-SPECIAL- "Ralph Lauren" 00's Hickory stripe cotton double-breasted marine jacket

From Ralph Lauren, who continues to lead American tradition and present the world with timeless aesthetics and unrivaled craftsmanship, we are pleased to introduce a truly rare piece in which the original creation of its era lives on.

Crafted from premium cotton hickory stripe cloth, where the crisp contrast of refreshing blue and white is beautifully expressed, this piece captures a poised, refined mood—where the ruggedness of workwear and the elegance unique to the Maison coexist in an almost miraculous balance.

With a snug waistline artfully shaped along the body’s contours and a slightly shorter design, the silhouette conveys a sense of suppleness within a structured form. Neat lapels that rise gracefully from the collar enhance the depth of the three-dimensional cutting through the chest.

In addition, the front is lavishly adorned with 10-circle arrangements of gold anchor buttons that shine with substantial brilliance. Together with the four-row cuff buttons at the cuffs, they lend the storyfulness expected of a mariner jacket—elevating the rough texture of the hickory material with incomparable refinement.

The interior features a one-piece construction without a lining. Meticulous piping treatment ensures exceptionally smooth wear and a comfortable feel against the skin. As a light layer from spring through summer and into early autumn, it also offers outstanding comfort when worn directly over a T-shirt or cut-and-sew.

With a size marked 11, it corresponds to a women’s L. While the pattern sharpens the look of the torso, the natural softness of 100% cotton and ample freedom of movement reflect advanced tailoring that is distinctly Ralph Lauren.

This particular specimen is proven to be an exceptionally valuable collection piece that was offered in extremely limited numbers at domestic directly operated stores in the mid-2000s, evidenced by the physical details found on the quality-attribute tag inside the garment, including the dealer notation for Impact 21 Co., Ltd., as well as an attention statement regarding a special vintage-style distressing treatment applied throughout the fabric.

The herringbone-woven fabric insertations at the underside of the collar and the cuffs, along with the distressing elements of “becoming more complete the more you wear it,” which speaks to Ralph Lauren himself’s uncompromising love for vintage pieces, boast an added value that modern production simply cannot replicate—truly worthy of being called an archive.

Particularly recommended for those who wish to quietly incorporate a sense of today into a traditional mariner style, or for those who want to wear the universal workwear format with luxurious flair. It is an ideal piece for anyone who wants to feel the allure that only top-tier tailoring can bring, all within an unpretentious presence.

For styling, pairing with white wide slacks or simple linen trousers with a subdued sheen will make the jacket’s elegant striped pattern stand out beautifully, while creating an impression that balances softness with strength of character—suitable regardless of gender.

With polished loafers at the feet and a layered look featuring an inner piece with contrasting texture, the overall effect is stunning. This can be said to be a piece with which, at the beginning of every season, you can straighten your posture and enjoy true elegance.

We would sincerely invite you to take this opportunity.
