The year of foundation of the famous brand Ralph Lauren was 1967. It was then that Ralph Lauren presented his tie to the world, made in a very interesting and original design idea. Its distinguishing feature was its large width, while at the peak of consumer demand were then narrow patterns of ties. Starting with branded ties, Lauren eventually launched the production of original lines of women's clothing. By the end of the 70s, his company gained incredible popularity, and the 80s are rightfully considered the decade of Ralph Lauren in the world of high fashion and style.
Summary:
Appearing on the shelves of boutiques, wide ties step by step came to universal recognition and wide popularity among connoisseurs. fashion clothes. This circumstance was the impetus to give life to a new brand, called "PoloFashion". It was not by chance that the young and ambitious designer dedicated it to an elite kind of sport inherent in successful and wealthy people with a delicate taste and a sense of beauty. Such a name trademark symbolizes belonging to the upper class, privilege and prosperity.
Unfortunately, these days the market is full of counterfeit versions of the Ralph Lauren classic, the famous polo shirt. Choosing branded products this eminent brand, you should be extremely careful and be able to separate the fake from the original, which meets the highest quality standards and is made of the best materials.
Here are the main features and differences of a real Ralph Lauren polo:
1. Label Features
All branded products of the famous brand (whether it be a baseball cap, trousers or a shirt) are applied exactly the same labels.
Original labels and Ralph Lauren labels are produced on special equipment that allows you to get absolutely accurate samples of branded labels at the output.
Even the threads with which the label is sewn to the garment have their own characteristics. So, the threads should match the main shades of the polo shirt, and the stitches should be done in an ideal way, without protruding threads.
2. Company logo
Authentic Ralph Lauren clothing has a logo representing a polo player, which is embroidered very expressively and looks natural. So, in the picture all the elements are clearly visible, including the player's head in a helmet, a stick, body parts and horse reins. A sure sign of a fake is a logo in the form of a centaur rather than a horse.
3. Rules for the location of the logo
They are quite strict for the original Ralph Lauren polos. If we consider a small version of the image, then the rule is as follows: a straight line drawn from the logo to the button bar must show that the club is located at the level of the bottom line of the bar or slightly higher. As for the enlarged logo design, here it is a little different: the tip of the club should be located approximately in the middle between the bottom button and the end of the placket. The option is also allowed when the entire pattern is entirely at the level between the lower button and the end of the strap.
4. Characteristics of the bar
A true polo shirt under the legendary Ralph Lauren brand should have a two-button placket. The number of buttons can be as high as three on individual samples from the Rugby collection. An important feature inherent in a genuine polo is that the corner of the bar slightly extends beyond the collar of the shirt.
5. Characteristic features of buttons
These items are made from plastic material High Quality. The color scheme of the buttons is slightly mother-of-pearl, and the number of holes is four. There are no inscriptions on the buttons.
6. Special tags
A sign of this polo is the presence of two tags. They are sewn, as a rule, to the inner seam at the bottom of the product. One tag contains the instructions for the care of the shirt, the other contains the code of the factory that made the garment.
7. Bottom of the product
One of the key features of an authentic polo shirt is the lengthened back section in relation to the front section. This was not done by chance and is designed to protect the back from colds when a person makes active movements. Another one distinguishing feature branded polo - small cuts on the sides of the product.
8. Special numbering
An important feature of true Ralph Lauren polo shirts is the use of numbers exclusively in the range from 1 to 5. This is not surprising for this brand, because no more than five people from each team take part in the game of the same name. As a result of this rule, the numbers of the players correspond to their number. By the way, the number 1 can be found on products extremely rarely, since in this elite game the first player is considered the weakest.
Ralph Lauren is one of the most famous, stylish and at the same time affordable fashion brands. And, in fact, this combination of qualities is not surprising: the creator of the brand, Ralph Lauren, went to him for a long time and quite consciously.
Ralph Lauren himself
Those who do not care about fresh collections, but who want to save up to 90% of the cost, are, of course, waiting for the American branch ebay.com. Here, Ralph Lauren products are presented in the widest range - for every taste and, in general, a wallet. I would especially like to highlight the seller BHFO, one of the largest sellers of clothes and shoes. In its assortment you will find thousands of products from a wide variety of Ralph Lauren collections. In addition to the possibility of sending a forwarder to the warehouse, relatively inexpensive international shipping is also provided.
Size Information
As most buyers note, in terms of size matching, this brand is one of the most complex and confusing. Of all the lines of the brand, only the Ralph Lauren Collection is more or less stable - these products either correspond to their size chart, or are somewhat larger.
You can often find the opinion that Ralph Lauren clothing models are tailored for fairly slender and proportionately built people. As for the more accurate parameters of each product, the choice for them often resembles a lottery - it may or may not coincide.
From the thousands of reviews found on the Web, the following picture emerges:
When choosing outerwear, you should focus mainly on the size of the OG (chest girth). This also applies to women's dresses. If you choose the size mainly by ABOUT (hip circumference), then there may be extra space in the bust area.
Many men's sweaters (but not all!) are too wide at the waist for a normal fit over the shoulders.
The petite designation refers to products designed for heights up to 165 cm - the difference from regular will be noticeable in the length of the sleeves and trousers.
Most shoes run about half a size small and are designed for fairly narrow feet.
Children's clothing - here the sizes just "walk" in all directions. Having made an order of several children's things, be prepared for the fact that one part of them will be small for your baby, the other is large. However, something can fit perfectly.
Despite such a "dimensional disgrace", the admirers of this brand are not getting smaller. Many people prefer to take a chance and order several products of adjacent sizes at once, knowing for sure that later attaching Ralph Lauren items that do not fit in size is not a problem.

"How to buy a polo with a horse and not be deceived at the same time."
In the last 3-5 years in Moscow (and therefore throughout Russia), polo shirts have become especially fashionable and beloved. The most famous manufacturers of such shirts (among world brands) are about 15 companies. All these brands, with greater or lesser success, are counterfeited by unscrupulous businessmen who have filled everything with their bullshit. Russian markets. But with particular fury, all these jackals pounced on (the most popular among our population) polo shirts with horse riders embroidered on the chest. Since our Club promotes mainly American brands, the most famous brands with the rider(s) logo on the horse(s) are US POLO Assn (USPA) and Ralph Lauren (RL).
It should be noted right away that these are absolutely 2 different brands, each of which has its own history and does its own independent business. These companies pursue different goals, perform different tasks, have different pricing policy. The only thing that unites them is the slightly similar (especially from a distance and for people with poor eyesight) logos with polo players.
The USPA brand has a longer history dating back to 1890. Ralph Lauren has been making these shirts since 1967. To avoid confusion, US POLO ASSN writes the following phrase on some cardboard labels: "NOT AFFILIATED WITH POLO RALPH LAUREN CORP."
Both companies (after intensifying the release of fakes on the market) are trying to diversify the range of products and change logos. Both brands have in their arsenal both large and small horses (Big Pony and Small Pony). Both firms produce polo shirts for men, women, children, as well as women's dresses based on polo shirts (of course, a little longer than the shirt).
Consider examples of the USPA brand:
The products of this company are more mass-produced and have more affordable prices. For the American market, these polo shirts are produced mainly by Bangladesh and India.
Now let's give examples of Ralph Lauren (RL) brand products:
In addition, Ralph Lauren pays great attention to tall customers (with long arms) and Big Mac lovers with a large belly and waist. A special size range is produced for them: Big & Tall:
This company even offers the production of personalized products, on which the customer's initials or emblems can be embroidered (according to his wishes):
This company can make a similar shirt for your pet:
But this is for gourmets and lovers of the exotic ...
The products of this brand are (generally) more expensive, as this company positions itself as an elite in the world of the fashion industry. Although this manufacturer has several product lines that differ greatly from each other in price.
However, back to our main topic: how to distinguish an original polo from a fake.
To start this conversation, we must immediately say that in each team of polo players - usually 4 players (very rarely - 5). Therefore, when you see a number greater than 5 on the sleeve, on the chest or on the back of a polo shirt for sale, you can safely spit in the face of the seller. Polos with the numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 are sold in full on the market (they were made by completely illiterate Chinese, and our people who are not too far away, but who strive to be in trend, buy them).
The next important (and easy to check for authenticity) point is: the presence of cuts on the sides (at the bottom of the product) and the difference in the length of the front and back parts. In RL polo shirts (both men's and women's), the back is longer than the front. The exceptions are shirts for golf and tennis.
For men's USPA polo shirts, the difference in length is about 3 cm, for women's USPA polo shirts, the front and back lengths are the same.
At the next stage of the check, you need to carefully examine the details on the embroidered logo: on the original product, all the smallest details of the riders are clearly visible:
Both manufacturers have vertical stripes (such as adhesive tape) glued on top of their shirts, on which the size of the product is repeatedly indicated (for hooded manufacturers, the production of such a tape usually causes big problem and additional costs).
It should be noted here that, of course, you can make a high-quality fake of any product (even a Bentley car!), But the cost of such a product will be higher than that of the original. Therefore, high-quality fakes are unprofitable and do not interest fakers. They try to get the maximum profit at the minimum cost!
Then it would be a good idea to carefully examine all cardboard labels and internal fabric labels and labels. On real shirts, cardboard labels are made of fairly thick cardboard and have clear, high-quality lettering.
On the inside of the USPA polo collar, a letter logo is always sewn on and the size, fabric composition and country of origin are indicated.
Ralph Lauren shirts have fabric tags sewn into the side inner seam (at the bottom of the polo): one is wide with instructions for washing and caring for the product, the other is narrow (SUPPLIER) with the manufacturer's code).
During an external examination, attention should be paid to the buttons sewn on the collar strap, as well as their number. Usually, there are only 2 buttons on such shirts. Each button has 4 holes and is carefully sewn to the fabric. RL buttons are mother-of-pearl (not necessarily white). USPA buttons have "US POLO ASSN SINCE 1890" engraved all around.
On the "ears" of the collar, you also need to carefully look. The correct option is shown in the photo:
Naturally, one must carefully look at the quality of the lines on the front and inside of the product. At the same time, you do not need to rush when inspecting the product that interests you. At the slightest suspicion, it is better to refuse to buy - you should not part so easily (and voluntarily) with absolutely hard-earned money!
By following our simple tips, you can pick up a quality genuine polo shirt for yourself and at the same time not join a fairly large class of deceived.
Now another (easiest) way to avoid being scammed: you should NEVER buy ANYTHING from strangers and in strange places. Use the recommendation of relatives, acquaintances, work colleagues.
And by becoming a member of our Club, you will be able to use (provided by us) a unique opportunity to order at your own discretion any product from any online store located in the United States and NOT delivering orders to Russia.
We wish you successful shopping and only genuine goods!
As always, before buying, use so as not to make the simplest mistakes.

We've covered just a few of the general things you need to check when shopping for Ralph Lauren Polo. We hope that this information will be enough for you to distinguish a fake from the original.
Brand Ralph Lauren produces only high quality expensive goods, which will be a shame to confuse even with decent replicas.
On the market, fakes for branded goods are increasingly beginning to come across. very embarrassing and
it is unpleasant to give hard-earned money for defective goods. So the question is how to distinguish
the original ralph lauren branded cap from a fake is not unreasonably put. Why
does the discussion begin with the headgear? Everything is simple here. Baseball caps in recent
time become a thing that people wear all year round. And if earlier a fake was given out by a small logo, poor-quality tailoring, now it is almost impossible to distinguish a branded baseball cap from a fake. In order not to fall for the hook of scammers, you need to know some nuances.
Main differences and advantages
To understand what distinguishes the original from the low-grade stuff, you need to catch the distinctive features. This designer's baseball caps have a special spirit. The idea of creating a headdress was borrowed from the British country style. Ralph Lauren was inspired by shocking and free trends of the past era, trying to convey everything that he likes so much in his collections. The designer's love for the Western style is clearly seen in the models. This is what attracts people all over the world to Lauren's baseball caps. Beanies harmonize well with jeans, boots, fringed leather jackets. With the help of a stylish accessory, the owners of branded caps manage to create a unique bow, daring, but at the same time noble. Insanely stylish combination.
Caps made by Ralph Lauren help their owners to emphasize their high social status, material stability, and excellent taste. But in order for the product to work as described, it is important to buy an original baseball cap, to determine its authenticity in the store.
Before purchasing the product you like, you need to carefully study the logo - a rider with a stick sitting on a horse. On branded items, the pattern is neatly embroidered, the threads do not stick out. On copies, the logo may be printed or sewn, but crooked, have missing lines.
If the logo is accurately embroidered, you need to look at it from a short distance. Picture
should clearly show who is depicted on it. With a branded item, every detail of the logo will be clearly visible: the hooves and tail of the horse, the team, the club, the helmet - everything can be seen. On fakes, the rider does not contrast with a baseball cap, but looks like a centaur or some other unknown animal.
Another distinctive feature of naturalness is the back strap. On non-natural products, leather trims are often made at the back, but on branded products everything is different.
The original styles have a fabric strap, a metal buckle is fixed on top,
which the POLO engraving is clearly visible. Ralph has models with leather small,
neat strap, but these are premium products that are not found in mass sales.
