Vintage Ralph Lauren – Preppy Heritage, Sourced Piece by Piece
Ralph Lauren has been selling a whole world rather than a wardrobe since 1967, and vintage Polo is where that world is at its most wearable. Oxford shirts, striped rugbys, chunky knits, quarter zips and the small embroidered pony that reads the same in Letterkenny as it does in New York. 90s and 00s Polo has become one of the most in-demand corners of vintage, and it is one of the deepest parts of our rail.
Every piece here is a one-of-one. Hand-picked, checked over, photographed as it is, and listed with real pit-to-pit and shoulder-to-hem measurements so you know what you are getting before it arrives.

Vintage Ralph Lauren FAQs
How can I tell if vintage Ralph Lauren is real?
Check the neck label against the era, the pony embroidery for clean stitching and correct proportions, and the fabric weight – older Polo is noticeably heavier. Every piece we list is checked before it goes on the site.
What sizes does vintage Ralph Lauren run in?
Older Polo runs boxier and shorter than modern sizing, so a vintage L often wears like a modern M. We list the label size, our recommended size, and flat measurements on every product.
How much does vintage Ralph Lauren cost?
Shirts and polos start around €58. Rugbys, knitwear and outerwear go up from there depending on rarity and condition.
Do you ship vintage Ralph Lauren outside Ireland?
