I've always liked their leather goods, too.

Then I will do the same!

I've sold most of my RL as their aesthetic is way too boring for my style. However I've kept this nice PRL charcoal 2B suit that I thrifted for $30, only suit I need really.

I'm not going to defend RL to the death or anything, but I have to say much of their stuff is far from boring. The bright colors and daring designs are actually what has drawn me to the brand. Did you not see the FU shirt, socks and sweater I own? All PRL.

Hmm, got any pics/links? I don't remember ever seeing any daring designs last time I checked RL.com, or seen any in person.

Then you have been living under a rock. Check my WAYWT posts, or any of my posts really as they have all had something to do with RL, from my induction with the Falkirks to the FU shirt. Sheesh.

I have worn RL over the years along with a variety of other brands. These days I just have three pairs of chinos, two polo shirts and one Blake button down shirt. I try and not be exclusively one brand. I do like Brooks Brothers a lot and I am happy they are now in Toronto and I will be overjoyed when J. Crew decides to expand into Canada.

Woah those are crazy.

I think you'd have a heart attack if you looked at any of the esoteric Belgian designers. No hate though, I realize it's just different tastes. In fact I may buy from RL if they make a cable knit shawl collar cardi in a nice dark olive color.

I really need to get a couple of belts and a few smaller bits and pieces, coupelled with another jacket at least. In fact, there are a couple of new colors in their sweater range that I'd like to snag too. Ho-hum, enough is never enough!

Wow, 27 dress shirts? I think I'm at 8 or 9 right now with another being delivered today. I can see having only Polo dress shirts.

I don't know, I think that's what you call love! I got my eyes on at least another 6 shirts, a jacket, a wallet and 4 sweaters. Mind you, I would like 2 more pants too. Hmmm.....Maybe bit after Christmas when they slash prices some more.

I tend to buy a lot of Ralph Lauren as well. I don't know that it's a love affair, so much as that I can count on its quality and that it's widely available.
