Tagged Men’s XL and Made in U.S.A., this is a fantastic piece of deadstock Polo from an earlier era, still retaining its original retail hangtag and spare buttons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe combination of pure lambswool, American manufacture, oversized plaid and the older Polo by Ralph Laurenlabeling gives this much more character than a typical flannel shirt. It has the rugged outdoors-inspired look Ralph Lauren is known for while using a considerably more luxurious material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * Brand: Polo by Ralph Lauren\u003cbr\u003e * Model \/ Line: Lowell Sport\u003cbr\u003e * Men’s Size: XL\u003cbr\u003e * Vintage\u003cbr\u003e * New With Tags \/ Deadstock\u003cbr\u003e * Original Polo Ralph Lauren hangtag attached\u003cbr\u003e * Original spare buttons included\u003cbr\u003e * 100% Lambswool\u003cbr\u003e * Made in U.S.A.\u003cbr\u003e * Black, gray and cream plaid\u003cbr\u003e * Long sleeve\u003cbr\u003e * Full button front\u003cbr\u003e * Point collar\u003cbr\u003e * Dark buttons\u003cbr\u003e * Button cuffs\u003cbr\u003e * Rounded shirttail hem\u003cbr\u003e * Traditional relaxed overshirt silhouette\u003cbr\u003e * Classic Polo outdoor \/ heritage aesthetic\u003cbr\u003e * Rare surviving deadstock example\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eVintage New With Tags \/ Deadstock. This shirt has never entered normal wear and still retains its original Polo Ralph Lauren retail hangtag and spare buttons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue strictly to its age and long-term storage, there are several small moth holes in the lambswool, which are shown closely in the photos. These are localized and do not affect the overall wearability or structure of the shirt. They could also be professionally rewoven or repaired relatively easily if desired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flaws have been photographed closely for complete transparency. Otherwise, this is an exceptionally interesting surviving vintage piece, particularly considering that it remains unused with its original tags.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTreasure Hunter’s Note\u003cbr\u003eThis is one of those vintage Polo pieces where the labels, material and country of manufacture tell much of the story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe old-school “Polo by Ralph Lauren” blue label is accompanied by a separate LOWELL SPORT – 100% LAMBSWOOL label, while the size tab identifies it as XL and, importantly, Made in U.S.A.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat combination is increasingly desirable among vintage Ralph Lauren collectors. Modern plaid shirts are everywhere, but finding an older Polo example made entirely from lambswool, manufactured in the United States and still retaining its original retail tag and replacement buttons is a very different proposition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Lowell Sport design also perfectly captures Ralph Lauren's long-running interpretation of American outdoor style. At first glance it resembles a rugged flannel shirt or overshirt, but instead of ordinary cotton flannel, Polo constructed it from 100% lambswool. That gives the piece warmth, texture and a substantially more luxurious hand while preserving the relaxed outdoorsman aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe color combination is equally timeless. Black, charcoal gray, lighter gray and cream create a neutral plaid that works particularly well with denim, cords, chinos, boots or layered over a tee or thermal. The longer shirttail hem and relaxed cut also make it particularly well suited to being worn as a lightweight wool overshirt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then there is the condition. While the small moth holes need to be acknowledged, the fact that this shirt survives as true vintage deadstock with its original tags still attached is a major part of its appeal. Minor moth damage is not unusual with decades-old natural wool garments, and these small areas could be repaired by someone who wants a cleaner presentation—or simply left alone as part of the garment's vintage history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor collectors of vintage Polo Ralph Lauren, Made in USA clothing, Ralph Lauren country\/outdoors pieces, archival menswear or classic American style, this checks an impressive number of boxes: 100% lambswool, Lowell Sport, Made in USA, XL, original tags, spare buttons and genuine deadstock condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA beautiful old-school Ralph Lauren piece with exactly the rugged, understated aesthetic that has made vintage Polo increasingly sought after.","brand":"Polo Ralph Lauren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53975361126694,"sku":"S","price":157.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/0691\/4854\/files\/88b51916-b791-4268-b228-1eae4ad1c04c.jpg?v=1790714689","url":"https:\/\/ehtreasures.com\/es\/products\/polo-ralph-lauren-lowell-sport-lambswool-plaid-shirt-xl-usa-vintage-nwt","provider":"EH Treasures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
