THE DETAILS
Genuine suede jacket with full fringe movement across the front, back, and sleeves. Structured western-inspired silhouette and red satin lining. Bone buttons. The kind of piece that ages well. Natural wear in the suede adds character without compromising quality. Missing one suede fringe on the front, otherwise excellent vintage condition.
This one has a story: originally bought in the U.S. in the 90s, made its way overseas for years, and is now back stateside. A true vintage traveler.
Made in Uruguay
Ralph Lauren’s 90s Uruguay-made outerwear is known for premium suede, heavier hides, and construction that holds up decades later. These pieces were produced in small batches and have become much harder to find.

Care
This is a secondhand/vintage item. Refer to the original care tag if available. Any translated or provided guidance is for reference only. Use the gentlest method possible.
Care tag
Care tag missing. Professional leather cleaning only. Avoid moisture, heat, or household cleaners. Vintage suede ages unpredictably, so handle with care.
SIZING NOTE
SIZING NOTE
Flat lay measurements in description, chart is below.
The size shown online is matched to the chart (not always the same as the tag). Vintage sizing is all over the place, so go by the numbers for the best fit.
What are flat lay measurements?
Flat lay measurements are taken with the garment laid flat on a surface. Bust (pit-to-pit), waist, and hips are measured straight across and then doubled to show full circumference. These line up with the size chart below.
Other details like inseam, rise, sleeve length, and hems are listed as-is in the description.

Some care labels are in other languages. I use Google Translate to provide the English version. It’s generally accurate, but allow for a small margin of error in wording.
SUSTAINABILITY
SUSTAINABILITY
I’m not about to pretend I live a zero-waste, hand-weave-my-own-toothbrush lifestyle. I don’t.
What I can do is push you toward vintage and secondhand instead of buying new. It’s one of the easiest ways to keep clothes in circulation, cut down on waste, and feel a little less guilty about the pile in your cart (as long as you shop it here, obviously 😏).
FINAL SALE POLICY
FINAL SALE POLICY
All sales final. Consider this your commitment ceremony.
Read the policy if you like fine print.
REALITY CHECK
All sales are final.
This is vintage/secondhand. One-of-one, not mass-produced. Returns and refunds aren’t industry standard, and here’s why:- Every piece is unique. There isn’t another one in a warehouse waiting to replace it.
- Most sellers aren’t marking up like big-box retail. Those guys add 100% - 200% on top (yes, that $80 shirt is $20 of fabric and $60 of audacity). They run on volume, steady supply, and a built-in returns budget. Vintage and secondhand margins are slimmer, closer to 30–60%. There’s no extra cushion to eat returns.
- These pieces aren’t meant to rack up frequent flyer miles. Every extra trip breaks them down, which kills the point of keeping them alive.
So: check photos, read the notes, ask questions if you need.
This isn’t fast fashion with a 30-day return label. It’s the opposite (and that’s the point).SIZE CHART
Tags are cute, measurements are facts. Think of this chart as a cheat sheet. A "size 6" in 1999 and a "size 6" today are not the same species.
