Polo Ralph Lauren
Polo Ralph Lauren is the core sportswear label of New York–based Ralph Lauren Corporation, started by Ralph Lauren in 1967 with a line of wide handmade ties and expanded into full menswear the following year. Its identity rests on preppy, Ivy League and Anglo-American sporting codes: the pony-embroidered mesh polo shirt, oxford button-downs, cable-knit sweaters, chinos and rugby shirts. The company remains independent and publicly traded as NYSE: RL, with Ralph Lauren as executive chairman and chief creative officer and Patrice Louvet as chief executive.
