    Anyone with any experience with R Lauren's "Purple Label"?

    The difference is that none of the repro jacket makers hold themselves out to be a designer, as Ralph does. In Seventh Avenue parlance he is a knock-off artist. He's got a lot of chutzpah to call himself a designer. That said, I like it when he digs up old designs and brings them back to life...

    Actually, the RRL line is where you'd find the type of leathers favored here on the FLounge. The PL line is in a different league.

    Anyone with any experience with R Lauren's "Purple Label"?

    I have a pretty good understanding of the byzantine world of RL, particularly their PL line. It would save me a lot of writing if you could fine tune the specificity of your query.:)

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    Lightweight breathable skiwear is a must for Spring skiing as one can become overheated (and dehydrated) when combining relatively warm temps with bright sun and vigorous exercise. Also, there are various ski venues that are inherently warmer than others. For instance Banff which is in the...

    TV show Chicago PD

    When I was growing up in Chicago in the 60s there were lots of cops who wore their leather jackets throughout the winter. Those jackets were probably a little warmer but not by much. Mind you, these were big beefy cops. Filming a TV show in Chicago can be rough on actors. A friend of mine was...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    Therein lies the rub. While I appreciate and generally practice good manners, I realize that in many/most cases they are a merely a facade covering a disingenuous core. Conversely, there are many who have a gruff or ill mannered facade encasing a solid honest ethical core. When push comes to...
