<p>well i'm not interested in the lifestyle. and i like "fake prep." looks a lot better if you ask me :]</p>
<p>There is no comparison to real prep like Ralph Lauren to the soft porn sleezy Abercombie.</p>
<p>You're right! Polo sizes are horrible. I dare not buy their clothes online. They're sixes are way too small for the size labels they attach. I wonder why they do that.</p>
<p>Lacoste does not operate outlet stores. They destroy all "factory seconds." At the end of this month I'm going to hit up the Polo RL, Banana Republic, and Diesel outlet stores. :D</p>

To me it looks like Lacoste meets Baby Gap or something like that.

<p>lol.</p>
<p>I only like Vineyard Vine's polo's. Their flip flops look okay.</p>
<p>I went to a Polo RL in Japan, and their polo's are $120 USD. They were so expensive compared to our's. I only bought one for my dad and a $25 t-shirt for me.</p>
<p>^ most of these brands ( RL, lacoste, etc) are extremely expensive outside of the US. Lacoste and Rl will not go for less than 100-110 in my country.</p>
<p>i cant imagine having to pay that much for a polo, that sucks! i wear polos year round, so even though they cost 60ish a piece, its worth it. polos are classic, never will go out of style, and knit ones last years. My favorite brand is probably vineyard vines (they fit me best) but I like rl too. Lacoste is a grat brand but their polos are more expensive, so I rarely buy them.</p>
<p>I don't wear Lacoste anymore since someone told me gangsters wear it.</p>
<p>I'm stickin' with RL, BB, VV, and J. Crew.</p>
<p>I'm an A&F guy</p>
<p>three cheers for A&F bags</p>
<p>Eww.</p>
<p>A and F is okay, althought it's mostly wanna be.</p>
<p>I only have a few polo's from there. That's all.</p>
<p>lacoste has outlet stores...</p>
<p>I stick to RL and lacoste. I don't really like J Crew and there are no stores that sell Vineyard vines in my country, so must of my other clothes I have to buy when I go to the states.</p>
<p>I just purchased 2 RL custom fit polos. What do i do about the massive cape these things have on the backside of the polo. Did any of you guys hem it? Will it look alright if I hem the major cape-like thing in the back?</p>
<p>Hem it? Are you serious? That's one of the defining characteristics - if you hem it, it's going to look FAKE.</p>
<p>I am serious. It is one of the goofiest looking things I have ever seen. I only bought it because I love the fit.</p>
<p>hahahaha...if you feel uncomfortable with it, hem it! who cares if its defining, or whatever, its all about how you feel.</p>
<p>Why the long back hem on a polo shirt?</p>
<p>We here at Polo believe in authenticity in clothing—a principle on which Ralph Lauren began business. And when it comes to the polo, the uneven vented hem is a detail that can be traced back in history to the turn of the last century when it was required equipment. Whether you were atop a pony or on the tennis court, the uneven vented hem, often called a tennis tail, served to keep the shirt tucked in as you bent at the waist for continued coverage of things that shouldn’t be uncovered in public. It’s a touch that’s no less relevant or useful today when, for example, a polo-clad man bends over a desk or a bar or a ball on the golf course. But even if you don’t tuck, there’s something sharp about that uneven vented hem. Instead of a shirt that cuts you sharply across the middle, the longer back hem tends to create the illusion of height on the wearer. Finally, we’d just like to note that such an authentic detail is something you won’t find on most other designer polos and one reason we think the Ralph Lauren polo shirt is the best on the market.</p>
<p>RL is stupid to keep these shirts like that. The majority of people wear them with jeans.</p>
