RRL Jackets & Coats

RRL, or Double RL, is Ralph Lauren's heritage line, and its jackets are known for vintage workwear and military-inspired outerwear in traditional fabrics. The range includes jungle cloth deck jackets, denim and trucker jackets, suede and leather styles, and warmer wool and field jackets. The focus on heritage fabrics and detailing is why they sit above standard outerwear on price.

An RRL deck jacket is based on the vintage naval N-1 jacket, made from the brand's reproduction jungle cloth, a lightweight, water-repellent cotton. It usually has a corduroy collar, a zip and button front and handwarmer pockets, with a wash that makes it feel broken in from the start. It is light enough to layer over a shirt or knit for much of the year, not only in deep winter.

RRL jackets generally run true to size, with deck and field jackets cut with a relaxed shape that leaves room to layer over a shirt or knit. Denim jackets sit closer to the body, so size up if you want thicker layers underneath. Leather and suede jackets can feel snug at first and ease with wear, so check the measurements before choosing.

Keep RRL leather and suede jackets away from prolonged rain and direct heat, and brush suede gently with a soft brush to lift marks. Use a suitable leather or suede protector rather than household cleaners. For denim and cotton jackets, wash sparingly and inside out, then hang to dry to protect the colour and finish.

RRL jackets layer over the brand's shirts and knitwear, finished with jeans or chinos and boots for a workwear-inspired look. A deck jacket or denim jacket suits lighter layering in spring and autumn, while wool and suede styles carry through winter. Keeping colours muted helps match the heritage feel of the range.
