One of the Black Watch players, an Argentine named Ignacio Figueras, had already been a Ralph Lauren model before the sponsorship started and is featured wearing some of the Black Watch line on Ralph Lauren Official Website

Less glamorous has been the ongoing litigation between Ralph Lauren and others that have tried to capitalize on the sport. In the latest case, the designer alleged that four logos with polo players the polo association had licensed to clothing maker Jordache infringed on Polo trademarks, but a jury approved all but one of the association’s logos. Ralph Lauren appealed, and the case is scheduled to go before the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in October. Mr. Ferguson said that the volume of litigation has tapered off.

The company, meanwhile, is saddling up for higher-profile events. For the third consecutive year, it is sponsoring the United States Open in Flushing Meadows, Queens, which began last week; for the last two years, the company also has sponsored Wimbledon.

At last year’s United States Open, the company’s 2,500-foot retail store on the stadium grounds had more transactions than any of its other nearly 300 retail stores, though a spokesman declined to give actual sales figures.

Sometimes paying a little extra can definitely pay dividends because that little extra quality makes you feel good, and feeling good can boost your confidence. If you buy clothes for situations where personal relationships are important invest as much as you can. By the way this is not an excuse nor encouragement to run-up credit card debt! Fix a budget you can handle and stick within it, but perhaps pay more for one item and postpone the other item till next month.

Fashionable Jackets

Ralph Lauren has a contract to run the design empire he founded, Polo Ralph Lauren, that does not expire for another year. But Mr. Lauren, the indefatigable fashion icon, has already re-upped through March 2013, when he will be 73. His five-year extension could be worth much more than 0 million, and that’s not counting the reimbursement for the mandatory use of private jets and helicopters for all of his business and personal travel.

Mr. Lauren, the chairman and chief executive, will receive a salary of .25 million as well as annual bonuses of as much as .5 million. And each year he will also get 100,000 options and 75,000 shares of restricted stock, currently worth more than million. PATRICK McGEEHAN

DIALING MR. BROWN Ever since Carl C. Icahn started rattling the cages at Motorola in January, people have been wondering how long Edward J. Zander, the ch
ief executive, would last. Last week the pressure heated up as the company reported its second consecutive quarterly loss after failing to come up with a hot-selling replacement for the Razr cellphone.

Thomas J. Meredith, Motorola’s chief financial officer, said the company’s board supports Mr. Zander and is not searching for a replacement. But industry analysts say Gregory Q. Brown, the company’s chief operating officer, could soon replace Mr. Zander. They add that few people have all the skills needed to run a cellphone maker. KEN BELSON

HEIR SHOW It will be family night on Wednesday for the scions of two famous American clans at the big annual air show in Oshkosh, Wis.

Edsel B. Ford II, a Ford director and great-grandson of the company’s founder, Henry Ford, will team up with Eric Lindbergh, the grandson of Charles Lindbergh. They will introduce a showing of “The Spirit of Saint Louis,” the classic film starring Jimmy Stewart, at the EAA AirVenture, billed as the country’s biggest show for private aviation.

Mr. Lindbergh, the pilot, and Mr. Ford, the auto company founder, were friends, while Edsel Ford is known as an aviation buff. His presence is just part of the auto company’s expanded role at the show, which attracts 650,000 people a year. Ford, which has been the main corporate sponsor for AirVenture since 1999, will use it this year as a mini-car show. It will display vehicles like the Flex, a crossover scheduled to be introduced in 2008, and offer test drives and seminars.

Of course, Ford’s chief executive, Alan R. Mulally, is the company’s biggest current link to aviation: he joined Ford last year from Boeing. But Mr. Mulally will not be attending the show. MICHELINE MAYNARD
