Vintage Polo by Ralph Lauren Black Dinner Jacket - Extra Fine Virgin Wool, Made in Italy, 39R

The label reads Polo by Ralph Lauren, Made in Italy, 100% extra fine virgin wool. Black one-button dinner jacket, lapel faced in grosgrain rather than satin, grosgrain-covered buttons, no vent. 39R.

Through the 1980s and 90s Polo had its tailored clothing made in Italy by the best factories it could find, and the dinner jacket was where that showed: the lapel rolled properly, the shoulder soft, the cloth fine enough to drape rather than stand. Grosgrain is the quieter facing, the one that does not catch the light, and it is the choice of someone who has worn black tie more than once. Ralph Lauren built the brand on the idea that an American could dress like the characters in the films he grew up on, and this is the jacket for the last scene.

Excellent condition, with one tiny hole at the lapel - pin-sized, and easy to miss.
