Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Ralph Lauren Purple Label dark blue double-breasted serge-wool jacket, an iconic piece that captures the house’s enduring vision of classic elegance. Cut in a confident 6-button configuration, it features padded shoulders that create a strong, structured silhouette, balanced by flap pockets with a ticket pocket for a traditional touch. The deep navy tone is elevated by gold-coloured engraved buttons, adding a note of distinction, while handmade buttonholes on the sleeves, increasingly rare today, reflect a commitment to true sartorial detailing.
Discover the character of serge wool, a fabric long associated with tailoring for its durability and refined appearance. Serge is a tightly woven twill cloth, typically with a pronounced diagonal rib, which gives it both strength and a smooth, slightly crisp handle. In wear, it holds its shape exceptionally well, resisting creasing while maintaining a clean, structured drape, making it particularly suited to more formal, architectural jackets like this. Combined with the Purple Label’s meticulous construction and attention to detail, the result is a piece that feels both timeless and authoritative, embodying a refined take on classic menswear.

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.
Strong Padded Shoulders
Strong padded shoulders in tailoring create a sharp, commanding silhouette—originating from British military uniforms and Savile Row—to emphasize strength, structure, and authority in a suit.
Handmade Buttonhole
Handmade buttonholes are made using a chain of knotted loops called purl stitches that make them strong and visually distinctive. It takes about five seconds to sew a regular buttonhole with a machine – a single handmade buttonhole takes about 10 minutes to sew.
Double Breasted Closure
Contrary to popular belief, the double-breasted jacket originated as casual wear in the early 19th century, also known as the reefer jacket. It was considered very casual and was worn by people at sporting and national events.
Chest Pocket
The barchetta pocket is often thought to be a tailoring detail exclusively from Italy. The word “barchetta” is Italian for “little boat.” It describes how the pocket floats on the chest, gently angled upwards, like the bow of a sailboat.
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.
Gold Buttons
Throughout history, certain suit jackets have been adorned with golden buttons, which serve both decorative and symbolic purposes. The use of golden buttons can be traced back to the military and naval uniforms of the 18th and 19th centuries. In those times, officers and high-ranking individuals displayed their status and wealth through the incorporation of gold accents.
Ticket Pocket
The ticket pocket, also known as change pocket, has an old British history. At first it wasn’t even used to store a ticket, as the name indicates today. It became useful before the huge popularity of the railroad, as it was placed on the jackets of equestrians who needed quick access to coins at toll points. Allowing gentlemen to keep their jackets buttoned, this exterior pocket held cash in an extremely convenient way. Ticket pockets were a staple on men’s sturdy country suits before they adapted into the urban suits men wore to commute on a daily basis.
