L.A. STORY
I was at Bloomingdale's today. The first one to arrive, no line whatsoever. They had the same design as Macys (stars & stripes/sailboat).
I was underwhelmed at the poor quality of the polo, which is what I wanted. Tissue thin, Old Navy quality for $225? Fail.
The XL fit snug like custom fit, even though this whole collection was advertised as Classic Fit. I asked for XXL. Well , RL only produced S-XL.I PASSED.
I thought about the shorts for a minute but at $195 no way. When i left 30 minutes later, still no one had shown up.
I had a raffle ticket to the RL store, so I arrived and there were only 3 people in the store! Three Indian tourists were getting custom polos made. No one was shopping for CP-93 at all!
I tried on the mashup polo and it fit snug like custom fit too even though it was advertised as classic fit. The manager said "Everyone who tried it on says the same thing. Too snug".
The manager said that it was busy from 8:00am -12:00 but it slowed down after that. I arrived at 2:00. They were supposed to let the public shop at 6:00pm. They opened the store to the public at 2:00!
When I saw them cross my name off of the raffle list , A LOT people did not show up.
Anyway, I bought Rivera and Sailboat socks, got some stickers, the shopping bag, and left. Macys at the same mall had the stars/stripes. No line when they opened at 9:00am.
But don't feel bad for me: I got the pieces I really wanted; the CP 93 tote and the striped jacket. All of the socks. The yellow CP93 tee. The POLO USA polo. The lifesaver polo. I'm good.
I don't know about your city but this collection was sitting at a lot of stores today. After all, we had 6 spots to shop in L.A. today. I think people were turned off by the prices or they thought the collection was trash. I salute the company for making it widely available this time. I think they overestimated the demand , at least in my city. I'm sure someone in a smaller city would disagree. I'm tired of this collection: BRING ON HI TECH ALREADY.
RL Beverly Center gave out 380 raffle tickets. Less than half of those did not show up. There were no lines at any of the 6 spots in L.A. Except for the faithful Lo heads, I believe that the prices turned people off. I agree that if you really wanted this, it was easy breezy.
Yes, we are spoiled by Ralph Lauren himself. Ralph can cram all of the graphics that he possibly can on jackets, shirts, shorts, and hats, but the graphics will never cover up the huge drop in quality that RL is using to maximize their returns. Most of us are used to a certain level of quality, which is why you see so many that are no willing to pay $225 for polos have half the quality of an $85 polo.
But that is the reality of just things in life cars, clothing, food, etc nothing is ever going to be quality corporations are always about greed and higher profits at the expense of their customers base. Even homes are made like crap these days. The hype is already on his clothing line and whatever didn't sell yesterday will be on his website again for the vultures to feast on. I bought a few pieces from this drop but it's going st8 to storage. I'm good rockin some traditional ol school horsemen polos from the outlets this summer
