I am trying to identify a shirt I found that is a double RL. It is a heavy duty 100 percent cotton long sleeve. It was made in the USA and it’s like a dark gray. Refer to pictures below. What kind of shirt is this? Is it vintage? Does the color have a specific name?
Thanks!!

I don't think it has a specific name. They make different work shirts every season.

If you're looking for suggestions on what to call it for a listing, I would use the following keywords:

RRL
Double RL
Ralph Lauren
Workshirt

Sometimes people list RRL differently, so it helps to use "Double RL" and "Ralph Lauren"

In the description, I would call that a "grey cotton twill workshirt."

It's easier to tell if that's vintage from measurements. A size large shirt made in the last ten years should be somewhere around 23" from pit to pit. If the shirt is much larger than that, it may have been made in the '90s.
