#8 RALPH

Goalz! 

To have the world know who you are by your first name. 

Your first name only. 

A surname is not necessary. 

RALPH 

I have been wearing RALPH for years. 

Long before I began to ride the way I do. 

I did another sport and loved to wear RALPH into the dressing room. 

It was my way of saying, ‘I know what I am doing.’ 

I still do that sport, and still wear RALPH. 

But why was I changing out of him? 

I wanted to keep RALPH on. 

Is RALPH doing anything I can wear on my rides? 

Yes. 

I had been focused on one facet of him. 

Neglecting the rest. 

I wanted to apologize to him. 

‘Sorry, RALPH, I have been wearing you, but changing out of you.’ 

I had no idea you had this side to you. 

A side that looks and performs beautifully on my rides. 

This was a few years ago. 

Since then, I wear RALPH at least two days a week on my rides. 

He has some beautiful ‘stuff.’ 

You have to dig around a bit, but it is there. 

The site is a little tame, but I am okay with that. 

RALPH is not about the ‘flash.’  

He is far more subtle. 

More refined. 

More, here it is, as it is. 

I like that. 

RALPH is smart. 

He knows who his audience is. 

What they like and what they will wear. 

With his Polos and Shorts, he starts safe with their placement on the site. 

It is not until you begin to scroll down, and get a few pages in, that the ‘fun stuff’ appears. 

What I do with RALPH is pick and choose. 

I pick something from the top of his page and mix it with something from the bottom of his page. 

A classic, quiet one-colour Polo, then add this to a classic, louder short. 

Or the other way around. 

It is a nice combo. 

The one thing I love most about RALPH’s Polos is their collars. 

They are different from every other Polo. 

Hard to describe, but I will do it the ‘TJ way.’ 

The collar on a RALPH Polo is a dress shirt collar, but on a Polo. 

It has a dress shirt shape and structure. 

Sharper, shorter, but soft.

You could almost call it a ‘Point Collar.’

I think people may avoid RALPH because they think they are going to be ‘priced out.’ 

You are in for a nice surprise. 

RALPH is very well-priced. 

I would go as far as to say he is one of the ‘cheaper ones.’ 

Especially when there is a sale on an item. 

A Polo for $69 or shorts for $59 is not out of the question. 

Haha, I swear, haha, this is the truth. 

While I was writing this, I stopped a few sentences back and bought a pair of shorts for $69. 

His Polos and Shorts have all the requirements of Performance wear. 

A slim fit, stretch fabric, moisture wicking, and lightweight. 

I love RALPH. 

I will come back to him many times in the future. 

Okay, enjoy the site. 

Finding ALL of his Golf Polos, and Golf Shorts is a little ‘tricky.’ 

Click on ‘Shop All Men’s/Shop All Women’s,’ then I suggest you use the ‘Filter and Sort’ to get into his Polos and Shorts.
