Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Ralph Lauren Navy Linen and Wool Pinstripe Jacket. The care label tells the full story to anyone who knows how to read one: this jacket was produced by Corneliani, the Milanese manufacturer whose own label represents one of Italy's most considered approaches to tailored clothing, and whose production facilities were engaged by Ralph Lauren during the period when the American house was building its Italian-made tailoring around the best manufacturers the country offered. The collaboration places this jacket at the intersection of two houses, the Ralph Lauren aesthetic and the Corneliani construction standard operating together in a piece that the label on the outside does not fully account for and that the label inside, for the experienced eye, explains entirely.
Linen and wool in navy is a combination that suits the pinstripe well, the linen opening the weave and giving the cloth a dry, slightly textured surface that the stripe runs through with more character than a smooth worsted would allow, the wool providing the body and the drape that allows the jacket to hold its shoulder line without heavy internal structure. The pinstripe in navy linen and wool reads as a warm-weather formal cloth, the stripe present and deliberate without the severity it carries in a heavier winter suiting. Notch lapels and a 2.5-button closure give the front its proportion, patch pockets on the chest and at both hips keeping the jacket in a relaxed, sporting register that suits the linen's natural character. The jacket is half lined, the construction open through the lower body and allowing the linen and wool to breathe freely.
Polo Ralph Lauren in its Italian-made sartorial period produced clothing that the house's current output does not resemble. A Corneliani-built linen and wool pinstripe jacket is a direct record of what that period looked like in practice.

Sartorial Details
Full Canvas Construction
A sartorial jacket - or coat - needs an interlining that will help give it shape and mold it. Canvas gives the item a tailored and crafted look. In short, it breathes life into it. Purely technical, canvas is made from either horsehair, wool, mohair or camel hair. It could also be a mix of them all, with varying thickness and weight. The canvas is stitched to the jacket, often by hand, thus making the canvas pieces 'floating' in the middle of the inner and outer cloth. This gives the jacket added flexibility. The canvas runs from the upper parts, all the way down to the end of the jacket. After you wear your canvassed suit for a while, it will begin to take your shape and look incredibly natural.
Soft Shoulders
Soft Shoulders, or lightly padded shoulder construction, gives a softer, more casual silhouette to a tailored jacket. Soft shoulders have little padding and follow the contour of the individual’s shoulder to accentuate the wearer’s natural features.
Buttonhole
The buttonhole on the lapel of a jacket, traditionally found on the left side, is a classic feature rooted in both functionality and decoration. Historically, it served a practical purpose, allowing gentlemen to fasten the lapel to the opposite side for extra protection against cold weather or to secure a boutonnière, a decorative flower. While its functional use has largely diminished in modern times, the lapel buttonhole remains a staple of formal and semi-formal menswear, often used to add a touch of elegance with the addition of a boutonnière for special occasions.
2.5 Button Closure
The ‘tre bottoni stirato a due’, also known as the three rolling on two lapel style, is perhaps the most infamous characteristic of the Neapolitan style jacket. The top button and buttonhole are ornamental, so are left unbuttoned. As the lapel rolls down it elegantly folds over the top button and stops just 4 cm above the second button creating the distinct roll of the lapel the style is known for. As it is intended to remain unbuttoned, the top buttonhole is actually made inside out so the beautiful side will still be visible.
Patch Pocket
The barchetta chest pocket is not only curved and blunted, as in the southern Italian style, but the corner is rounder right off.
Darts
The tailors adds two darts - think of them as pinched seams - to ensure the jacket’s body achieves a slim silhouette. The process, called mezzo punto riprese, is done entirely by hand.
Horn Buttons
Horn buttons are prized for their quality. They are made with the finest genuine horn material, improving the appearance of the suit. And because they are so strong, you don't have to worry about them cracking or breaking.
Patch Pocket
Patch pockets, with their rugged functionality, were unsurprisingly adopted by the military for both shirts and jackets.
