    OK so my friend ordered me one of these from the Ralph Lauren store.
    Normally I wouldnt go into Ralph Lauren as its overpriced tat..

    However this was for a cause so I said yes (only if it all goes to the cause and apparently it is 100%)
    It costs 10,000 yen and its for just a white polo shirt and some writing on the front with a Japanese flag.

    then someone pointed me to the fact that you can get black/blue versions of these

    http://www.ralphlauren.com/family/i...cp=1760781&ab=int_031911_HP_JAPANHOPE_HELPNOW

    What peeved me off was the fact that the version we get here has less stuff on it (not the writing on the back).
    yes Im moaning but its racism darn it!
    It comes from the same factory probably so why is one territory getting a certain design (as well as some colours) and another getting less on it..

    I don't buy Ralph Lauren b/c they're so gay looking.

    The Ralph Lauren shirt looks tacky as hell. I did get some of the other shirts released for the earthquake, like the Fragment Design and W)Taps ones.

    Ralph Lauren polo's suck anyway. Overpriced shit, even if it was for charity.
