Hello gentlemen,

this is my first post here and I would appreciate your opinion whether this overcoat looks good or not and
if there are some (Ralph Lauren) connaisseurs help me identify the time this Ralph Lauren Polo coat was made (maybe through the tags, cut or design elements? It has a "actwu" tag so it means it is constructed between 1976 and 1995. Can anyone be more precise then that?

Sorry for grammatical or spelling mistakes I am german.

All the best

Sebastian

I am not a Ralph Lauren expert but:

1. Not technically a "Polo Coat" because it does not have
a belt in the back or patch/flap pockets.

2. That is a US union label. So it is made in USA. I am not aware that
RL is still making high-end tailored clothing in the US.

3. A very elegant coat.

4. Here is a current equivalent:
