I noticed that seller as well.

Most of the stuffs he sells have no tags and I have never seen those printed T-shirts ever.

And I saw that vest's RRL label before, it used on Grand Canyon collection if memory serves.

Here are some example(I do not have any connections with these listings)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/495-RALPH-L...7?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Backpacks&hash=item4d08c9ac77

http://www.ebay.com/itm/390-Nwt-RRL...293226?pt=US_CSA_MC_Vests&hash=item2c64e50b2a

http://www.ebay.com/itm/790-Ralph-L...29?pt=US_CSA_MC_Outerwear&hash=item2a170f54b9

And If you check the listings from seller annayounglady, plastic tag attacher is black. I've never seen RRL using black hang tag attacher. And Union Made label looks printed.



If you go to Taobao, you can find fake RRLS

Ive seen some of those shirts before. This one for example is a few years old but its legit.

If youre going to try to make money by bootlegging a shirt then you would need to sell a bunch of these to cover your screenprinting costs alone. Making one fake isnt going to cut it.

The yellow one with the logo ive seen before too.

I guess I was wrong. :embar:


I'm not so sure you're wrong. Take a look at this from the same seller... Surely the vests are just decent fakes, whereas this thing is just simply horrendous. Looks like the sort of tourist ware one might find outside a mosque in Turkey. Look at all the loose threads hanging off this thing. Simply dreadful.

Hi guys,

It's been a while I was lurking at the RRL Chino Officers Rigid selvedge.
I finally found them at the official Ralf Lauren shop in Paris. They were not importing RRL product line but now they do!
I'm just back from the store (lucky me it is open on sunday) and I bought them in size 30 (always thought I needed a tag 32).
I don't have them yet since I ask the store to hem and taper them a bit. I can't wait to get them next saturday :) !

BTW I always thought those chinos was made in the USA but the ones I saw was "made in China". The seller told me that only the jeans was made in the US but not the chinos. Is it true?

Just tried a few of their more pre-worn denim pieces over the holidays and was very impressed. Maybe I'm moving away from the whole "raw jawnz" thing. The denim was a great weight, tastefully aged, and felt like great construction. Just wish there was a local place here that stocked it.

Was it all selvedge or are they still doing non-selvedge for some of their washed stuff?

From what I gathered, all Japanese-sourced denim, then made in the USA. Everything I tried had a selvege outseam and coinpocket.

OK cool. Is any of the stuff you tried on the website?


Not sure TBH - haven't visited the website for anything more than details on my sales threads. Tried a one-wash slim, and some beaten up low straights (leftovers in sig). They were all really nice.
