**The Official Ralph Lauren Polo Thread**

i been told ya'll about what Ralph did with Rugby and basically assimilated it into the blue label line. The tag label change was also done to resemble the Rugby tag label.

i quit based on this BS hahaha.
 
lmao @ RL closing down Rugby but putting up the same products with a different label and adding $100 to the msrp.
Price hike is insane, but I do like the two rugby jerseys that are available. I guess RL are using box and the tagging to sell people on spending polo prices for ruby brand.

im on a break, but the new stuff is really not for me anymore. i do end up trying to get any of the newly released statement items that appeals to me but overall i'm done with buying new collections aka Ralph Rugby haha.
 
i've seen the new black bomber. its nice, fitted like everything else nowadays. the leather is not $700 nice though. i'd get it at $200.

okay, makes sense.

This is the case with lots of the newer items. Don't get me wrong, there are still a handful of good items, but overall quality is on the decline since Fall 14'. The tweed is paper thin these days, and the leather grade is lower. For Fall 15' RL has cut back on the materials very heavily. You'll be seeing lots of "hybrid" items where only one side of the piece is a high quality material and the other side is nylon, poly, or woolblend. There are sweaters, jackets,and gloves like this in the Fall 15' collections.

It seems that allll items eventually hit some sort of discount. I know Ralph has to see this so the price hike of some things makes no sense. But jus play the waiting game i guess...

Yep, basically no one pays full price for RL. It comes out and everyone waits until it hits that sweet spot between 55-70% off to buy just before your size sells out.
 
I can't see the black varsity being any better than the blue one that dropped during the first Polo Rugby season and that one had stuff on the back and I believe was 600? And 200 for rugbys now? Even Kush can't make these prices right.
 
Had the yellow finally got the black for a steal.

I noticed the drop in quality since the new blue tags rolled out. One thing that has gotten better is the "slim fit" option now labeled and readily available. Custom fit was/is a weird cut.
 
Fort Tejon has an enormous amount of the Indian head jacket.... I went out there to get it, but it is too hip hopish.... feels like a old school Avirex jacket. Lol. Nice if thats the look you're going for.

The whole university prep, varsity/athletic, and even the skulls were around before rugby though, and all throughout its run. Why should they do anything different now? Only makes sense for them to increase the output of that style in the absence of Rugby. They'd be leaving money on the table. It was never about giving up on that particular lifestyle, it was more about having too many labels under one roof. This stuff is much better in terms of quality than much of the late rugby, just lacks originality or effort. But this is ralph we're talking about.

This is exactly why the price hike recently. The very high end, expensive quality stuff is produced and distributed with full priced sales to the wealthy in mind. Just about everything else is produced, priced and distributed with reductions in mind.

I can't see the black varsity being any better than the blue one that dropped during the first Polo Rugby season and that one had stuff on the back and I believe was 600? And 200 for rugbys now? Even Kush can't make these prices right.

That was canvas and extremely thin leather. I don't think I've ever seen such thin leather, didn't know it existed. This year it's wool and at least what appears to be regulation leather. Both were overpriced so...

Not the best condition but can someone give a legit check on this? Thanks in advance!

You're right. Thanks for refreshing my memory. Now I remember why I didn't end up buying that one.
 
ontario mills was a hassle to use the 50% off. Some old ladies at the register said something about needing to surrender the coupon or something. Stood at the register for over 10 mins but when it was all said and done supervisor gave the ok.
