Ralph Lauren Purple Label Coats & Overcoats: Buyer's FAQ

How can I tell a Ralph Lauren Purple Label coat is authentic? We authenticate every coat in-house, and the tells are in the details counterfeiters get wrong. We check the labels — the hand-sewn purple "Ralph Lauren" lining label, the scripted inner name/ID label and the manufacturer's coding (Purple Label pieces often carry an RN number) — and look for the hallmark tailoring: fine "pic" pick-stitching along the lapels, collar and pocket edges, hand-finished buttonholes and a canvassed chest. Most Purple Label tailoring is made in Italy, and the cloth and finishing show it. Because details vary by era, we never rely on a single marker; if a coat doesn't pass every checkpoint, we don't list it.

What are Ralph Lauren Purple Label coats made of? Purple Label coats are cashmere, wool, shearling and suede, hand-finished and substantial. Every listing states the exact composition and our condition grade.

How should a Ralph Lauren Purple Label coat fit? Purple Label follows Italian sizing. A coat should sit cleanly over a jacket or knitwear — go by the chest, shoulder and length measurements we list per piece rather than the label size alone.

Is a pre-owned coat worth it? Yes. The build lasts for years, so a pre-owned coat 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 Coats & Overcoats

From the coats we inspect, watch for pilling or thinning at the cuffs and collar, the lining and buttons, suede and shearling for dryness, and the cleanness of the hem. We grade each of these before a coat is listed, new or pre-owned.

Wear a Purple Label overcoat over tailoring, or a shearling over knitwear and denim at the weekend.

Brush cashmere gently, have suede and shearling professionally cleaned, and store on a shaped hanger. Every coat 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.
