However, I noticed that my old Polo by Ralph Lauren shirts lost some of the color after few years of (delicate, careful) washing. The color is not so vivid and brilliant as when they were new. This color loss never happened on my other LACOSTE shirts, to name another premium quality brand, which year after year keep their original vivid color.
Therefore, considered the big difference of price between a Polo by Ralph Lauren shirt bought, say, in USA or Europe (price above 100 USD!) and a Polo by Ralph Lauren shirt bought in Batam (price around 40 USD), I suspected that an original Polo by Ralph Lauren manufactured in Indonesia and sold in Batam might be not exactly the same as one bought in New York. Big mistery for me.
