$115 for a tie?
$49.50 for a tee shirt?
$125 for a polo?

Ouch, the Roots gear 4 years ago was half as expensive.

They look horrible, price aside. Why would I want to walk around looking like an uber-patriotic jockey with Chinese characters running down my leg? I would wear an Olympic shirt if my parents for some reason shelled out the cash to go to Beijing to see it and brought me home a t-shirt, but otherwise nah. But if I'm to wear any of the new Ralph Lauren sh!t it seems that I'm going to also need a horse.

A fool and his money are soon parted. Make it twice as expensive and you only have to sell half as much.

I think RL can makes some nice clothes at decent price, if you find them on sale. But that stuff is just embarrassing. Hmm lemmie think... stoopid shirt in the left hand... or two weeks worth of food in the right...
