Polo Outlets - any RLPL or RLBL?

[jpo]

In general, do Polo Outlets have any RLPL or RLBL? There are no Polo stores near me but a pretty big outlet about an hour away. I have yet to have any in person look at RLPL, RLBL stuff.

Not for more than 3 hours at a time.

Depends on the outlet, really. Often there's a small sale rack of mainline merch -- often Polo, but sometimes BL and PL -- amid a lot of stuff made specifically for the outlet. Some outlets never seem to get anything decent.

The better stuff shows up sporadically. It can be months between shipments.

yes, in florida they do. can't speak for other states.

have been able to snag RLPL casual shirts, dress shirts, sweaters, and pants from the outlets. can't remember the last time i saw RLBL, but they do exist. they also have the odd pair of RRL jeans here and there as well.

Sporadic at best, like Doc said. Sometimes you just get lucky.

I seems like the outlets have changed in recent years. They used to be a dumping ground for leftover mainline merchandise. You'd have a chance to pick up real bargains.

Now, they're just another sales channel. Nearly everything you find is made exclusively for the outlets. I find the selection bland and uninspiring.

From what I read in these forums, outlets located near pockets of wealth (Palm Beach) still get some of the good stuff, because they know it will move. Most, however, do not.

The one in San Marcos (between Austin and San Antonio) usually has a smattering of PL, BL and made in Italy Polo stuff.

I have yet to see anything decent at the Polo outlets in Orlando, FL or Vero Beach, FL.

It's a brown pinstripe, apparently. It will be like Christmas, in that I don't really know what to expect. There were a couple for sale here that had peak lapels, but i really don't know if this is the same suit or not. I'll post pics.

hmm...maybe i just got lucky then. last month i was up there (Orlando) and saw some nice RLPL knits for 80-100 and pants for 150 plus. there may have been a jacket or two, i don't remember. i also got the feeling that the selection had already been picked over, so perhaps there would have been more if i got there earlier

I've seen RLPL scattered about pretty regularly. They aren't ever going to have an entire corner of the store dedicated to it, but it is there.

Any Michigan folks know a decent outlet w/ RLBL or RLPL around Detroit or Troy? I'm heading down to this mall for some shopping this weekend. http://www.thesomersetcollection.com/
