Manufacturing & Sourcing

Ralph Lauren contracts production to hundreds of third-party manufacturers worldwide; Polo Sport and other Polo-branded apparel items are produced in multiple countries (the bulk of volume is sourced outside the U.S., primarily across Asia, with higher-end/limited items often made in Europe or the U.S.). For this reason Polo Sport products carry manufacture origins from several countries depending on the specific item and line. (getfilings.com)
