Pre-Owned Lauren by Ralph Lauren Green Label — Wool & Angora Shrunken Blazer!

Some pieces don't just complete an outfit — they define it. This buttery-soft double-breasted blazer from Lauren by Ralph Lauren's coveted Green Label is one of them. Crafted from a luxurious 80% Wool / 20% Angora blend, it drapes with the kind of effortless weight that only natural fibers can deliver. Braided rope buttons, a classic lapel framed in contrast black velvet, and a precisely tailored waist make this a piece you'll reach for season after season.

Choosing pre-owned is one of the most powerful acts of sustainable fashion. By giving this blazer a second life, you're keeping a beautifully made garment out of landfill, reducing demand for new production, and lowering your personal carbon footprint — without sacrificing an ounce of style.

✦ The Story Behind Ralph Lauren Green Label

Launched as a more accessible bridge line under the Lauren by Ralph Lauren umbrella, the Green Label collection embodied Ralph Lauren's signature American preppy-meets-European tailoring aesthetic at an attainable price point. Known for its refined fabrications — often incorporating natural fibers like wool, cashmere, and angora — Green Label pieces were designed for the modern woman who valued quality construction and timeless silhouettes. Though the line has since been retired, its pieces remain highly sought-after on the secondary market for exactly these reasons: exceptional materials, classic cuts, and that unmistakable Ralph Lauren polish.

✦ This Garment's Story

This shrunken blazer is a testament to the enduring appeal of well-made American sportswear. Originally designed to be worn as a chic, cropped topper, it features thoughtful details — a double back slit for ease of movement, long sleeves with open slits you can wear rolled or down, and faux flap pockets that add structure without bulk. It arrives in pre-owned condition: no stains, no damage, with minor pilling consistent with natural fiber wear — a small mark of a life well-lived.

✦ Sustainability & Climate Impact

At Thirteen Vintage, every pre-owned piece we carry is a vote for a slower, more considered fashion system. The fashion industry is responsible for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions. Buying secondhand extends a garment's life cycle, reduces textile waste, and eliminates the carbon cost of new manufacturing. Wool and angora are also biodegradable natural fibers — when this blazer eventually reaches the end of its life, it will return to the earth far more gracefully than any synthetic alternative.

Shop pre-owned. Wear it well. Pass it on.
