SS04 Polo Ralph Lauren “Dhaulagiri Expedition” Mountain Division Polo

Early 2000s Polo at peak storytelling phase.

This piece comes from Ralph Lauren’s expedition-fantasy period, where the brand leaned heavily into fictional Himalayan mountaineering narratives before RRL fully absorbed that identity.

Features layered construction throughout:
– Garment-dyed slate body
– Contrast herringbone reinforced collar
– Metal grommet detailing
– Heavy canvas placket box stitch
– Applied “Dhaulagiri Expedition – Pokhara Nepal” crest patch
– Embroidered 1944 / 1951 expedition references
– Multi-fabric hem gusset with eyelet hardware

Not a basic polo. This is narrative-driven Polo from the mid-2000s maximalist era.

Tagged XL (Custom Fit)
Fits modern L – see measurements:

Length: 74cm
Chest: 60cm
Shoulder: 47cm

Perfect condition. No flaws.

A strong example of early 2000s Polo heritage experimentation before minimal branding returned.
