I never knew they had stores. Just seen this brand in TJ Maxx and Marshalls

[sooperhooper]

It's crazy how hard nautica fell off. I think it could still be worn with no ridicule. I had some nice nautica jackets back in the day. A few years ago I was ALL about polo, now that it's become over saturated, I find myself hesitant to even wear something with the polo logo. I'm not big on wearing something that everyone has. Polo is faaaar too widespread nowadays.

I wonder if hilfiger is still doing numbers. That Oprah rumor murked his hype hardbody.

Brands really shouldn't matter as much as they do, it's really just a status thing. Not just clothes, cars also. I guarantee most of you cats wouldn't be caught dead in a kia optima.

I don't know why, but

Hilfiger > Ralph Lauren

I always prefer the flag to the horseman, the H to the big pony, etc. I wear both, but I wear Hilfiger just a little bit more

Lands'end and LEC >

The quality is better than RL, no tacky brandings and it's always on sale.

 

[powerballin]

Yeah Nautica fell off. They was hotter than Polo in the Dmv at one point.

 

[lstylez23]

i still rock with a FEW nautica pieces...

eddie bauer be holding some heat too. i kinda feel you w/ the branding cuz sometimes its od, but never on quality. imo RL has some of the better quality made stuff outside of specialists in their field ie pendelton for flannel or horween for leather.

on the other hand i have had problems w/ lands end w/ seams ripping, collars and cuffs fraying, stretched collars etc. but that is never really a problem because they have that lifetime guarantee and like you said is always on sale. they do have the best customer service ever for a clothing company tho.

Nautica and Izod polos and buttondowns on the clearance rack at macy for $15 is always a good look.. Izod made a hella of a comeback imo and quality is good..

what's the story

im pretty sure its still owned by ralphie, they just took the by ralph lauren part off the name, made it a khol's house brand and licensed the making of the clothes to someone else. so in effect its no longer a RL division, but its own, its still listed on the RL wiki tho. at least that is how i understand it.

back in the day they used some of the same styles, materials, designs and patterns. they had a similar feel/quality so chaps were esentially rebranded polo clothes. but now they have their own designs, materials etc and have almost no relation to polo.

Late. Very very late.

Sorry. You're right. I read online that because of the decline of the brand.

Here's a better explanation.
