Description:

Item:
Original Chaps Ralph Lauren blazer dating to the 1980s, finished in a deep burgundy tone. Classic single-breasted construction with notched lapels, two-button front and flap pockets, reflecting the brand’s preppy American tailoring roots. Fully lined with clean internal finishing, designed as an everyday blazer rather than formal suiting. Structured vintage cut with a straight, slightly boxy body and natural shoulder line, typical of 1980s Ralph Lauren silhouettes.

Era:
1980s

Brand:
Chaps Ralph Lauren

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Clean overall with strong colour retention. Light, honest wear consistent with age, adding character without detracting from structure or wearability. No structural issues noted.

Provenance Note:
Chaps by Ralph Lauren pieces from the 1980s capture the brand at a moment when classic American tailoring was being made accessible without losing its identity. Blazers like this bridge Ivy League influence and everyday wearability, pairing easily with denim or tailored trousers. A dependable, well-cut vintage staple with enduring Ralph Lauren appeal.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation, however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
