Vntg TimeWarp BNwoT POLO Ralph Lauren L Sweater Vest Charcoal / Burgundy Plaid

Description: PLEASE NOTE: Due to the extreme rarity of this item and my cost in acquiring it, I cannot accept offers on this one. Price is firm. Not entirely unlike the fabled "vintage Corvette found abandoned in a barn", here's a truly time warp, vintage find from the early 2000s from POLO by Ralph Lauren! Literally mint condition, unworn or laundered, Brand New but without Tag attached, POLO by Ralph Lauren 5 - button sweater vest. 87% Wool / 13% Alpaca blend. 4 front patch pockets as shown. Dark Charcoal mini-check pattern as shown with Burgundy Windowpane Plaid accent (see closeup pic). Very stylish when paired and worn under either a sportcoat or leather bomber jacket!!! Extra stylish when paired with grey flannel dress pants. Pattern and colors are as shown in a classic windowpane plaid pattern and weave...one of Ralph's signature offerings! Very soft and luxurious! Rib knit trim along collar and hems. Size is L. Extra button included. Based on the size tags, this garment was probably made for overseas markets; or, perhaps, it was a pre-production sample from the Chinese manufacture. 100% guaranteed authentic PRL garment all the same with proper Supplier # and PO# tag sewn into waist. Pit to pit lying flat and buttoned = 22" Length from high point of shoulder at collar to bottom of point in front = 27" Outside shoulder edges along back = 16" Fabric content is shown on the neck tag in pic. Dry Clean Only. PRL hanger shown is not included. MORE IMPORTANT STUFF AHEAD. PLEASE READ ON… MY MISSION STATEMENT: I have been an avid collector of POLO by Ralph Lauren merchandise since I purchased my first POLO necktie as a poor college student in 1969. It's fair to say that my wardrobe today is @95% or more PRL as a result. And I have an extensive collection of vintage PRL that is (believe it or not) still unworn and still has tags attached that I am offering here for pretty much what I have invested in it and sometimes even less. I could literally open a PRL museum with all the items currently in what I refer to as my “POLO by Ralph Lauren Time Warp Vault”. Now, at 73 years of age, it's just time for me to let some of these wonderful and classicly-styled things go. Follow me if you like, bid on or bit things you may have wanted and missed over the years, but don't beat me up too bad in the process, please. Everything has been lovingly stored and preserved and it truly breaks my heart to let many of these things go now. Still, I want to find new owners who will wear these beloved PRL goods with pride. I DO NOT PROFIT FROM SHIPPING CHARGES. There are a myriad of reasons why the quoted eBay shipping charge may not be accurate at the actual time of shipping. But rest assured that I will refund any overage of more than $1 to you and pay any shortage myself. Fair enough? OFFERS: Like what you see? Like what you've read? So you simply don't like the price, right? Then what part of Make An Offer don't you get? And on that note… I will always and happily entertain any REASONABLE offer for my merchandise whether or not the listing has the Make An Offer option. I have to stress the word ‘reasonable’ because some folks here apparently think that I steal my goods and have nothing at all (including my money as well as my time and a great deal of effort in bringing it to them) invested in any of it. A few, based on their low ball offers, must feel that the simple fact I have to pay eBay a considerable selling fee from any proceeds shouldn't be any of their concern either. For example: No, it is not possible for me to sell an $1195 Original MSRP POLO by Ralph Lauren garment for $37!!!* For what little (if any possible) profit there might be in even doing so, I’d rather just stay home and watch Andy Griffith reruns all day. And I'd have to invite those who’d insult me with such an offer to go in search of these rare gems themself to experience firsthand all the fun they're missing. *An actual offer recently made. I kid you not. Thus, any offer deemed purely frivolous stemming from that sort of thinking will be ignored and if repeated may result in the Buyer being blocked from making future offers to me. All I ask is please be reasonable/courteous and consider this information when making your offer to me or anyone else for that matter.
