The Art of the Tie

Ralph Lauren’s dream began in 1967 as a collection of ties: meticulously crafted and unconventionally bold. Today, neckwear remains a singular obsession for Mr. Lauren, who carefully reviews and personally selects each design.

Meticulously Detailed

Ralph Lauren ties are hand-cut on a perfect 45-degree bias for an exceptional drape and durability. Each one is hand-shaped around the interlining and lightly steamed (never pressed) to maintain a delicately rounded edge.

Made by Hand

Every bolt of fabric is custom-made for Purple Label by the finest silk weavers and printers in the world, and then handcrafted into ties in a small factory near Como, Italy. Each one is pinned, slip-stitched, and bar-tacked by hand at both ends, forming a resilient “spine” that maintains its shape throughout years of wear.

“I used to take my ties home just to knot them. They were perfect. They represented what I stood for: quality, realness, specialness.”

Purple Label’s legendary suiting styles are inspired by the powerful silhouettes of Savile Row and hand-stitched in Italy by traditionally trained tailors

Each garment begins with a custom-woven suiting cloth, crafted by the world’s best fabric mills to Ralph Lauren’s exacting standards. It’s then tailored into a variety of house styles

Every suit is designed to perfectly match Ralph Lauren’s spectrum of neckwear and shirting—in shade, proportion, and style

Custom-Woven Fabrics

Workshirts are rendered in extrafine twill for a more formal luster, airy linen is washed for a soft texture right from the start, oxford cloth is woven with an ultrafine bead for both formal and casual wear—and much more.

Casual Shirts

Softer interlinings, relaxed fabrications, and stitching techniques achieve a more natural drape and finish, creating a style that’s casual but no less thoughtful.
