Possibly true arguments:

long at the back, short at the front

made in phillipines with 50 on tag inside

stitching at the bottom has one line only

Possibly fake arguments:

top button does not have cross stitching (seller confirmed it was a flaw, is exchanging a new one at the moment)

the black tag seems strange?

so is it true or fake?

I bought mine at a Ralph Lauren store in Vienna - will take a look at these things and try to confirm it for ya.

- I don't have the made in the phillipines thingy

- I do have a tag in the inner side of the shirt saying how to was it in like 6 different languages - the tag also states that it's 100% cotton and made in vernier Switzerland

My buttons both have cross stitching

I can't remember having a tag like that on it, but it could be that I bought it at an outlet center, with reduced prices and all - never seen a tag on clothing there anyhow.

thanks heaps =)

yeh i'm pretty sure all polos should have cross stitching on its buttons and the seller confirmed that they should as well, and my one was a flaw, so i'm gonna get an exchange...

what i'm wondering is do the tags look similar? and also the black tag doesn't feel really smooth...

on the other hand, it's possible that different manufacturing countries might have some slight differences on these tags as well...

yeh i'm pretty sure the shirt meets all the criteria for it being authentic.. it's juz the flaw with the button and i'm wondering bout the print on the tags, although the text that's printed on it is 100% correct... also the seller has 3xxx positive ratings... so i dunno =P

I would suggest fake. Reasons:

RL quality control would not let the flaw through

Stitchwork looks poor

Tag looks fake

Finally, did it come in a box or a bag. Every RL shirt I have came boxed.

But my take is this. If you buy it cheap and you like it who cares? So it's not a real RL shirt - it's still a real shirt!

Well, I do not have the tags beneath the Polo by Ralph Lauren tag in the neck. It's just the Ralph Lauren tag there for me.

The 'made in' tag / 'how to wash' guide is on the inner side near the bottom (don't know which side anymore :p), it's longer then the one you have, about twice the size in length at least...

Something that I noticed though is that the logo intself in the chest is as good as identical to the one I have - my experiences somewhat give me the impression that most of the times the logo's aren't as good as the original, but this one sure is.

Might be from a different year/collection? Maybe the fact that mine is european and your isn't?

yeh... i'm still accounting for the possibilities that different manufacturing regions have slight differences.... and a few days ago i went into the RL Polo store in Australia... and I felt one of their real polos, but the touch wasn't as "grand" as what i had thought...

yeh it'd be hard stitching that polo logo if you were to fake it...

@Spielo: yeh there are quite a lot of scams on eBay atm.. maybe i'll juz walk into a local RL Polo store and examine it closely...

:huh: What difference does it make ? Either you're going to wear it or not. No one is going to get that close to examine your clothes.

Well if it's from a legit seller he probably paid ?50-?60 for it??

I'd be rather annoyed if I spent that much only to find it's fake, when you could probably buy 8 fake ones for that price.

Just my theory:D:D

My thoughts exactly... If I see one for 10 euro's or something, moest of the times it's a done deal for m:p:p even though I do prefer to have real ones for some weird reason.

Well, went I went to the Philippines for a holiday last January, I went into a RL Store and got myself 10 shirts for approx $12AUD dollars each. And they were absolutely real. Buy cheap ,sell at a higher but reasonable price. Thats what I did with other shirts I bought and they were 100% genuine.

omg... can't believe they're that cheap in the philippines... the RL store was a proper retail store or was it an outlet? so i guess my polos are real then *hugs on to them* =P

Lol..Absolutely. It doesn't stop there. You go into a Mossimo, Levis and Lee store and your jaw will drop. You'll be like a kid in a candy store. They were real stores. You can go to outlets but they also carry genuine stock.

Good thing to do is check the stitching. Make sure its very tight and secure. The buttons don't feel loose like they are about to fall off (You should always get a spare buttion). The back of the shirt is longer then the front. The logo is straight and not at an angle.

Main reason why they are so cheap. Hate to say it as a fellow Filipino myself, but not a lot of people there are able to afford such genuine items so they have to be priced reasonably for people to even afford to buy one.

Comparisson

AUS retail = approx. $60-$80 << I Think >>Which equals approx. 3000 pesos (Philippines currency)

PL retail = approx. $12AUD >> equals approx. 360 pesos. (Huge difference)

The dollar conversion also heaps in the cheapness.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
