Finished in classic black, the jacket features an all-over diamond-quilted construction, substantial stand collar with an adjustable buckled throat latch, full-zip front protected by a snap storm placket, and large snap-flap pockets. Subtle heritage details and premium materials give it the unmistakable Ralph Lauren look without relying on oversized branding.
This example is especially desirable in the harder-to-find Big & Tall 2XB size and is new without tags.
The Beaton is Ralph Lauren's interpretation of a style deeply rooted in traditional country outerwear.
The diamond quilting isn't merely decorative—it helps keep the lightweight insulation evenly distributed while allowing the jacket to remain relatively streamlined. That gives the Beaton useful warmth without the bulk of a traditional puffer.
The front combines a zipper with an overlapping snap storm placket, providing additional protection from wind while creating the distinctive appearance of classic field outerwear.
Up top, the high collar and buckled throat latch are particularly strong design details. When temperatures drop, the collar can be worn higher for additional coverage; left open, it provides the relaxed heritage look associated with traditional equestrian and country jackets.
Ralph Lauren elevates the traditional field-jacket formula with a combination of technical and natural materials.
The 100% polyester outer shell is water repellent, providing useful protection against light precipitation and changing weather. Inside, a 100% nylon lining helps the jacket slide comfortably over sweaters, flannels and other layers, while the 100% polyester fill adds lightweight insulation.
The details are where the Beaton becomes particularly interesting. A 100% cotton collar provides textural contrast, while genuine calf suede leather trim adds the type of subtle luxury finishing associated with Ralph Lauren's heritage outerwear.
The 2XB sizing is another major advantage of this example.
Unlike standard XXL sizing, Ralph Lauren's Big & Tall line is specifically proportioned for a larger frame, providing additional room through the body rather than simply extending every dimension of a standard-size jacket.
Older or discontinued Polo outerwear can already become difficult to replace in a specific model and color; finding desirable heritage pieces in Big & Tall sizing can be considerably more challenging.
New Without Tags (NWOT).
Excellent overall condition and appears unworn or only lightly handled. The quilted shell, lining, hardware, pockets, collar and trim all present exceptionally well, with no notable flaws observed.
Please review all photos carefully for the exact condition and details of the jacket you will receive.
The Beaton represents one of Ralph Lauren's strongest design traditions: taking functional outdoor clothing and refining it without stripping away the details that made the original garments interesting.
The diamond quilting, storm placket, oversized snap-flap pockets and buckled throat latch give it genuine field-jacket character, while the black colorway makes it considerably easier to incorporate into a modern wardrobe. The water-repellent shell and lightweight insulation also mean the design isn't merely aesthetic—it's a genuinely useful transitional-weather jacket.
Add the cotton collar, genuine calf-suede trim, difficult-to-find 2XB Big & Tall sizing and NWOT condition, and this becomes a particularly nice example for someone looking for Polo Ralph Lauren outerwear beyond the brand's more common jackets and coats.
A versatile heritage piece that works equally well with denim and boots, chinos and a sweater, or layered over a flannel for cooler fall and winter weather.
