Are Ralph Lauren Polos Worth It? Iconic Preppy Shirt Review

I have about dozen that are 25-30 years old. No buttons have fallen off, no stitching has unraveled, some fading in the darker colors, as is to be expected. They are undoubtedly the highest quality clothing purchase I've ever made. The majority of them were Polo Outlet Store purchases, too.

They last an extremely long time. In my experience, I’ve worn second hand purchases of these polos everywhere doing just about everything and they are very durable.

I'm regularly impressed by the construction, quality, and longevity of my long-sleeve Polo rugby shirts. I've had at least four that I purchased secondhand for next to nothing and they are as nice as the day I bought them. Price-per-wear must be in the nickels by now. I've added a couple from the Polo store when they go on sale and for the price there are no equals.

Super presentation. I love Ralph Lauren shirts since when I was a kid feeling the fabric was always made me feel comfortable.

I never rocked Polo in highschool, and I regret it, but once I hit my late teens/early 20s, I never looked back once I put that shirt on. I hit them up every holiday I can get, and I'm sooooo addicted to the colors, and artwork of the bears. I can't go a year without hitting the Polo store up!!

I think the RL polos always look classy. It's interesting to hear about the history of his fashion development and your take on the shirts themselves. I always learn something from your videos and this one is great too!

This channel is so underrated it's a crime. I really appreciate the time and effort you guys put into these videos. If you guys ever make a channel specifically about being a gentleman in general rather than clothes I would 100% be here for it.

Excellent points Kyle! I recently ordered Fort Belvedere pocket squares and was overwhelmed with their quality fabrics and exquisite workmanship. Strongly recommend!

Got a few in my closet. The oldest polo I've had for 3 years at this point. Yes it's faded quite a bit since I got it, but I've encountered zero issues with material or stitching failure. Good purchase.

I've purchased second hand Ralph Lauren polos, including some from their golf line, And they've all been wonderful. I work at a department store and often get stuck doing grunt work, but they've held up very well. The long tails are much appreciated when your squatting done to move stock.

I am not a fan of them for myself , but my mother’s and brother’s Ralph Lauren polos are definitely worth the price for how often they wear them and how long they’ve lasted. My mother still has polos that she wore when I was in kindergarten (I am 30 now), and the same polos my brother bought in college are the ones he now wears on casual days.

while living in an impoverished area we had a table the hallway of a building where people brought different items and clothes they would not use anymore. One day i found 3 RL polos fitting perfectly. One had a whole but i t didnt bother. I still have those 3 polo 5 years later and they feel brand new everytime i wear them. I bought some stone island and lacoste polos and the quality is no where near them RL polos. Maybe its because they are old and quality was different back then.

I’ve had a RL Polo shirt for 13 years now. Its faded slightly but still fits great!

Very well made video. Thank you. I love this information. Bless you.

Thank you so mich for the Video. I really enjoyed it. Please do a Review on Fred Perry. I love those!

I love Ralph Lauren attire, please do a video on Ralph Lauren fragrances, I've been wearing them for decades ❤️👍

Gentlemens gazette, Love your channel. I think Ralph Lauren polos look nice and I own a few. They also would look good with Black and white spectator shoes or boots. Thanks for the upload.

Great shirts. I used to have a ton of the smooth cotton ones but they eventually shrunk. I just picked up a few mesh polos and love them. Great quality and style.

I have probably between 20 and 30 Ralph Lauren Polo shirts in various cuts and colors, mixed up of the Polo and Polo Sports and Purple Label lines. The quality of the Polo shirts is consistent, and in my experience, is of a higher quality than most of its competitors. The Purple Label line polo shirts are hand made in Italy rather than machine made in China, or Bangladesh or whatever so are of course of a much higher quality but all of them across the line have magnificent versatility and can be worn with a blazer or sports jacket and a pair of pleated sartorial style pants or with chinos of jeans for a more casual look. They can also as a result go with different footwear from loafers and boat shoes to a more formal Oxford shoe depending on the pants worn. Personally I think Ralph Lauren's Polo shirts are an excellent investment in a gentleman's wardrobe.

I wear quite a bit of Ralph Lauren because it fits my body well and the materials are of good quality and lasts. However, I buy when the stores are having sales. Example: 65% off and take another 45% off of that, as a good example. I never buy full price.
