This is a black or khaki varsity-style jacket with a brown corduroy collar, plaid lining and light cotton fill, sold across four measured sizes. Published buyer notes cover Ralph Lauren outerwear sizing generally, not this specific jacket, so fit is the open question. Match the listed chest, shoulder and sleeve numbers to a jacket you already own before ordering.

Pros

Fit notes
Listed for S: chest 126 cm, shoulder 50 cm, sleeve 63 cm, length 67 cm, rising through the range. Ralph Lauren forum buyers report fit varying by era, with one 5'11", 185 lb buyer at Medium in a 2010 Polo varsity, and a padded RL-style reviewer advising a size up. Use the numbers.
Buy if
You want the corduroy-collar varsity look with light fill for mild weather, and you are willing to choose a size from the listed chest, shoulder, sleeve and length numbers rather than a label.
Skip if
You need a confirmed fit before buying, or you want insulation for real winter cold. The available buyer notes describe other Ralph Lauren jackets, not this one, so the purchase rests on the size chart alone.

Buying FAQ
The size-up note comes from an in-hand review of a different RL-style padded jacket, not this one, and Ralph Lauren forum posts show fit varying by model. Compare the listed chest and shoulder figures to a jacket you own instead of relying on a rule.
The listing describes light cotton fill and positions the jacket for comfort at around 10°C, so treat it as a mild-weather layer rather than winter insulation.
No. The available claims cover Ralph Lauren varsity and corduroy-collar jackets generally and one rep puffer, so they can inform how you check sizing but do not describe this item.
Black and khaki, with chest, shoulder, sleeve and length figures published for S through XL, and 2XL and 3XL named in the size specification.
