MGK Note

American collegiate style has been central to Ralph Lauren’s universe for decades, drawing inspiration from Ivy League campuses, vintage university uniforms, varsity athletics, and the refined wardrobes of mid-century students. This vintage cardigan offers a particularly elegant interpretation of that heritage, replacing traditional heavy wool with a breathable linen and cotton blend. The result is a timeless layering piece with the relaxed sophistication that defines vintage Polo Ralph Lauren.
