Just received the tan version of this shirt from the Ralph Lauren site, and the tag reads "Made in India." Is this new, or did I miss a discussion about this?

The italians probably refused to make such an ugly shirt.

It was listed as a "sport shirt" that retailed, I think, for $265, which is certainly on the low end. At the same time, there are other shirts which, in the expanded description, read "Imported" and not "Made in Italy" which list for $375, which seems to be the standard retail for RLPL sport shirts on the site.

That settles it! Shoes moved from England to Italy. Clothing from Italy to India. RL is headed to chapter 11 (or 13).

Good point. Indians are famed lumberjacks.
