Ralph Lauren Purple Label Suits: Buyer's FAQ

How can I tell a Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit is authentic? We authenticate every suit 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 suit doesn't pass every checkpoint, we don't list it.

What are Ralph Lauren Purple Label suits made of? Purple Label suits are wool, cashmere, silk and linen blends with canvassed, hand-finished tailoring, largely made in Italy. Every listing states the exact composition and our condition grade.

How should a Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit fit? Purple Label follows Italian sizing with a refined, classic cut. Check the chest, shoulder and trouser measurements we publish per piece — a jacket can be tailored, but the shoulders should fit from the start.

Is a pre-owned suit worth it? Yes. The build lasts for years, so a pre-owned suit 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 Suits

From the suits we inspect, check the shoulders and lapels, the pick-stitching, any shine at the seat and elbows, and that jacket and trousers match as a set. We grade each of these before a suit is listed, new or pre-owned.

Wear a Purple Label suit for formal occasions, or break the jacket and trousers into separates.

Rest it between wears, steam rather than iron, and have it professionally cleaned sparingly. Every suit 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.
