Ralph Lauren lines, and 'who makes what' - a definitive guide

[ld111134]

When Purple Label first started it was just tailored clothing, shirts and accessories. Then they added sportswear and eventually rolled Black Label and even RLX into the brand. It’s still quality stuff but the range has expanded.

It’s basically the clothing version of what’s happened with AMG.

AMG lost its luster and exclusivity when it starting cranking out smaller engines that may not have much “AMG” in them (less wholesale overhauling of stock MB mills), e.g. the GLC and GLE 43s, the 4-door GT 53s, the GLA 45, etc.

Are RLBL trousers usually have low rise ? Found this model, but seller give some vague information about measurements.

Yes, it's a more modern cut, which amongst other things usually features a lower rise.

it's lower raise not LOW LOW raise, also depends on the year it's actually not that slim (leg opening wise) by today's standard like I can definitely remember say a 2007 RLBL suit's leg opening for size waist 31 is like 8.125in or even 8.25in, though a 2011 or whatever their last year version would definitely have slimmer leg etc

Thank you all.
Another inquiry. Polo corduroy blazer, is it from early 00s or more recent collections ?
Just don't want bump in to slimmish fitting stuff, and russian sellers typically cant give measurements

Polo II won’t be too slim, those Cornelian could be from early 2000 to all the way to 2010?

 

[clee1982]

By the way I really like Polo II, I slim down mine a bit, definitely TTS for the smaller size

I had a MiUSA hounds-tooth blazer with the same tag. I have been told that this is late 80s-90s pre -Purple Label.

Does anyone know who makes the current tag Polo Ralph Lauren MiUSA sportscoats? I thought PRL MiUSA tailoring was long gone!
