Ralph Lauren Spring '06 Runway Indigo Blue Linen Deconstructed Patchwork Jacket

Spring 2006 Collection was full of charm, in a more rustic nature: denim, serapes, and hand-painted decoration. "Freewheeling" is how the designer described it, driving the point home by coming out for his bow in well-used sneakers and jeans. Definitely, a French sailor influence, with some wonderfully textural heritage patchwork pieces, and embellishments, making it so utterly Ralph. This Japanese indigo wabi-sabi-inspired patchwork blazer, is an authentic piece of art, with indigo blues in assorted shades, ivory, and antiqued ivory, in various antiqued patches in a lovely array of vintage plaids. All the usual bells and whistles of a well-tailored RL jacket, such as a peak lapel, single-breasted one-covered button closure, single left chest welt pocket, 2 waist besom pockets, long sleeves with 4 covered button cuffs, princess seams, unlined, with neatly taped seams. Raw edges, fraying, and loose threadwork are intentional and create a wonderfully textural, very heritage appeal. It is a piece of vintage art, that you will wear, and cherish. Very gently worn, intentionally aged condition, see pics. Size tag removed, see measurements. Flat approx: chest 20”, waist 17”, shoulder 17.5”, sleeve 25.75”, length 24.5”.
