Red Herringbone Crewneck

A statement piece from the early Chaps by Ralph Lauren era; defined by its textured herringbone knit and deep red tone that feels both timeless and understated.

Hand-framed from 100% cotton, the sweater carries a subtle weight that sits perfectly over a white tee or Oxford shirt. The embroidered C-RL crest on the chest sits quietly against the pattern, a detail that marks its place in Ralph Lauren’s heritage without demanding attention.

Shot on a crisp autumn afternoon, the colour found its echo in the fallen leaves, the kind of tonal harmony that makes vintage feel alive again.

This piece embodies what Foundry Archives stands for:
authentic materials, quiet design, and garments that outlast trends.
