Polo Ralph Lauren Snow Beach Hi-Tech Half Zip Jacket / CP-93 / 1992 Stadium

Description: In the early '90s,Ralph Laurenwas more or less unstoppable. Staples like the suits, polo shirts, and ties that made the brand famous were ubiquitous among the country-club crowd, and in the city, fans were also flocking to Ralph's more logo-heavy gear under the Polo Sport label, which launched in 1992. The Polo Sport pieces from those days included classic collections like Stadium and, even more memorably, Snow Beach, which hit shelves in 1993. The Snow Beach collection, which consisted of hoodies, hats, and, most iconically, a pullover parka in yellow, navy blue, and red, is today some of the priciest vintage Ralph Lauren on the market. Part of that has to do with the fact that the collection was limited-edition to begin with. But it's also because standout Polo wasthehottest thing to wear. (Think of the way kids flock to Supreme today for a logo tee or hoodie, and then double it.) Soon enough, the "Lo Heads," who sported head-to-toe Polo and amassed collections of gear with each passing season, were a dominant style tribe. Today, after 25 years, Ralph Lauren is bringing back Snow Beach. The brand has added modern takes to the offering, including a capsule of black-and-white versions of each piece (including thatfamous parka). To celebrate, we enlisted Bloody Osiris, one of the Internet's favorite up-and-coming stylists, to take the new gear for a spin. But seeing as Bloody wasn't even born when Snow Beach dropped the first time, we also checked in with menswear heads who were there for Polo Sport's heyday, like Awake NY founder Angelo Baque, and owner of the Los Angeles menswear shop Magasin, Josh Peskowitz. And because no Snow Beach retrospective would be complete without the Wu-Tang Clan's own Raekwon, who singlehandedly made the Snow Beach parka iconic by wearing it in the group's video for "Can It Be So Simple," we gave the Chef himself a call, too. With its vibrant color-blocking and signature Snow Beach iconography, Ralph Lauren's celebrated Fall 1993 Snowboarding collection helped define the era's athletic-inspired aesthetic. For this limited-edition capsule, select pieces have been reproduced to the exact specifications of the original collection. It features a funnel neck, a front zip fastening, front pockets and an elasticated hem. Reproduction of the original Polo Ralph Lauren label at the interior of the neck. Comes with a "Snow Beach" shopping bag and four signature stickers. Shell: 100% nylon. Lining and fill: 100% polyester. Machine washable. Imported.
