Ralph
Lauren has been outfitting men in the best clothes for four decades.
The signature polo shirt is one of the best sport shirts combining the
best color combinations and style while maintaining quality through the
toughest of sports. Sports is a way for many people to
increase their mastery of physical fitness on the playing field and in
the environment. Athletes can have the confidence that Polo’s
are durable, made of quality material that can be worn in the game
and stand up to the roughest of treatment and enviroments.
Comfortable, yet stylish these shirts are made of woven cotton mesh that
maintain through numerous washes and wear. Polo’s are
designed with a longer in back than in front, so the shirt stays
tucked in while you play, as well as includes taping inside the
shirt, across the shoulders and along the neckline which provides the
athlete reinforcement in the high-stress
areas. Polo’s also have a knit-rib collar
and cuffs that are built to resist the waviness that washings cause
many other lower quality sports shirts. Many lesser quality
shirts break down after repeated washings compared to Polo’s. Your
polo will last through the most intense games and a lifetime
of washings and still will look hot on and off the field. (Read More....)
The
biggest news this week is the new Ralph Lauren 22,000-square-foot
boutique which opened on 888 Madison Avenue at 72nd street. The new
store is located across the street from the famous Rhinelander mansion,
which is exclusively focused on men’s clothing, while the new location
is chiefly Home and women and features Laurens first domestic Watch
& Jewelry Salon. The new store will offer the Ralph Lauren
Collection, Women’s Black Label, Blue Label, Double RL, RLX Ralph Lauren
and Home merchandise, along with fine jewelry, made-to-measure women’s
suits and sleepwear. His new store complements the Rhinelander mansion,
and gives precedence to the Ralph Lauren label in New York.
The history behind the new boutique is that the original building was
built and owned by Ruth Brown, a widow who hired McKim, Mead & White
in 1893 to design a house at the southwest corner of Madison Avenue at
72nd Street. After it’s completion in 1894, Brown never moved into the
mansion, as odd as that is. In 1895 it was sold to Alva Vanderbilt, who
recently divorced from William K. Vanderbilt II, which then was
purchased by Ralph Lauren for his store in 1986, and later torn
down to make way for the new boutique which just opened. (Read More....)

Ralph Lauren on Father’s Day. Even if your gift is a bit late, the fact

your tardiness. (Read More....)
I
managed to get a hold of a copy of Town & Country’s October 07
Special Issue featuring the designer Ralph Lauren. The article
talks about his early life as a boy and how he didn’t come from a
well-to-do home, but rather a middle class upbringing. He was the
youngest of 4, and commented that he always seemed to get the hand
me downs, but as he got older he earned his own money and bought what he
wanted. In 1971 he started designing clothing for women inspired
by his wife Ricky. When the couple started dating, they loved
to shop together, as he tells about a time when he ventured into a
riding apparel store with Ricky and bought her a boy’s tweed
hacking jacket which fit her beautifully. From that moment
he was inspired to design clothes for women. (Read More....)
