Hello,
I made a terrible mistake probably. I bought a polo on ebay. This model to be exact. http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11834895 but it doesn't really look like this.
Pics of what I received...

The car isn't even same SMH. Ralph Lauren owns a Jaguar XKD, this looks like a normal E-TYPE. I'm actually a car fan and I like Ralph Lauren so I've found this shirt great.


I assume that it's fake.

Thanks in advance!

The label doesn't look like the typical counterfeit Polo label. The design itself doesn't really seem like something that would be attractive for counterfeiters to replicate either; adding graphics just adds extra cost and reduces the number of potential buyers.

Actually, it looks like you sort of got taken. The shirt itself seems legit but the car looks screened instead of embroidered. Is that the case? It looks like somebody took a plain navy polo and screened all this extra stuff on it. I take back what I said about counterfeit incentives, if they have cheap but legit RL polos it makes sense to dress them up a bit to mimic more expensive RL offerings.

Not a good shirt whether real or fake.

However, you have buyers protection on eBay so use it. Selling fakes is against eBay policy (and illegal).

clearly not what was listed for sale. As previous posters have stated, it is printed, not embroidered, the copy is not correct and this is exactly what buyer protection is for.

Thanks for all answers. The shirt is fake and he gave me a refund without much hesitation.
