Fake RLPL

[Connemara]

Check out the third picture in this auction. The script on the label looks off to me. Thoughts?

I saw that too, and was equally wary, but mostly because of the final picture. I do not have enough experience with RLPL to be sure, but...

Well if it is, a lot of effort was certainly put into it.

Yes, it does look strange (sort of written in a Greek script), but suitworld is a reputable seller and everything else looks right:

It does look funny, however, if you look at all his other stuff, it is real, has great feedback and has a variety of product, it does not look like he is unloading a ton of fake rlpl like most of the fake ebay stuff.

That's a nice fake if it's not authentic. The RL logo stitching is a little different (the p) but not by much from the label shown on the Polo site.

You don't like it, the Ralpk Lauxen?

I have the same stitching on the label of a RLPL suit which I bought on eBay from a forum member (and which has the proper RN number, 41381, for Ralph Lauren goods--a level of detail one wouldn't expect from any but the most studious and meticulous counterfeiter). The label with the strange "h" at the end of "Ralph"also appears on a few other items listed on eBay, including a listing from mptobis, who I've always found to have legitimate merchandise:

The styling details are not for me but as others have commented, that is a very nice "fake" if it is....

 

[A Harris]

Unquestionably real.

I withdraw my comments, and will see you at the auction.

The suit looks just awesome. Is that a correct shoulder measurement for a 38r? I have 42Rs that are 18.5 shoulders, Polo suits that are way roomier that PL.

Then again, maybe I should re-measure my suits. Someone called me on a "typical" 42R size recently.

No, that is legit, the pants and inside St. Andrews tags are real and this model was I believe about 1 or 2 years ago.
