There is a thing called "STOLEN VALOR" basically Vets get discounts and other benefits, People dress up in fake uniforms to take advantage of this. Often times a soldier will pull one of the fakers cards and it can't get ugly. I have a lot of respect for soldier's and I wish the worst upon poser's.

This ones my favorite:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Am I one step closer to finding a Bones Brigade?

80's shirts -- Generic skate theme, a made in Ireland(!) screen stars (it says on the back of the tag) British tourism shirt, and Dr. Pepper (maybe available to someone who really wants a soft old Dr. Pepper shirt).

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I'm really hoping you can confirm these are fake.

The stitching on the main tag looks horrible, but the real Galiano jeans from the same owner confound me!

When did Polo end production in the USA?

 

[noob in 89]

Never, I don't think. Their stuff comes from everywhere to be sold everywhere.

When did Polo end production in the USA?

1985 was when they took brand overseas and shifted production away. Select pieces where made in USA until 199? and those where usually expensive items that involved USA MADE fabric like POLAR FLEECE etc

Awesome! I tend to hold onto anything that fits if its USA made. RRL has a timeline that goes Thusly USA>MACAU>CHINA very easy to remember. I don't consider anything past the USA era to be really "RRL" its just POLO with different marketing and a more expensive price tag, but its basically the same quality wise in many cases. Im a hardcore RL guy and I will readily concede this so if you start coming at me with "BUT THERE JEANS" this and that, but the jeans aint even all that sometimes bro. They was in marshals and **** left and right when they first started making them in china, and people where hyped all over like " I CANT BELIEVE IM GETTING RRL AT MARSHALS" Not realizing that **** failed in the store and folks was put off by the new **** for a minute. It took all kinds of hipsters liking heritage clothes to keep that **** relevant.

What about now, though? Seems like I still see made in the USA items on sale from some of their brands.

Gah, I hate it when people donate lots of real baller stuff and fakes at the same time.

The previously mentioned Canali. I believe this will be the first suit I keep for myself. So mint, trousers 10.5" rise.





Couple of things from July. Ties are BB. RLPL has a hole, but it was $1.00.
