Burberry Polos in Toronto

[Tofu Drift Shinji]

My only guess is Holt Renfrew. Does anyone know for sure where I can find myself a Burberry polo?

They have them tagged and attached to an alarm system; just like the security used for high-end computers and printers at places like Futureshop and Staples.

and how much does a burberry polo cost? are they pricier than lacoste polos?

[Anessa]

Yorkville boutiques?

and how much does a burberry polo cost? are they pricier than lacoste polos?

Not sure how much one would cost at a boutique or holt's, but i've seen them sold at the outlets in buffalo for about $70US. Mind you, these were outlets, and I don't remember what the original price was. I'm guessing around $100 USD

The ones I saw at Sporting Life in Sherway Gardens were about $120 - $200.

wow...and i think the lacoste polos go for $98 at the store on bloor...does the quality of the burberry shirts justify the $20+ price difference...

I think I've seen them at the Harry Rosen store on Bloor near Bay.

They're about 110ish

Why the hell are people blowing more than $25 on a polo I will never know. As long as it's fitted, wear it.

Kids these days are not learning how to invest early on, it shows with threads like these :confused: :confused:

I mean not to rag on anyone that obviously HAS the money to spend of course, then by all means shop on! ;)

yeah, i know what you mean....i'd spend more than $25 on a polo, but i have a hard time trying to justify spending over $100 for one....

there's someone in the b/s/t forum selling a brand new lacoste polo in my size (i think) for $80, and although it's selling for $98 at the bloor store, i'm still on the fence on whether it's worth it or not...right now, i don't think it is, but i have a feeling i might break down over the weekend :lol:

Vaughan Mills Lacoste Outlet is selling for 78 plus tax. Its real at least.

Here are a few questions: Do you know how much money I have to spend?

Do you know my investing habits?

Do you know me?

Obviously I'm not admitting that I'm as rich as you. Why would I do that? I don't even know you. But the same goes for you. You don't know me. You don't know anything about me.

And I resent being generalized as a "kid" that doesn't know how to invest. It is my choice not to invest every single penny I earn. Furthermore, it is none of your business how much I earn and how much I put away.

This is the fashion forum, and not the investment forum. If I wanted investment advice, I'd ask in the investment forum. Notice that I haven't.

If you don't have any constructive, on topic comments to make, then please check your attitude and take your inflammatory remarks elsewhere.

thanks for the info

A nice shirt is a good investment.

You get what you pay for when it comes to fashion. I own 2 Burberry polos and a long sleve Burberry shirt, I also own a few $25 polos - you can definitly feel the difference in the shirts, softer fabric, higher thread count, precise stitching and better style .

Go to a store, try on a shirt and look in the mirror. You will notice a difference.

[Anessa]

You could try Queen St. Bay. They have upscale and expensive shirts as well.

[GateGuardian]

Harry Rolson.....$75ish during their sales

[Anessa]

I wonder if they're really made in England or more like assembled in Shenzhen and completed in Britain.

[Cafe_333]

:-0 wow...and i think the lacoste polos go for $98 at the store on bloor...does the quality of the burberry shirts justify the $20+ price difference...I think the quality does, but not by a large margin either. At the very least you're also paying for a more recognizable brand name that many would say has a higher status than lacoste.

[Mems]

Hmm, I'm one who doesn't particularly like Burberry polos. Their logo is kinda ugly. I saw one once for $50 US in an outlet mall but passed on it. I like how the inside part of the collar had the trademark burberry pattern on it though, but it didn't make up for the logo in my eyes. I'd definitely get myself one if they come out with a new logo in later seasons.

Edit - oh yeah, and the material seemed much heavier than the Lacoste polos I own.

Well, obviously I read it, or I wouldn't have quoted it. Unfortunately, you don't seem to see my point that your calling me a "kid" riles me up, because my having started this topic implies I'm a kid that doesn't know how to invest.

Oh, and calling me a dumbass really doesn't sit well with me either. You'll notice that when I have a disagreement with someone, I make sure I leave offensive personal remarks (implied or otherwise) out of it. But it's a good thing I have thick skin :)

I'd remind you to check your attitude, but I know that kind of advice will just be ignored ;)

I just bought one last week @ Sporting Life for $98.

Maybe they're selling some B grade items or something..

We can agree to disagree or you can continue to tell me I don't understand your implicit meanings (believe me, I do), or that I can't read, or that I'm a rich snob or that I'm a dumbass, but it's not going to look any better for either of us, and it's especially not going to look any better for you since you're already breaking out those serious block letters.

I could go on about what I think you mean, but they would just be moot points among your rebuttals. Being responded to in ad hominem doesn't quite make for a clean debate.

Now, I'm going to take the high road and drop it. Do what you have to.

[red_roses101]

Hey! Let Borat buy his Poloes...he has senses of fashions...plus his monies from his new picture will allow him to buy Polo-shirt. Also, he can finally let Natalia quit her job.

Back on topic, are the styles here different then the ones in Asia? I saw some Burberry golf shirts at Harry Rosen, but they looked so bad (at least the ones they had.)
Also I like the tread count on the Burberry polos. They are totally comfortable but how do they compare to Lacoste? I never looked into Lacoste, can anyone give me a comparison?

[rayesyn]

$25 for a pole....thats still a bit much.

Champs Sports had 3 polos for $24.99 last month :D.........lol. guess who got himself 6 new polo tops :evil:

Natalya has to defend family honor as number two or three prostitute in all of Kazakhstan.

On topic: That's a shame about the Lacoste outlet running out of the "regular" sizes. I would liked to have gotten some of that, but the locale is a little out of the way :(

[Pete00]

Harry Rosen - around $110 retail, $60-70 w/ employee discount.

[hugejazz]

Lacoste has colors that are more vibrant, more "spring-like". The style is more casual and sporty (infact, there is a line called Lacoste Sport).

Burberry on the other hand is formal-casual. The color selection is slim (White, Black, Gray), however most of their polos have the trademark Burberry pattern under the collar, this adds for a very distintive look. Burberry polos are thicker because of a higher thread count, however, Lacoste polos feels smoother and softer.

They are both good. You can't go wrong with either.

[loungegirl]

I will be doing some outlet shopping in the U.S this weekend. (either to Buffalo or Grove City) I'm also looking into buying Burberry polo tops (for girls). Just to compare prices, I'll see how much Men's Burberry Polos are going for in the States.

Paying > $25 for any polo, let alone $100 + is beyond logic, it's stupidity, and it was my opinion. I didn't attack the OP or any poster in specific in my post, I was just questioning the validity of people's spending habits. It's a rhetorical post, meaning you don't answer to it, since it's not specified to you. If you, like OP read my last line, it states if you're rich enough to afford it, then by all means BUY IT.

OP having a bad eyeglass prescription took something to heart and personally attacked me, singling my name out (when in my post I stated no names ;) )

Get over it kids.

On Canada Day 2 mths ago, the Burberry outlet store on that "military road" or whatever in Niagara Falls, NY... had all the burberry polos for just $40.

of course, all the good colors / sizes were gone by the time i looked through it.

too bad i'm not an XXXL fatso who likes hunter green.

[taro-chan]

Hmm, in HK there was many shades of color for Burberry and many different styles. But ya, I guess I'll look into Lacoste and do a formal comparison myself. Thanks.
As for the cost of Burberry polos... 120ish CDN is a good estimate. (Not sure about the golf line, I beleive that was about 90ish at Harry Rosen.)

Just got back from Grove City & Buffalo. Men and ladies Burberry polos are $59.99US. They had a wide selection of solid colours (red, white, blue, black, beige, yellow, gray) with the signature check pattern along the side of the buttons. I was surprised -it was cheaper than I expected.

Thanks Anessa. I know Grove City does not have Burberry so I dropped by Buffalo on the way home. For those interested, there were a lot of PINK Burberry signature bags on sale. Starting at $249. (reg. $349)

i've been there before...that's pretty much THE outlet mall for me to go to when i go to buffalo...

hopefully they'll still be the same price (and have a lot of colours left) when i go back around october...

ps - you should have bought some extra polos and sold them here on the b/s/t forum :)

I'm not really into 'buying & selling'... besides, I wouldn't feel right profiting from a RFDer or if I were to re-sell it for a measly few extra dollars more, it doesn't seem worth the trouble. I think I would've actually picked up one for you guys (if you had asked me. =) I didn't end up buying one. I spoiled myself on bags instead.

Forgot to mention, there's a Burberry signature horse on the left side... just like a regular "Polo".

[konfusion666]

this is going to sound wrong, but i just try wearing most of the stuff i bought on the way back...

last time i went, i just wore a really old pair of shoes that i didn't care for anymore, then i just wore my new timberlands on the way back and threw the old shoes out...and timberlands are around $40 in the niagara falls outlet, so i'll probably go back and get another pair before winter starts...

it's harder for tops (and a lot harder for jeans, but i don't buy jeans in the states), but as long as you don't go overboard, it can be done...and it's definitely easier in the winter time when it's considered more appropriate to be wearing layers of clothing, along with a jacket as well...

i've heard stories of people getting caught for doing this, however, so use discrection

i think you're allowed to legally bring over $80 or so when you're in the states for less than a day...can someone correct me on this? when you see so many good deals at the outlet stores, it's really easy to go over $80....

i'm pretty sure i'm not the only here who finds ways to avoid paying sales tax at the border...we're all RFDers, after all :lol:

You're not allowed to bring anything back. There's no official $ exemption for a day trip. BUT this is RFD and we're creative enough to make our own exemptions. 3 days = $250, 1 day = $50, 7 days = $750. I wouldn't layer it so you look like the Michelin Man though. That's just asking for troubles. All I do is buy groceries and say the groceries is half of the amount I spent. Groceries aren't taxable so that helps. Of course, if I have to pay taxes then I'd use the least expensive receipts I have to pay the lowest amount possible.

[Anessa]

hey loungegirl...how did you find Grove City? I thought it was OKAY but nothing too spectacular. And it wasn't that big because I walked the whole thing in a day. I don't know why people say to stay overnight for. London Fog had good deals on women's wool overcoats :). BR wasn't great deals though GAP had some jeans for 14.99 with 20% off marked price. Oh man, I love shopping in USA.

[konfusion666]

There's no official $ exemption for a day trip.

Are you sure? Once we went for a 2 hour trip across purely to do some shopping, and we admitted as much on the way back. They asked to see receipts and since each person had spent $50 or less, they waved us through.

yeah, that's what parents used to do when i went cross-border shopping with them when i was a kid...

layering isn't that bad as long as it's not overdone....the last time i went, i think i bought three shirts, so wearing them on top of each other really didn't look noticeable at all...you can see people wearing that many layers at the local mall...

i think it's more practical than trying to hide boxes under the car seat, and having the attendant pick your car to pull over and have an officer take a look inside :!:

I have no idea how the $50/ day works...I think it's hit and miss really.

What are your personal exemptions?
After each absence of 24 hours or more
You can claim up to CAN$50 worth of goods without paying any duties. This is your personal exemption. You must have the goods with you when you arrive, and you cannot include tobacco products or alcoholic beverages in this exemption.

If the goods you bring in are worth more than CAN$50 in total, you cannot claim this exemption. Instead you have to pay full duties on all goods you bring in.

After each absence of 48 hours or more
You can claim up to CAN$200 worth of goods without paying any duties. You must have the goods with you when you arrive. Although you can include some tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, only a partial exemption will apply to cigarettes, tobacco sticks, or manufactured tobacco. You may have to pay a special duty on these products. You can find more details under the section “Tobacco and alcohol.”

After each absence of seven days or more
You can claim up to CAN$750 worth of goods without paying any duties. With the exception of tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, you do not need to have the goods with you when you arrive. Although you can include some tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, only a partial exemption will apply to cigarettes, tobacco sticks, and manufactured tobacco. You may have to pay a special duty on these products.

To calculate the number of days you have been absent, do not include the date you leave Canada, but include the date you return. Dates matter, not times. For example, we consider you to have been absent seven days if you left Friday the 7th and returned Friday the 14th.

Who is eligible for these exemptions?
You are eligible for a personal exemption if you are a:

Canadian resident returning from a trip outside Canada;
former resident of Canada returning to live in this country; or
temporary resident of Canada returning from a trip outside Canada.
Even young children and infants are entitled to a personal exemption. As a parent or guardian, you can make a declaration to the CBSA for a child, as long as the goods you are declaring are for the child’s use.

[Anessa]

Personally, I would rather pay some taxes than get my car overturned and inspected every inch. I mean getting waived through is the ideal situation but if the officer says you have to pay some taxes then okay I'll do my way and be done with it. I think some people try to get away with too much and then come on RFD and *****.

Grove City wasn't a big deal for me either. Not worth the 4hr drive since the Prime Outlets in Niagara have similar shops any way. There were only a few shops I was interested in. The sales seemed average; I bought mainly bags and baby clothes. Coach and Carter’s have the best deals! My best find was kids’ polo tops for $1.99US. Coming home, I removed tags from 1 of my 3 bags, a sweater (to wear because it was cold) and threw a pair of jeans with my luggage. I spent over $600 and declared $450. Since I got pulled over last time, (they didn’t tax me but it was a nerve-wrecking experience) I was ready with my receipts to pay the tax this time. Luckily, the customs guy let us through with asking just a few questions. I think overall, being ‘more honest’ and being prepared to pay the tax will reduce your chance in actually having to pay. It’s not worth the paper work for them but they don’t want to hear you lying. I stayed over 1 night because I didn't want to be in a rush... but again, not worth the 4hr drive for me.

Not worth staying over. Rooms aren't cheap there...lol. I prefer going to Woodbury...selection is better even though sales aren't as cheap.
