So here`s the deal. I am looking at this 100% linen blazer/sport coat by Polo Ralph Lauren (blue label). I never bought anything from Ralph Lauren in my life, I am more into classic italian brands like Corneliani, Pal Zileri, Zegna, Caruso and so on. So to cut the story short, the reason I am looking at it is that it has this nice grey glen plaid pattern that I was looking for and it has soft unconstructed shoulders that I like. The price for this BNWT sport coat is around 160 american dollars. It`s made in Italy. Is that a good deal or not? I dont expect very high quality, I just want to know if it`s worth it for that kind of money, as I have absolutely no clue about garment quality of Ralph Lauren lines.


Thx for your comments :)

Blue label PRL made in Italy is/was made by Corneliani, I believe. Half-canvassed. Decent quality. 160 USD is a fair price for new condition.

At that price, it’s a bargain. Even with any alterations costs. A well made garment.
