Description
This is a classic Polo Ralph Lauren short-sleeve crew neck t-shirt in a lavender/pale purple colorway. It features the iconic signature embroidered pony logo on the left chest in a contrasting teal/green thread. The shirt has a soft cotton construction and a heat-transfer neck label for comfort. Perfect for casual wear or layering.
Key Features
Recognizable Ralph Lauren branding, popular pastel colorway, high-quality cotton construction, and iconic embroidered pony logo.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The heat-transferred 'POLO RALPH LAUREN' neck label font is correct for modern retail pieces. The embroidery of the pony is tight and detailed without 'birds-nesting' or connected threads. The stitching on the hem is consistent and even.
Flaws to Note
Significant wrinkling (requires steaming), mild fading along the neckline and seams from washing, and potential minor pilling underarms.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari are the best for this item. Depop is a secondary option if styled as 'Y2K' or 'Preppy'. Facebook Marketplace is good for local bundles.
