RALPH LAUREN’S PURPLE LABEL REACHES NEW ALTITUDES OF FORM, FIT, AND FINISHES

BY MATTHEW MIZRACH

Launched in 1994, 27 years after the eponymous brand’s debut, Ralph Lauren’s Purple Label found its focus in luxury menswear and accessories. With often bespoke products ranging from custom tailored suits and sportswear to footwear, furnishings, luggage, and beyond, this branch of RL is testament to just how prescient the company remains, over 50 years after its inception. Definitive pieces of the line are characterized by plush fabrications, custom fits, and Italian craftsmanship.

The Plaid Cashmere Balmacaan Coat seen here is a showcase Purple Label piece this season. Crafted of luxurious cashmere twill, it presents a combination grey and cream plaid patterns. Complete with long raglan sleeves (with adjustable cuffs), a trendy point collar, and removable belt with leather accents, this ultra luxury coat is a topper that will only wear better every year.
