About The Brand From an unconventional tie to one of the most iconic heritage brands of all time: Ralph Lauren splashed onto the scene in 1967 with a line of ties named Polo, nodding to the designer's love for the sport. A year later, the New York native expanded Polo from ties to a full menswear collection, offering classic American designs in fresh fabrications. In 1970, the designer reached another milestone and this time it was at Bloomingdale's, with the introduction of the first-ever in-store boutique dedicated to a single designer (even before Ralph Lauren itself had a freestanding store). Today the influence of Polo Ralph Lauren is unmistakable. With an instantly recognizable logo and a tradition of crafting luxurious designs rooted in American style, the brand is beloved around the world for its timeless sportswear and impeccable tailoring.FeaturesAn essential building block of the Ralph Lauren look, the iconic Polo blazer is the result of time-honored traditions spanning decades of impeccable design. Its doeskin wool was custom-developed in collaboration with Italian weavers to achieve a finer, softer, and lighter feel than anything before and finished to reduce shine. The soft shoulder, which harkens to classic American haberdashery, is achieved through meticulous interior tailoring that trims excess fabric and padding, followed by a unique pressing process. An elegant lapel roll and a lower button stance creates an ideal silhouette that can be worn both formally and casually.
