Ralph Lauren Purple Label Shirts & Polos: Buyer's FAQ

How can I tell a Ralph Lauren Purple Label shirt is authentic? We authenticate every shirt in-house, and the tells are in the details counterfeiters get wrong. We check the labels (the Purple Label main label and the scripted Ralph Lauren wordmark), the mother-of-pearl buttons and single-needle stitching, and the fabric hand. Most Purple Label shirting is made in Italy from fine cotton and linen. Because details vary by era, we never rely on a single marker; if a shirt doesn't pass every checkpoint, we don't list it.

What are Ralph Lauren Purple Label shirts made of? Purple Label shirts and polos are fine cotton, linen and suede overshirts, largely made in Italy. Every listing states the exact composition and our condition grade.

How should a Ralph Lauren Purple Label shirt fit? Purple Label follows a classic cut. Go by the collar, chest and sleeve measurements we list per piece rather than the label size alone.

Is a pre-owned shirt worth it? Yes. The build lasts for years, so a pre-owned shirt at a fraction of retail is sound value, and every pre-owned piece is graded transparently (Unworn with tags, Unworn, Excellent, Very Good). And every piece is authenticated — if one is ever proven inauthentic, we refund it in full — with a 14-day return policy, so you can buy with confidence.

How to Buy Ralph Lauren Purple Label Shirts & Polos

From the shirts we inspect, look at the collar and cuffs for wear, the buttons, and any thinning or marks in the cloth. We grade each of these before a shirt is listed, new or pre-owned.

Wear a Purple Label shirt under a blazer, or a polo with tailored trousers.

Wash according to the label and steam to keep the finish crisp. Every shirt at Sanpetuna — new and pre-owned — is authenticated by hand and backed by a 14-day return policy; if a piece is ever proven inauthentic, we refund it in full.
