This listing is two-fold. I'm taking offers on my pullover because I've been interested in purchasing a smaller size for some time now and I also wanted to alert everyone to fake listings popping up on ebay.
RL has embarked on a "turnaround strategy" for the future under their new CEO, Patrice Louvet. That is why they've been re-releasing vintage items. It's a way to bring back the nostalgia Polo created in the early to mid 90's.
Since the re-releases, I've been c...hecking ebay for pullovers and began to notice some questionable listings on the cheap passing themselves off as authentic. At first, I didn't really care but the prices began to increase. Some of them are more expensive than the re-release themselves. There will come a time when people list their re-release without receipts/tags on ebay and it will be more difficult to tell what's real from sketchy.
With that being written, I'm doing my part to make everyone aware. I've posted close up pic's of my original pullover and re-released vest for reference. Just pay attention to the details of my original, compare them to the re-released pullover and you will see slight consistencies that differ from the knock-offs. I won't say what they are as to give anything away, but the pic's I listed are for a reason. I will say if you come across a seller that has them in bulk with no tags/receipts, be cautious. Also, be mindful of the materials. Shortcuts were taken to increase profit margins and it shows. I'm not a trademark attorney. I'm just a consumer that expects a genuine item in exchange for the money I'm spending. I hope other users with real pullovers take note. Keep your receipts/tags in case you decide to sell one day and take detailed pic's. Your doing yourself and any potential buyer a favor.
As for my Snow Beach, it's an original I purchased from ebay back in 2013. I've posted receipts of my transaction. In 2013, there were no vintage re-releases, hence no knock-offs so you don't have to question its authenticity.
