I like to feature some of the new Polo Ralph Lauren flavor that I see come from the new designers at the brand, but none of them can create the anticipation or the excitement of the designs that were released in 1992. This is the year that the P-Wing collection exploded on the scene as well as the Stadium series which featured an embroidered patch that proclaimed the year of the collection.
For all the ‘Lo lifestyle heads that ran around New York City there were still some underground spots in Manhattan that held sick I.T.s in their stock. B.F.O. on Fifth Avenue was one of my favorite stops to copp the lifestyle. This spot was strictly for Brooklyn heads and the brands they carried matched the B.K. aesthetic. Brooklyn’s swagger was totally different from Harlem and from Queens. Brooklyn liked to rock the flashiest vines while Harlem was more into their kicks.
So a Brooklyn cat was more likely to sport some Moschino gear and Le Coq sneakers while the Harlem kids were cool with Carhartt and the latest and greatest Air Maxes from Paragon Sports. Incidentally, Paragon Sports is still in business and they even have a Polo Ralph Lauren section. Paragon is the last of the great sporting goods retailers. No matter what shit you do they have the gear for it. Even the most random white dude shit of the moment like skiing on the single sit-down ski. They got that.
As I start to to pull out my archives for one big eBay auction I have been searching the site to see what vintage Polo Ralph Lauren items are being sold for (and more importantly, who is buying them). I came across this auction for a vintage P-Wing fleece jacket exactly like the one that I sold on eBay back in 2000 for $325. The P-Wing series is one of my favorites because of the colorblocking design used on the garments which has a classic athletic look. The red, white and blue colorways are also my favorite.
The seller has listed the jacket at $1,340 dollars. I’m feeling slightly pwned for not keeping that jacket in my collection along with some of the other graphic I.T.s that I sold. Vintage Polo Ralph Lauren clothing is doing as well as, if not better than real estate over the same time period.

was at Paragon a few months back shopping for some winter wear w/ my girl, i was delighted to see they had a RL section but to my dissapointment had less variety than your run of the mill Macy’s
As a prof’s Ebayer with over 1000 to my credit, I must caution the young there are def REAL items on the net but if you got it, hold it…PLEASE!
I remember when I gave up my RL 2000 Bear Knit for this P Wing Track Jacket with my boy Nom from Brooklyn….those were the days. Unfortunately I sold my whole closet to pay off my last 2 years of college…gave up my Lo for a college degree…not a bad deal..wudup to Dallas btw..met you at the Nike X- Mas party ..one
what up Verse,
You was that Jersey cat with the North Face joint on? Yeah mayne back in 2000, I was liquidating all my joints from 1985 to 1995 that were size L and M. I held on to my XL joints with the dream that i would get back in ’em one day. I think its time for me to sell all my shit now and build me a spaceship off this planet.
You make me miss my youth everytime you drop one of these BK related Drops,I remember Paul Robeson High(Ironically I found out from my Old King,who I just met after 32 yrs. went there when it was Alexander Hamilton Vocational)before the metal detectors,going on “Meows” downtown,bagging shorties @ the Stillwell Station Aww Mann…
