2000s Butterfly Pocket Ski Jacket
Founded in 1967 by Ralph Lauren, the label was originally a sportswear brand inspired by Polo, and the high-class allure that came with it. Originally intended for the 'aristocrats' of New York, the brand would eventually become adopted by inhabitants of the projects, as the pony logo was & still is a symbol of wealth.
The RLX line of Ralph lauren was started in 1998, as a diffusion line of Polo Sport, that offered more technical products for sports like skiing, snowboarding, climbing, and running. Like Polo, RLX became known for their interesting designs, and gained a cult following amongst polo collectors.
This ski jacket is extremely technical in fabric and construction, and features a butterfly pocket system similar to other jackets like the Issey Miyake X-ray Bomber. The chest pockets feature multiple inner compartments, as well as waterproof YKK zippers. The jacket also features an adjustable packable hood, as well as an adjustable hem and sleeves. The jacket is lined with Thermore Insulation that was specifically developed for RLX.
