they're more expensive than RL. Aime Leon Dore have a nice Americana look to some of their pieces with a good mix of some more modern styles. They represent Queens a lot in their clothes in each season. But they're a boutique and so they don't have staples like jeans, pants, shirts, underwear, etc., that are regularly in stock in various sizes.
I've been wearing Polo for 30 years and I expect to wear it for many more years to come. Polo Bear is by far my favorite from them but I'll wear pieces from all of their collections and mix and match.

RL has rightfully earned the term classic. I really liked this write up of his brand. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Sep 13, 18:09 3
- Definitely a classic American brand. I listened to a fascinating podcast about Ivy School fashion which rightfully focused heavily on RL. - Krusty Sep 13, 18:19 2
  - Interesting, I should look for that podcast. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Sep 13, 18:25 1
