REINFORCE YOUR WINTER WARDROBE WITH THIS SUMPTUOUS SHEARLING FROM THE EXCLUSIVE LUXURY COLLECTION OF ONE OF AMERICA’S MOST LIONIZED FASHION BRANDS

BY MATTHEW MIZRACH

Described by Ralph Lauren as “the antithesis to the dress-down trend,” Purple Label is one of the many brand sub-divisions that emerged during the mid-1990s, and it’s arguably the label closest to the founder’s heart. Eventually becoming his signature and most expensive line, Purple Label still maintains an understated, almost minimalist design palette that puts the finest fabrics and hand-tailored craftsmanship above all else. Fast forward to 2022, it has fully earned its reputation as the ultimate expression of luxury for the modern gentleman.

A stunning example of Purple Label’s elevated ethos, the Nigel Shearling garners instant style points with its plongé leather exterior, sourced from France and hand-crafted in Italy. Extraordinarily supple and lightweight, the jacket features a premium down fill and a dyed sheep shearling collar to add a protective layer of insulation that will safeguard against even the harshest of winter conditions. Notch lapels and an asymmetrical front zip add even more pizzazz, and a buckled self-belt with d-ring details at the waist serves as the pièce de résistance.
