These cars are to die for. The man is a hero and a legend! His cars are the material of fantasies.

It's a 330 2+2 and probably would have cost more to restore than the final product is worth.Originally Posted by zjpj83

Nice cars! As an aside, some of the comments on that page referring to the decline in quality of Mr. Lauren's various labels are rather funny.Originally Posted by chrome_dout
But very, very true. I mean the zippers on everything from Polo to RLPL are a joke.

What's wrong with his zippers?Originally Posted by zjpj83
They don't zip. It's a massive problem. I mean an RLPL garment for $4000 and the zipper doesn't work properly. And they have been getting steadily worse. I mean really, how much does a good zipper cost?

You just need to use them a little before they work without issue. I think it's more a problem of newness than of quality.

The only zipper that's currently annoying me is a Loro Piana zipper. But how difficult can it be to replace a zipper?

I work everyday with RL clothing, I promise you, they don't work right even with years of use.
