralph Lauren crystalware and oilcloth fabric items. I have had great experiences with their overwear on the whole; be it hoodies, sweaters, raincoats etc. The Polo fragrance lineup is varied in style and uses quality ingredients as they do not smell cheap and the scents are (mostly) long-lasting. Overall, I do think RL has maintained a customer-first quality approach to their items. I have been a customer of theirs since the 80s for reference.
I dont own too much RL...mostly wear Calvin Klein but this is a great guide
Noted. It is already hard to find brands that fit me at 6’8 and so far Ralph Lauren’s oxford shirts have been great. I will continue to wait for a sale on these items.
Great format. With the prevalence of outlet stores carrying lower quality lines made specifically for them, videos like this help to wade through all the different micro-brands beneath the umbrella of the major name.
One of my favorite pair of shoes are a pair of Polo wingtip casuals that are light beige suede and a blue jean like material. Very cool looking.
Dear Sven,
Could you please do a brand review for Brooks Brothers
The best thing about Ralph Lauren brands are? EVERYTHING!!!!
Word!
I think the Ralph Lauren cable knit sweater is great, as you can wear it with a patterned shirt under, white or beige well-tailores trousers, and brown loafers, with a cartier tank watch on the wrist, for a simple, yet elegant and timeless look.
Yet another great video that is very informative as well as pragmatic. Thank you.
The polo shirts and t shirts are top sellers, it is what excelled the brand.
I purchased a Polo Ralph Lauren sports jacket in impeccable condition at the thrift store for $2😊
Seems to be very original them
Did you Legit check it
Once you own a jacket and/or coat from Purple Label, you never want to touch their Polo line again. Amazing materials, great fit and a classic look which earns you lots of compliments.
actually love the RL Polo colored crew socks, sold as an individual pair, not in packs or bundles. Great hybrid of a soft cotton athletic sock meets plain dress sock. Solid construction, perfect thickness with right amount of cuff elastic. Amazing color selection from conservative to crazy, and wonderful contrasting horse logo that actually helps me keep left and right socks paired together after washing. But like all RL stuff, a bit pricey at $12/pair... like to wait for the sale and then scoop them up.
Famous comic artist Chris-chan is one of the most well known Ralph Lauren wearers.
New subscriber. Thanks for the upload...I love RL and mostly wear the clothes for work and the green polo cologne is my favorite go to. I have tried their shoes but don't care for them.
I love their green cologne, have a look at vintage RL ties. They're amazing.
I wear the Green Polo cologne as well, but unfortunately, they changed their formulation some years ago…IMO, it’s not quite as appealing…For women, the ‘Laurin’ brand was great as well, but it’s no longer available…I’m not sure why companies often mess with a good thing…Probably driven by the bottom line!
Splendid video as always. Thank you for the advice.
I have to say that the bold colored T-Shirts are probably the best fitting ones around. They are available in a lot of different colors and shapes. Material is very good and I personally like the small logo on them. Whenever there's a sale you can catch them for US$ 25. I recommend them.
Please do SUITSUPPLY review/guide. I own 2 suitsupply items, i like their modern slim fit and bold classic reinovation, but i still feel they are overpriced.
An Sung overpriced? Their suits are among the best price to quality you will find!
@@arvid575 i also buy blazers from bonobos and brookbrothers, their retail are the same, but the latter two does discount, which makes the deal much better.
@@aaronsung6208 suitsupply still most worth every penny OTR suit compare to zara and hugo boss because its full canvas
@Jarmel Jones i found funny how some people pretend to be rich while being a fat ass nerd behind key board.
@@baskorohpradono7171 suit supply isn't comparable to Zara.
Can you maybe do Tommy Hilfiger? love the reviews.
Love Hilfiger
Ew
Love Tommy Hilfiger, have almost 1000€ worth of their clothing and I'm only 16
No Hilfiger here...lol
My go to brand for t-shirts lol
I bought a couple t-shirts recently second hand. They were £18 each and are nice quality. I’m not a huge fan of the the logo but it isn’t super large or obnoxious. I’m pretty pleased I hope they will last a while.
I paused this video and Googled ‘Ralph Lauren Purple Label’. I clicked a link to Mr. Porter and viewed a few of their offerings. One item that caught my eye was a cable-knit cashmere jumper in navy. It is priced at £975. I then look at the Johnstons of Elgin website, finding the exact same cable-knit style, in 4 ply, for £325. Nobody is telling me that the quality of the cashmere or the craftsmanship of the Johnstons of Elgin jumper is any less than the jumper from Ralph Lauren. If anything, it would be superior. Yet it is three times the price. Just think, you could buy three exquisite knitwear pieces for the same money that you would pay for one item from Ralph Lauren ‘Purple Label’.
Avoid their shirts, I fully agree!
I recommend to scrutinize Morris and Oscar Jacobson from Sweden.
Wow brands , personally I do love Ralph Lauren for my casual wear it dits well and the quality is there for the price. For any than other than casual I tend to stay away from them( purple label is an exception)
I've never bought any of Ralph Lauren's high-end merchandise but I really like their casual button up shirts, they fit me perfectly off the rack. I also really like their socks.
On the other hand, I've found their slacks wear out too quickly and as do their casual shoes (I've never bought dress shoes from them).
Hi there, I just purchased some RLX golf polo shirts from a boutique in Monte Carlo today. Ralph Lauren is back into golf fashion nowdays and Justin Thomas is one of his golf ambassadors.
Just wanted to clarify. The Ralph Lauren line Double RL is primarily a Western Line, which is quite obvious.
That Ralph Lauren Purple Label pinstripe double-breasted suit is killer!
Dude anything purple label is fire. Most of it made in Italy with quality materials. I love the RRL line.
Absolutely agreed, I wouldn't be so generous to pay 50 - 80 dollar range for a piece of short Polo T-shirt when you could find the counterfeit being made in China sold for about 10-20 dollar. Surprisingly, the quality and the look of these T's are equally as good as the original and genuine ones.
Love the video. I hope you continue this little series with other brands like Brooks Brothers and even cheaper brands like Zara
Thanks for the info! Big fans of Ralph Lauren but it has gotten to the point that I don’t know which of his items are worth the investment or not.
I can’t find that green cricket Ralph Lauren sweater anywhere! Is it discontinued?
Double RL is a really cool sub-brand and I hope to one day have some in my collection. Especially their southwestern inspired stuff.
Fantastic idea! We wait more what to buy and not videos, well done Sven.
Nobody makes the best in polo shirts than Ralph Lauren, hands down. If you can find great discounts, you’re good to go! We used to have an Alan’s store in my area that specialized in men’s Ralph Lauren clothes, where I bought my very first polo 👕 shirt when I was a teen.
Ye, I never pay full price of 110 bucks. I always get them at thrift stores or Ross/Marshall's in great or new condition at half price or less.
love ralph lauren, thanks for the tips
These videos are so satisfying to watch, and actually inspires me to dress to impress ;)
Hi! great videos as always, would you recommend a Polo RL knit jacket which is 40% cotton 60% Polyester in the shell ? not full price but still, I'm not sure if the material is right !?
Ralph Lauren Polo shirts are definitely the most iconic and popular items.
Not for everyone though. I absolutely hate the conformist, preppy, boring image the polos give off.
@@pascalecnto68 it depends on d individual style and wat he looks great in and confidence , wat looks good on you may not look good on me dats wats it's about in fashion so u hav a great point🖒
Lauren goes on about the importance of dreaming and using that dream to influence your work!💱💼
The Presantator Is Wrong On 9:35.
Ralph Lauren Makes Dreams For People So Any one Can Find His Dreams And Teast In RL Clothes.
Great brand review. I hope you keep up this concept!
i used to work at a golf club, and polo was one of our sponsors... i remember one of the members from the club asked the polo rep who happened to be there which shirt did leo dicaprio wear in the iconic boat scene in "wolf of wall street". the guy responded, well it could be 1 of 18 shirts. 18 SHIRTS! meaning polo has 18 different types of plain white polos. crazy.... btw, their RLX (i have a bunch from working there) was amazing. cant believe they got rid of it. i hope not
EDIT: they still exist. RLX is alive baby
Ralph Lauren..my favorite brand.
Me too
Team Polo by Ralph Lauren
Kind of opened my eyes better, nice video 💪
I wear Boys Ralph Lauren XL 18-20, amazing quality and it fits me better then Mens small.
This was very helpful thank you
I only wear polo Shirts, caps and socks from Ralph Lauren.
187erz lx sometimes I wear you, but that’s a story for another day.
As an employee at Ralph Lauren, a lot of the stuff you said not to buy is our best selling stuff. The American flag merch, bear stuff, and t-shirts fly off the shelves. But those vintage colors often go to final markdown before they leave the store. Regardless, this video gave me some good ideas on what to buy with my discount!
What’s your discount? 40% off ?
@@littlebill3419 50% online and full line, 40% off markdown and 60% off wardrobe (stuff we can wear to work)
Aaron Schwartz nice !
yeah maybe most of the people choose this stuff but most peope are also not stylish
@@rudiausbuddeln Style is subjective. Don’t hate on something you can’t pull off
This brand review idea is just EXCELLENT! Great video.
Great info. Great research.
