Lacoste is the best polo in terms of quality. Great fabric, mother of pearl buttons and good fits.
i personally like the burberry polos
There are some pretty stupid threads scattered around SF and this ranks right up there with the best (worst) of them. How insecure can you be that you feel the need to call one of the other "higher end"? I'd venture to say that everyone who has picked a side did so because that's the brand they own. Here's a thought, neither of them is high end. You can get RL on the clearance racks at Marshall's and I see Lacoste polo's in Costco on a regular basis. Buy something because you like it and move on with your life.

I feel a little sad for you buddy. Costco sells very nice upscale merchandise. Any place you can buy a bottle of Dom Perignon can't be all that low end. Or maybe you will complain that it's not good? I guess there will always be people who ***** and try to ruin a good time for everyone else.
Well, I reckon you'll have got the gist from the responses that the perception is that PRL is higher end!
And a $10 watch performs the same basic function as a $10,000 Rolex. There is a perception, and people are willing to pay extra for the Rolex. Why is that?
You could wear a $3 old navy polo, and a $10 watch, and another guy could wear a $80 Lacoste polo and a $500 watch, and I think if you asked 10 people their perceptions about the two, they would come up with different words to describe them just based on the initial impression of what they are wearing.
I could buy Ralph Lauren Polos at Marshalls for example, they are $35. But they might only have 2 or 3 colors to chose from, and only sizes M and L. If you are a size S or XL you may be out of luck. If you want a white or yellow RL Polo, you may have to wait a month or longer until they get those colors, and then they sell fast. You never know what they will have in stock. I think the whole point of a Marshalls is to have a few name brands like RL that people like, but when the shopper can't find the right size or color, they buy a house brand instead of driving to a store that stocks that item.
