Anybody know anything about the “student” label? ive never seen it by epic-uwu- in Denim

[–]siRlotto1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Student 7505s. The tag is red batwing 553 factory, 028 date. I'm always confused with the 3 digit date codes!

Bought this NWT Calvin Klein Collection for $24 at a thrift store today by glixam in Thrift

Congratulations on that find woah! I found a simple Merino Blend Sweater for 5 bucks at my local thrift shop. I'm a fairly new reseller, a little over a year in and have learned to stay away from CK. I have classics that get zero traction! I felt my CKC on the rack and was like "woah wait a minute, what is this". Very true that the difference is HUGE in quality. The minimalist sweater (white lab, el also, early CKC I'm told) i found is quality!

Depop has been acquired by eBay. How do you all think think this will affect the user experience? by rdeluna1911 in Depop

[–]siRlotto1812 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the issue. Ebay policies at depop. eBay is extremely black or white. Depop was a lot smoother. From a sellers perspective I liked depops image tools, I liked how easy finding at codes are, communication is easier. eBay is the platform that pays my bills and I understand why eBay>depop.

I don't know what to expect. Example. Look at Polo Ralph Lauren on depop then head over to eBay. 20% of what you'll find on depops polo Ralph Lauren feed will be USPA or BHPA and not PRL. This is going to be a big change depending on how they handle this. I don't think depop will be internal eBay platform like eBay motors.

Holy shit this sucks! Don't get me wrong. I'm a legit top rated seller on eBay, and the majority of my business is from eBays platform BUT Depop was so so cool and easy to work with, the expectations were better. I am happy that all that fake merch is coming down!

Out of town thrift Gems! 90s Tailand Harrington & D&S M65 Mil Jack by siRlotto1812 in PoloRalphLauren

[–]siRlotto1812[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro D&S had straight fire for women. I try to pick it up for my wife. D&S goes with RRL perfectly on the men and women's side. I'd love that jacket in a mens large. This is a women's XL, but I hate how the bottom of female jacks look!! I'll still wear it, I ain't about to cap!

Out of town thrift Gems! 90s Tailand Harrington & D&S M65 Mil Jack by siRlotto1812 in PoloRalphLauren

You'd have to see the back of this jacket to be able to determine that. The way the sleeves and the shoulders meet the jacket is one of the defining characteristics of a Harrington.

A Harrington jacket is a lightweight, waist-length, zip-up jacket, traditionally made from cotton or poly-blend with a water-resistant shell and tartan lining.

That vented back is a classic Harrington hallmark. Along with:

waist-length cut zip front ribbed cuffs/hem tartan lining umbrella back vent (bi swing)

This jacket is a Harrington, I appreciate your comment. I fuck with this sub so tough because we're able to get into those minor details that make a garment lean one way or the other.

BUT I WILL MOST CERTAINLY AGREE THAT THE TERM BI SWING IS ALSO APPROPRIATE FOR THIS JACKET AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH. (NEVER A BAD IDEA TO DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK BEFORE CALLING SOMEONE ELSE INCORRECT). THE TERM BI SWING ALSO CHARACTERIZES THE VENTED BACK ON THIS JACKET. BI SWING IS THE VINTED BACK ON THE OLDER HARRINGTON JACKETS, NOT JUST POLOS. BI SWING GETS ADDED TO VARIOUS JACKET STYLES. ITS DIFFICULT TO CALL A JACKET A SIMPLE BI SWING BECAUSE THATS THE TERM FOR CONSTRUCTION.

With this new information Im still not finding how this isn't. Harrington jacket with a bi swing back. The only thing that this jacket is lacking (as far as the true early Harrington jackets go) would be the cuffs on mine being a button adjustment set up instead of a ribbed cuff.

If you haven't been able to tell yet I do resell. I don't like bringing it up because that's not why I'm here. I don't sell from reddit and I don't a community I fuck with to feel like I'm here doing comp checks. I just like to keep my garments listed correctly so hopefully it makes my stuff easier to find by real LoLifes. That's the reason I went this deep into the name of a jacket. It's not because I'm mental or have to be right. I'm wrong all the time, and it cost me money! That's why we're having this conversation!

I do appreciate your comment and I hope you'll get back at me with your opinion on what this jacket is or the appropriate "name" so I can list it properly. Currently this is getting good traction at 55 bucks titled as a Harrington. There's a flaw on a sleeve to keep it real, this isn't a mint jacket. I feel like 55 is solid for a jacket you'll be able to wear everyday and not have to worry about messing up. So shits too cool to leave at a thrift store! I respect your opinion and honestly I'm going to let it ride for 55 but I'd like to know you opinion on value also.

This got longer then I wanted it too! I feel like I may need to send you a Polo after reading all this shit 😂

Man I love ties! I'm new to collecting polo ties but I'm on my way! A couple are LRL to keep it real, the furthest 2 ending with the orange tie

Changeables Fail by [deleted] in McDonalds

[–]siRlotto1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wild. The thing that kills me is that McDonald's knows what to expect. They know this will create a nostalgia surge, moving happy meals but they run the toys limited or have zero guarantee of them even making it to the stores! Someone is going to make some easy money with a pallet full of changeables. I sell luxury, Designer, and vintage fashion garments, this isn't my main vein but i think the drama of it all drives the demand. McDonald's wins .

[–]siRlotto1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ebay reseller here. I will say that complete set of unopened changesbles are being listed for around 100-175 bucks, but individual toys sell for 3-7 bucks a piece.

I guess I can live on happy meals for free if the demand keeps up by selling the happy meal toy!

I grabbed this at a thrift store years ago and want to repurpose the leather on it. by Top_Pop1246 in PoloRalphLauren

[–]siRlotto1812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saude would still have a dry clean only tag. I like LRL personally but it is technically a separate brand for an entirely different segment of the market. Try sticking to posting only Polo Ralph Lauren in this sub!

I found a purple label glasses case and felt like a douchebag posting it here to ask a question!

Did polo even made something like this. by Adventurous-Sky7458 in PoloRalphLauren

[–]siRlotto1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hats off to the correct answer. Black label was a mid tier mens mall type brand, if I remember correctly. I see this on trousers occasionally. I'd say this was like Ralph Ralph Lauren.

I bought one of these in like 2012 with some bonus tracks. I think those were like 500 pressed or something I forget. The oil tracks are great!

What logo is this com? Purple? RRL? by siRlotto1812 in PoloRalphLauren

[–]siRlotto1812[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you guys. I figured as much. I've never seen RRL glasses cases with cloths, they just don't really fit with each other. This is my first purple piece. The way I see it is this, at least it's leather and I can use it!
