THIS "RETRO SPIRIT" COLLECTION WAS RELEASED BACK IN 2013 AND MADE IT'S ONLY APPEARANCE IN THE LAST TRADITIONAL "PORSCHE DESIGN" DRIVER'S SELECTION CATALOG OF THE MODEL YEAR 2013. IN THE SUMMER OF 2013, PORSCHE REDESIGNED IT'S MERCHANDISE CATALOG INTO WHAT THEY NOW CALL "SELECT MAGAZINE ~ PORSCHE DRIVER'S SELECTION". THIS WAS DONE TO LOWER THEIR MERCHANDISE CATALOG COST AND ORIGINALLY THE INTENT WAS TO MAKE THIS "MAGAZINE" QUARTERLY. QUICKLY THIS WENT INTO SEMI-ANNUALLY, THEN ANNUALLY. YOU SORT OF HAVE TO FEEL BAD FOR THIS DIVISION AS THERE ALL OVER THE BOARD... TO THIS DAY! BUT, ONE THING FOR SURE AND THAT IS THEY SCREWED UP THE CLASSIC "DRIVER'S SELECTION" CATALOG! SOMEDAY THEY WILL STRAIGHTEN OUT THEIR ACT....... SOME DAY!
AS WITH MOST OF THEIR "COLLECTION" ITEMS WHICH THEY HAVE DEVELOPED AND MARKETED ALONG THE DECADES, THEY DESIGNED A SPECIAL LOGO TO GO ALONG WITH THE THEME IN MIND. THIS LOGO STATES WHAT THIS COLLECTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN NAMED AND THAT IS "CLASSIC PORSCHE"! BUT, THEY OPTED FOR "RETRO SPIRIT" INSTEAD ... GO FIGURE!
THIS LOGO IS NOT THE ONLY FEATURE OR APPLIQUE ON THIS POLO. IN ADDITION TO A VERY NICELY EMBROIDERED PATCH WHICH BECOMES THE THEME/LOGO, ON THE CHEST OF THIS POLO YOU HAVE IN "CLASSIC" PORSCHE SCRIPT, THE WORD "PORSCHE" EMBROIDERED IN GOLD THREAD. THIS "PORSCHE" SCRIPT, USES THE CLASSIC 356 HOOD LOGO WHICH HAS ALL OF THESE LETTERS CONNECTED WITH AN UNDERLYING LINE. THE PATCH LOGO IS PLACED/SEWN ON THE RIGHT ARM TO COMPLETE THIS POLO.
THIS POLO IS MADE FROM 100% COTTON AND IS MADE IN PORTUGAL. THE MATERIAL IS PIQUE IN STYLE AND IS A HEAVY WEIGHT MAKING IT A GOOD YEAR ROUND CASUAL SHIRT. THIS WOULD BE THE SAME MATERIAL THAT THEY WOULD USE IF THIS WERE A RUGBY STYLE SHIRT! IT'S STRONGER, MORE DURABLE AND LASTS A LOT LONGER THEN ANY TRADITIONAL FABRIC.
THE TWO (2) BUTTONS LOCATED ON THIS POLOS PLAQUE ALSO HAVE THE PORSCHE LOGO ON THEM (IN SCRIPT & PICTURED).
NIBWT = NEW IN BAG W/TAG!!
THIS IS A EURO SIZE EXTRA LARGE (XL) WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO A USA SIZE LARGE (L).
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL "PORSCHE DESIGN" DRIVER'S SELECTION POLO SHIRT. IF YOU WERE TO HAVE HANDY THE "PORSCHE DESIGN" DRIVER'S SELECTION CATALOG OF 2013 HANDY AND WERE TO OPEN UP TO PAGES 50/51 AND LOOK UNDER THE HEADING "COLLECTIONS RETRO SPIRIT" .... THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS POLO (I ALSO HAVE A PICTURE OF THIS COPY):
"[3] MEN'S POLO SHIRT. DETAILS IN RETRO SPIRIT DESIGN: APPLIQUE ON SLEEVE. EMBROIDERED PORSCHE LOGO ON CHEST. BUTTONS WITH PORSCHE LOGO. NECKBOARD IN CHECKERED PATTERN. 100% COTTON. IN PATRIOTIC BLUE. SIZES: S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL. IMPORTED. WAP 752 00S-3XL 0D /$120.00"
ONCE AGAIN, THIS POLO IS BUILT LIKE A RUGBY SHIRT ONLY IN A SHORT SLEEVED VERSION. IT HAS THE SAME COLLAR AND TWO (2) BUTTON PLAQUE AS THEIR RUGBY SHIRTS HAVE.
AS THEY MENTION, THIS POLO HAS A CHECKERED NECKBOARD. UNFORTUNATELY THEY DID NOT CONTINUE THIS DESIGN ONTO THE BUTTON PLAQUE.
THE COLLAR AND SLEEVES HAVE AN ELASTIC STYLE CUFF.
MOST FOLKS WILL AND DO ASSOCIATE THIS "RETRO SPIRIT" COLLECTION WITH THE 356. AND FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, THEY ARE NOT TOTALLY INCORRECT HERE! BUT, THIS THEME GOES WELL WITH ALL "CLASSIC" PORSCHES TO INCLUDE THE 911 AND 912. BUT, NO WHERE ON THESE POLOS DO THEY HAVE ANY VEHICLE MODEL NUMBERS ON THEM.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THEY DO A FAR BETTER JOB SHOWING ALL OF THE DETAILS OF THIS "PERFORMANCE POLO" VS. MY WORDS HERE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE SOME ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK AWAY AND I WILL RESPOND IN KIND.
WHEN LAST CHECKED (4/29/17), THIS POLO HAS AN ACTIVE CURRENT ASKING PRICE OF $126.32 AND ALTHOUGH STILL SHOWING "AVAILABLE" IN THIS SIZE LISTED IN A VERY LIMITED QUANTITY. IF YOU WERE TO GO TO YOUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ORDER THIS POLO BE PREPARED TO PAY FULL PRICE FROM ANY PCNA (PORSCHE CARS NORTH AMERICA) DEALERSHIP!
I HAVE A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY OF THESE POLOS AND I HAVE THEM IN A USA M AND USA XXL AS WELL. THESE ARE LISTED ELSEWHERE WITHIN MY EBAY STORE. SEE BELOW FOR AN EASY WAY TO LOCATE THESE.....
THIS NEW "PORSCHE DESIGN" RETRO SPIRIT PATRIOT BLUE POLO WILL BE SENT TO THE NEW OWNER VIA THE USPS IN A PADDED FLAT RATE ENVELOPE AND AS STANDARD A TRACKING NUMBER WILL BE ISSUED AND RELAYED TO YOU ON THE DAY THAT I SEND THIS SHIRT OFF TO YOU.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, THIS ITEM WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD A FEW RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". BY UTILIZING EBAY'S GSP THIS OFFERS "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDED PROTECTION FROM BUYERS WITH THIS STATE OF MIND AND ATTITUDE.
IN ADDITION, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DECLARE THIS ITEM FOR $20.00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND INSURE IT FOR IT'S ACTUAL VALUE, SO PLEASE, DO NOT ASK IF I WILL LOWER IT'S DECLARATION VALUE. BY USING EBAY'S GSP, THEY DETERMINE IF ANY "IMPORT FEES" ARE TO BE COLLECTED. I HAVE NO CONTROL OR SAY IN THIS MATTER, SO PLEASE DO NOT FAULT ME FOR THIS ACTION.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS MIGHT APPLY TO YOU.....
THIS IS A MULTIPLE LISTING BY ME (UNLESS THESE HAVE SOLD OFF) AND THIS OFFERING IS FOR ONLY ONE OF THESE LIMITED POLO'S, UNLESS YOU CHANGE THE QUANTITIES IN THE CHECKOUT. THESE ARE EVER SO LIMITED AND ARE CURRENTLY LISTED ON THE "ENDANGER SPECIES" LIST AS THESE WILL SOON BE "NLA" AS IN "NO LONGER AVAILABLE" AS THEY HAVE ALREADY SOLD OUT OF A FEW SIZES.
AS WITH ALL THINGS FROM THE DRIVER'S SELECTION CATALOGS, ONCE THEIR TIME HAS LAPSED AND A NEW CATALOG GETS PRINTED, THEY MOVE ON!!
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME A CHECKING ME OUT! NOW THAT YOUR HERE, YOU MIGHT JUST WANT TO TAKE THE EXTRA TIME AND CHECK OUT SOME OTHER COOL AND UNUSUAL PORSCHE, "PORSCHE DESIGN", BENTLEY AND AUDI ACCESSORIES THAT I HAVE LISTED IN MY E-BAY STORE THIS WEEK/MONTH...... (AND YES..... THERE ARE SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE PRETTY COOL OUT THERE AND NOT PORSCHE RELATED ... WELL SOME AT LEAST!!).
THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS WOULD BE TO TAKE A "WALK" THROUGH MY STORE AND TO DO THIS, ALL ONE WOULD NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT LITTLE "RED" OR "BLUE" DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE (JUST BELOW MY SELLERS NAME AND FEEDBACK TALLY) AND A SINGLE CLICK WILL "OPEN" THE DOOR TO MY STORE....
IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE YOUR SEARCH, ONCE YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY, YOU WILL SEE THAT TO THE LEFT THEIR IS A "SEARCH BAR" ... IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE MY "PORSCHE MUSEUM" LISTINGS ONLY, SIMPLY TYPE IN "PORSCHE MUSEUM" AND CLICK ON SEARCH. NOW ONLY THOSE MUSEUM ITEMS THAT ARE LISTED WILL POP-UP. IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME 75 YEAR ITEMS, TYPE IN "75 YEAR" AND YOU GOT IT ... ONLY MY ACTIVE AND LISTED PORSCHE 75 YEARS LISTINGS WILL POP-UP.... I THINK YOU GET IT NOW....
SO NOW THE REAL FUN STARTS......
AS ALWAYS, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON THIS NEW "PORSCHE DESIGN" RETRO SPIRIT PATRIOT BLUE POLO/SHIRT AND FOR ANY OTHER CONSIDERATIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE GIVEN ME IN THE PAST.
