If you're going to buy RRL go into a store. They'll pour you a beer while you shop and do everything to make it a pleasant experience. Dude from the Atlanta store even helped me out by recommending a pair of boots that weren't RRL and showing them to me on his tablet when I tried on a pair in the store and didn't quite like them. Probably wouldn't have made his boss happy but made me definitely know to shoot him a message anytime soon that I need something and don't have time to get to Atlanta. Only weird thing was girls doing the window displays being able to clearly see me in the changing room with the curtain that didn't cover halfway across haha

I try to buy in store whenever possible in general, but this comment extends to the entire Ralph Lauren retail operation, not just RRL. I've gotten great in-store service across the country (NYC, Atlanta, California, Chicago) from these stores. Here is a post of mine from a while back:

Yeah the Atlanta store has blue, purple, black, and rrl in the same store just sectioned off. In your thread someone mentioned stuffy and I got the opposite feel. They gave me a beer. Most stuffy places would offer something else. Dude asked me about the rag&bone jeans I was wearing and talked to me for about thirty minutes about everything under the sun. Definitely was almost over the top friendly and relaxed. He offered the beer while I was in the middle of changing and had a girl bring it to me that was smoking. Only turnoff to the store would be if you're uncomfortable changing in front of people but I don't mind (that just holds true for the RRL part of it). Dressing room was basically completely open to the store

Smoking hot, or literally smoking? In a RRL store neither would surprise me.

Hey guys. Does anyone know what season this shirt is from or do you recognize this label? I have never seen one like it. Curious if it could be fake. The shirt has no other details really. I actually really like it and it didn't cost a lot but just curious. Thanks!

(sorry, no matter how I rotate the pics it shows up turned)

Not fake - I've seen that label before. Why would you assume it's fake - have you heard there is a lot of fake RRL out there or something? I remember seeing a website a while back which had loads of fake RRL on in (it was posted here). Fake RRL looks REALLY fake. Does anyone remember the fake RRL site from a few years back?

Cool thanks. I didn't really think it was fake, I just had never seen that label and it seemed to have a lot less going for it than other RRL pieces I've bought. No real details at all. But it's a decent basic shirt. Was just curious.

thanks man
