Legit check: PRL American Flag Jumper
I've started to look to getting another Ralph Lauren Jumper after my previous wool one got shrunk in the wash. I had a look on eBay for an RL American Flag jumper and I found this listing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/205079737802?_skw=Ralph+Lauren+american+flag&itmmeta=01JBYP3HKJGPFKE3K9RVAS7RWD&hash=item2fbfb475ca:g:5q4AAOSwFyFnJp9u&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkaHRINgG5VUm6GoKDiOSFdRKNRCu8rKyC43Oip8JqcG36d%2F0fIFbLfQpSCatKtZk5TbzBP6SBcEY1d1A%2BgT12w9IXUDWR68pX%2FqSuaAHFrOcwMp59lz6XQma2J7ha7KZIsEJs%2BIsfPWa8RsfzMVW8JMj1XpfAYxGknM4YrLi6hvk22OuN8r%2FnIIU7Yw7U6GAm3g4CbKbKOrdzeAJfFHztOwemOx0qZMaIONEq2ZvfUlVa20aoAwuIs%2BLFQabrvjtjbd2WTvkOnVuRmHg2zfqkSpjlgFkluvrhW7tUR%2BlE2wA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM8JmO1t9k
It looks to be legit from what I can see but I want to be sure.

360 pounds for a cotton jumper :caught:

Defining modern luxury with romantic elegance and timeless style since 1967.
It's even more here
But yeah, £360 is a lot for a cotton sweater
but £449? :linkSweat:
these should not be more than £100 realistically on ebay
though buying the american flag sweater as a non american is very amusing to me
It's from my inspo :linkBow:

Every american flag we buy increases green card lottery chances
im aware of the flag sweater, it is iconic
anyway they are very available on ebay for $100 or less in the US so I wouldn't expect too much more than that in the UK. I would look for one with measurements rather than the one in the OP
you may also consider a polo bear sweater instead of the flag one lol
Maybe wait until the outcome of the election before you buy yourself a US flag to parade around :)
I also found the flag one much harder to style than my polo bear one and ended up sellign it and keeping my bear one
(also this is a frankly insane amount of money to spend on a sweater as a uni student)
The eBay listing? 🤔
I think I saw one in my size on German vinted for like 50 euros
350 is stupidly overpriced
I didn't want to say it so explicitly since it's not my money, but yes
Or all of what I've shared so far?

How to unshrink a wool sweater. Your favorite sweater wound up in the dryer and is now only fit for a four-year-old? Fix it fast by doing the following.
You will need: Hair conditioner, a flat surface, and two towels.
Step one: Fill you...
Mood
For what it’s worth I think it’s a fun sweater and for the right price I’d like to have one
Agree with the others it can be found for much cheaper
yeah
i'll keep looking
surely I can find something at a reasonable price
i also want to say that while inspo is good you don't have to buy the exact pieces from your inspiration
you can pull ideas from the colors, shapes, etc, pieces in more general terms
Ok
Hmm
It's proving a bit difficult to find something decently priced
Just takes time and patience
I have waited literal years to pick up specific pieces, you have time
If anything, waiting 1+ month before you buy something I often no longer want the piece once the initial excitement wears off
If I want something for 3 months or longer usually by then it’s something I actually start to consider purchasing
yeah, i think that could help
I've got a do it now mentality for a lot of what I do and I think it applies to buying choices too
don't machine wash your sweaters, hand wash and lay flat to dry
Sam you get this advice a lot so I am repeating a bit but there’s a lot to be gained from reading compared to just online shopping
yeah, i do get it a fair bit :linkSweatSmile:
i've not done that much in reading magazines recently
but today i have been reading an issue of Popeye
Well, reading, as in finding inspo pics
Yeah... I think I'll stick with getting a polo bear one instead of an American flag one, if and when I decide to get one
Ok, maybe not the polo bear one with the american flag
they do those without the flag, right?
:linkThink:
there's a bunch of polo bear merch
@denny623 did a series dressing as polo bears, i think if you peruse ebay long enough you'll find at least one https://www.instagram.com/p/DBwHnx2xfgG/?igsh=MWdjdnF0OG41cWgzYg==

I like these fits, they're 🔥
This style is something I want to try & replicate
Leaning pretty hard into the western wear I see
If that’s where you wanna go I would look towards more relaxed straight leg or boot cut denim and some actual boots
Again, both can be done affordable and secondhand
Additionally, denim and boots is a huge world. Go slow slow slow while you learn
indeed :linkBow:
:linkThink:
What could I read up on that's specifically about western wear?
You got sent tons of recommendations just start going through those and reading the descriptions of the books for one that seems interesting
Ok yeah.
The reason I asked was I wasn't sure if there were any I got reccomended that were specifically just about western wear :linkSweatSmile:
Oh yeah
I’ll take a look
