You don't get enough either, do you?

I ordered two more things as well the other day: 1 navy PRL cashmere cable sweater and 1 pair of RLBL slacks (cream with blue stripes). I think the slacks will be great for summer and the cable sweater will work unless it's too hot.

Ralph Lauren is the greatest brand in the world! About 95% of my wardrobe are RL products (including shoes and acc.) and I hate to wear something out of the 5%

Greatest brand in the world? Since most of the best RL stuff is made by Italian expert tailors?

I can't deny that I love the RL brand, but it's the design I love. I would prefer RL to be actually "Made in the USA" as I'm buying a piece of American heritage and culture, but "Made in the USA" seems to be very rare when it comes to RL...

I have revamped my entire wardrobe to include mostly RL blue label items. For example, 5 out of my 8 suits are Polo (one other is Green Label and the other two Paul Stuart). All of my sweaters are Polo. 15 of the shirts in rotation are Polo. I'm always on the lookout for Polo England shoes.

Ever since I began wearing suits at the age of 19, I have had a love affair with Brooks Brothers, particularly their non-iron shirts. However, the past few years, after BB's acquisition by the Del Vecchio family, I have found the quality to be slipping as the prices are rising. Consequently I have begun to shop elsewhere. Over the years I have had 4 suits and 20 shirts made at Brooks, and bought countless items OTR, but I'm just not as devoted as I once was.

I thought I would share some of my "vintage" POLO collection attire. This piece if anyone can remember the KEITH model sportcoat. A rendition of a Norfolk jacket. I love the detail of the bellows pocket w/flap. This styling you cannot purchase off the rack. You'll only see something like this if it's custom. A check with an overplaid. I can't fit it and can't depart of it!

How do Classic fit Polo dress shirts fit? Are they too baggy? Also, any comments on Polo III fit? Heavy or light padded shoulders? High or Low Arm Holes?
