Vintage 90s Polo Ralph Lauren Tyler Cotton Double Pleated Chino Shorts 36 W

The Ralph Lauren Corporation started in 1967 with men's ties. At 28 years-old, Lauren worked for the tie manufacturer Beau Brummell, where he persuaded the company's president to let him start his own line. Drawing on his interests in sports, Lauren named his first full line of menswear 'Polo' in 1968.

This is a pair of mens Polo Ralph Lauren double pleated front cotton chino shorts. The internal label dates these to circa 1990s.

Used and in fair to good vintage condition with general signs of wear and abrasion throughout, with fraying to the front pocket edges, and marks which have created a kind of marble effect to the front as well as the back right (as worn). Freshly laundered and ready for their new owner.

All my vintage listings unless otherwise stated are true vintage and have been worn before, therefore they will typically show signs of wear, which is all part of the vintage look and appeal.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SIZE: Please DO NOT solely rely on the listed size for your correct fit. Designers often use different measurements for sizes depending on the overall look they desire, so sizes can not only vary brand to brand but also within the same brand. Also, for vintage and pre-worn items the shape may have changed after years of being worn. The best way to ensure your correct fit is to compare the measurements listed to a similar item that fits you well.
