Yes, Holt Renfrew also stocks Polo by Ralph Lauren. HR has PRL casual wear along with some sports coats, a few suits, dress shirts, and ties.

Also they only sell regular fit.

I suppose that's better than the irregular fit.

I don't understand the cachÃ

of PRL in Canada then. Is it only because of a lack of supply? It goes for such a high price, when Polo floods the TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores in the US. Growing up in Canada, I valued such different brands.

Definitely much more difficult to get PRL or RLPL or RLBL in Canada. Only a couple of places have them and even then the inventory is limited.

That's why the majority of my PRL stuff comes from trips to the US.

To me, PRL makes the nicest, best quality & value, preppy clothing.

Looks like I"ll have to take my shopping south of the border then.

Thanks guys.

I think it's less typically representative of Canadian values. Polo and waspiness aren't typically Canadian style.

That said I think historically it was more purchased by a higher end consumer, thus the limited supply and signifigant price tag (almost never on sale). It's alot less ubiquitous here (relative to the USA)
