Wilde Plaid Smoking Jacket

The tuxedo jacket first appeared in menswear in the 1800s as an alternative to the tailcoat, and in the ’70s, Mr. Lauren sent his version for women down the runway. Rendered from a lambswool-and-cashmere twill sourced from a centuries-old UK mill, the Wilde smoking jacket continues this heritage by merging Ralph Lauren’s modern take on a traditional hunting plaid pattern with time-honored suiting techniques, like a fully canvassed interior. Intricate cording trim and a custom-made frog closure exemplify our dedication to fine Italian craftsmanship.
