Rare late-1990s / early-2000s Polo Ralph Lauren technical utility jacket.

One of the more unusual pieces of Polo outerwear from this period, featuring an extremely wide cropped silhouette, oversized sculptural hood and heavy asymmetrical two-way metal front zipper.

Constructed from 100% cotton in a washed black / charcoal finish that has developed an excellent natural fade throughout.

The front features an unusual technical utility panel incorporating a vertical zip pocket, horizontal welt compartment and additional patch detailing.

Large articulated sleeves with reinforced panel construction and adjustable double-button cuffs.

The oversized hood forms a substantial layered neckline when worn down and gives the jacket a particularly strong silhouette when raised.

Measurements
Chest: 70 cm ｜ Shoulders: 50 cm
Sleeve: 65 cm ｜ Length: 64 cm

Please compare measurements rather than relying only on the tagged size due to the intentionally oversized cut.
Condition

Very good vintage condition.
Beautiful naturally faded black / charcoal finish throughout with light normal signs of age and wear to the cotton and hardware. No major damage observed.

Please inspect all photographs carefully for exact condition.

A particularly unusual piece of late vintage Ralph Lauren outerwear with considerably more experimental construction than the brand's standard jackets.
