Further to the polo.com madness, I note that there is a loafer model Barksdale that has the same cursive lettering on the insole, high price but not explicitly marked as PL on the site. Is this a PL? What makes a PL a PL or not then? Just inquisitive.

Yes, the Barksdale is an RLPL/EG, as are the Camden and Addison.

Just be careful because the loafers fit differently compared to the oxfords they have. (Or at least that was my experience.)

Hmmm, they are probably on the 100 last, which I find to be rather loose fitting.
