Ralph Lauren $1,200 Haul (From the Kid's Section)
About this video
McGoff tries on approximately $1200 worth of Ralph Lauren boys department clothing to evaluate fit and quality for shorter men. He reviews various items including button-ups, polos, joggers, dress pants, and a sport coat, comparing the fit to his previous Brooks Brothers boys section haul and assessing whether Ralph Lauren offers a viable alternative to men’s department shopping.
Key takeaways
- McGoff finds Ralph Lauren boys sizes fit better overall than Brooks Brothers boys sizes, though extra larges still run slightly large
- McGoff recommends sizing down from XL to Large or Medium in most Ralph Lauren boys items, and notes that tailoring (hemming, tapering, waist suppression) is often necessary
- McGoff argues that Ralph Lauren boys section offers good value and high-quality construction compared to men’s department alternatives, making it worth exploring for men who struggle with fit
