Is Ralph Lauren worth reselling?
Polo Ralph Lauren is one of the most common branded finds, so basic polo shirts don't make much. The money is in knitwear, vintage pieces, special lines and anything with a big graphic or unusual detail.
Best-selling Ralph Lauren items
- Cable-knit jumpers — Cotton and wool cable knits are consistent sellers.
- Polo bear and flag knitwear — Graphic pieces command premium prices.
- Vintage Polo Sport and Polo Jeans — 1990s pieces appeal to vintage buyers.
- RRL — Ralph Lauren's premium workwear line — much higher value.
What to check before you buy
- The label line (Polo, Lauren, Chaps, RRL, Purple Label) — values differ hugely.
- Big pony logos, bears, flags and patchwork.
- Wool, cashmere and linen content on the care label.
What to avoid
- Plain, faded polo shirts unless they're very cheap.
- Chaps and diffusion lines priced like main-line.
Spotting fakes
Counterfeit polo shirts are common. Look for neat logo embroidery with a defined pony and rider, quality buttons and correct labels.
