Polo Ralph Lauren Varsity Jacket Review

Whenever I’m in Hawaii, I always stop by Waikele Premium Outlets —
and my favorite store there is honestly Polo Ralph Lauren.

Most people think:

“Even at the outlet, Polo is still expensive… right?”

But honestly — the deals can be amazing.

This time I picked up a varsity jacket that got discounted twice at checkout, and the final price was:

👉 $567.06 (down from $798!)

I saved about $255 — no hesitation, I paid right away 😂

🚗 How to get to Waikele from Waikiki

There are a few easy ways to get there, depending on your plan and luggage.

🚘 Rent a car (my favorite option)

• 25–30 minutes
• Free parking
  👉 Perfect if you plan to shop a LOT.

🚌 Shuttle bus (super convenient)

Don’t want to drive? The shuttle is comfortable, air-conditioned, and picks you up directly in Waikiki.

👉 Reserve your Waikele shuttle here:

🚕 Uber / Lyft

• 25–30 minutes
• Around $35–45
  👉 Good for light shopping, not great if you’ll have many bags.

🛍 Polo store location + quick tips

Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store
94-790 Lumiaina St Suite 204, Waipahu, HI 96797

• Located near the center of the outlet
• Go early — popular sizes disappear fast
• The people leaving with huge shopping bags… usually came from here 🤭

🧥 Varsity jacket — honest wear review

• Heavier than expected (in a good way)
• Structured, premium-feeling fabric
• Clean embroidered patches + striped trims
• Works for campus style, casual looks, even golf
• Back in Korea, everyone keeps asking:
  “Where did you get that jacket?” 😂

I honestly wasn’t planning to buy it —
but once the discount stacked at checkout, it was an instant “yes.”

💡 How I actually got the discount

1️⃣ In-store outlet promotion

The price dropped automatically at checkout.

2️⃣ Extra 15% off using the SIMON app

(Not the Polo app — the outlet membership app.)

Just sign up, show the barcode, and they scan it.

📩 If the app doesn’t work, you can register your email at the store and still get the discount.

💸 Final price breakdown

• Original price: $798
• In-store promotion: –$159.60
• SIMON app 15% off: –$95.76
• Tax: +$24.42

👉 Final total: $567.06

Total savings: $255.36
(roughly KRW 350,000 saved!)

✨ My quick takeaway

“Downloaded the SIMON app, saw the discount, and bought it immediately.
After this, I don’t think I can buy Polo at full price anymore.
Next time I’m coming with an empty suitcase — and heading straight to Waikele first.” 😆🧳
