Non of them, they're probably fake. The first one in particular seems to have a heck of a lot of 'New: With Tags' RL along with many other designer brands, very suspicious.

At least first is 100% authentic. Polo blazers with tag "made in Italy" are usually made by Corneliani. Their quality is top-notch. Polo stuff made in China, Macao, Slovakia and other similar countries isn't so great.

@ Mike, the Luxstore (blazer#1) seems to have a consistent supply of authentic RL apparel to include Purple and Black Label

@Grigory, NOTED!! Thanks.
