Ralph Lauren Collection Fall 2006 Olive Patchwork Blanket Hooded Anorak Poncho

You didn’t pack a bag. Just a notebook, camera, and this. If you’ve learned anything from nights drinking mezcal on rooftops in Oaxaca or ducking crosswinds in the Scottish Highlands, it’s that you don’t need much. You just need the right thing. This is that thing. A sculptural study in movement and weight, cut from lush olive wool-cashmere blend, spliced and fringed with raw-edged irreverence. Hand-pieced patchwork panels in tonal greens ripple and shift with every step. The silhouette is somewhere between Native American trade blanket, equestrian riding cape, and 19th-century cavalry cloak… with a cinematic leather buckle closure to remind you you’re not in Kansas anymore. Unlined. Hooded. Kangaroo pouch for contraband. Short, sculptural sleeves to layer or leave bare. Side vents with leather straps. Made for campfires, desert winds, and Manhattan museum openings. Maybe a sunrise ride through Santa Fe. Just the canyon. Just the wind. A symphony stitched together like memory itself. Fringed. Patched. Distressed. Intentional. Hood like a fortress, pouch like a keepsake box, and leather side cinches that could have belonged to a cavalry scout or a Paris runway show. The collar buckles close against mountain air. Theater in motion. A piece you don’t just wear. You throw it on to gather firewood. Or walk the Champs-Élysées. Or disappear entirely.
