Got into RRL out of convenience - always loved the aesthetic but didn't know where to find anything. Stumbled across RRL when it first hit RL.com while I was still in Mesh Polos and 501s.
Does made in china/india/pakistan/Sri Lanka bother me? for the price - sure. Made in Japan and Made in USA are available at those prices...but ultimately I think we keep buying RRL (and other brands like it, regardless of where they are made) because we like it and that's enough of a value prop to pay the asking.
As an RL fanboy I think it's even more RRL-y to find vintage RRL and Polo now that pieces been around enough to age.
