How can you tell if vintage Ralph Lauren is real?

Accepted Answer

To tell if vintage Ralph Lauren is real, first examine the tags.

For polo shirts and other embroidered pieces, examine the horse logo closely. A real Ralph Lauren horse logo will have a distinct tail and a straight back leg, another thing that many fakes will lack. Finally, examine the thread used to secure buttons and fasteners. It should be the exact same color as the rest of the garment. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of vintage Ralph Lauren apparel.
