If your luxury brand has a giant logo you are purchasing regular goods at an increased price.

Actual luxury brand items are typically not heavily branded.

I’ve got some old polo shirts from my dad’s closet that I still wear. The material is sturdy, easy to clean, and doesn’t noticeably fade over time. Tiny little logo on the breast, but it’s this shade of blue I swear you can’t find in stores anymore. Looks good, fits good, feels good on my skin. This shirt is easily 20 years old.

I got to the store to buy a new polo and the logo is practically across my chest. The stitching is already fraying. Fades after the first wash. Paper thin and easily torn. It’ll be in the rag pile inside two years.

They really don’t make’m like they used to

You can find nice polo. But it’s $100+ shirts not sold at the outlets.

You can find good shirts, but polo has gone to shit. And a bunch of the major outlets have gone to shit. You can’t find decent clothes at Dillards or even Macys anymore. Its all been Walmart-ified.

And even the boutique brands very rapidly decay, once they cement their reputations as “high quality”.
