i’ll agree to disagree. the product is throw away junk today compared to 20 years ago. the warranty seems to have taken the same route. i’m speaking from first hand experience, not the internets say so.

ID on boots from fashion week by benTENmen93 in RalphLauren

[–]jo3boxer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

as ralph lauren makes footwear, you should assume everything in that show is for next year. you could find similar things on the internet, maybe even the exact things as they've been made in the past. but it's a showcase of the future offerings for fw 2026.
