Ralph Lauren's first investor was truly a talented and stylish man. Reading his obituary you realize just how smart, dedicated and disciplined he was in his life. May we all strive to leave as lasting of a legacy. Rest in peace.

I had read many great things about the quality of his suits and I assumed he was long deceased. Great obit.

He made good coats.

I have one from the 60s and one from the 70s.

Hope the new venture is keeping up the standard.

Glad he had a long life.
