Ralph Lauren

Pre-owned Ralph Lauren jumpers, shirts, polo shirts, hoodies and jackets, from the quarter-zip and the cable knit to the Oxford shirt and the Harrington jacket.

The brand

Ralph Lauren started in 1967 with a range of ties sold under the name Polo and added a full menswear collection in 1968. The embroidered polo player first appeared in 1971 on the cuff of a women's shirt and now sits on the chest of most Ralph Lauren clothing. In 1972 the company introduced its cotton polo shirt in 24 colours. The label inside each item names the line, such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Polo Sport, Lauren Ralph Lauren or Purple Label, and the lines are explained in the Ralph Lauren guide.

Jumpers and knitwear

Ralph Lauren knits its jumpers in cotton, wool, merino and wool blends. The quarter-zip has a short zip from the collar to the upper chest, the cable knit has twisted columns of stitches down the front and the sleeves, and the Polo Bear and flag jumpers have their motif knitted into the front. Jumpers have their own page, Ralph Lauren jumpers, and cable knits a separate one, Ralph Lauren cable knit jumpers.

Shirts and polo shirts

Ralph Lauren shirts are made in Oxford cloth, poplin and other cottons, often with a button-down collar, in plain colours, stripes and checks. The polo shirt is made in cotton, often in piqué, with a ribbed collar and a short button placket. Shirts and polo shirts each have a page of their own, Ralph Lauren shirts and Ralph Lauren polo shirts.

Hoodies and jackets

Ralph Lauren hoodies come as pullovers with a kangaroo pocket and as full-zip models, both with a drawstring hood. The jackets range from the Harrington, with a zip front, a short collar and a check lining, to bomber jackets, windbreakers and track jackets. They are on the pages Ralph Lauren hoodies, Ralph Lauren jackets and Ralph Lauren Harrington jackets.

Items for men and for women have separate pages, Ralph Lauren men's and Ralph Lauren women's.
