I would say the price, and it being from Hong Kong in my opinion. I just want to know what you think. Because If I have to return it, I have to prove that its not Guiene I think.

They're probably legit. For the fellow that says "no Polo for $40"...that just shows you likely waste your money. For instance...

http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/s...3D4&R=03379266

Polo Outlet stores usually carry prior seasons collections for about 30%. They also carry slightly inferior basics (I buy my white dress shirts, custom fit Regent collar shirts for $40-$60 a shirt...normal price, $85...cotton isn't quite as good, wear out a little quicker, but that's fine). It's possible whoever is selling that shirt A) bought it at a department store for next to nothing and is selling for a profit B)bought it at an outlet store while they were having a promotion.

If you're only 15, instead of going for "look at me" clothes, go for good quality clothes. Just go to a mid level department store in between seasons and you can get Polo basic solid Polos for $50 or less. I buy my Polo at Dillard's due to their sales...last polo I picked up was like $25 (marked at $49.99 with 50% off). Far classier, just as quality, and everyone will still know it's Polo...just not from sixty feet.

A few things that should put your mind at ease. RL has their polos made in several countries, so you can't tell just from that. The Ralph Lauren website does not offer every item that is available from the company. I have seen the black/white and black/gold variants like the pictures you posted for sale in past years. The navy blue with gold trim hangtags in the pictures look like they're supposed to. Try checking the back of the label of the shirt where the size is (behind the M). It should say RN41381.

I have bought from both these sellers before and I can tell you they are the same shirt.
I took it to the RL Shop and they could not find anything fake about them. Polo shirts are made all over the world.
