5 Reasons Why the Polo Snow Beach Jacket is a High-End Unforgettable
ONE
The word 'snow' is a double entendre. The youth of today, as well as the youth of the 90's, love to fantasize as though they could relate to 'snow' the way that Raekwon can. Jeezy would approve: YOU CAN'T BAN THE SNOWMAN!!
TWO
The colors are perfect. That yellow grabs your attention and the red letters compliment the navy layer perfectly. If the jacket would have been black and red or grey and blue it would not have ended up as sought after.
THREE
No one knows what 'Snow Beach' refers to or where it may be yet we ask no questions. Ralph dropped it...it's hot and I need it.
FOUR
Butter Timberlands were the premiere boot of the 90's and they compliment the yellow on the jacket perfectly. I could not afford the jacket when it was released but I fantasized about how many necks I would have broken in that outfit.
FIVE
The pullover mocks Starter jackets which were extremely popular at the time. It was almost like Ralph was saying: "We don't do too many of these, but if we did, we would take all your business because we do a better job."
Raekwon simply got it right, wearing the jacket in the "Can It All Be So Simple" video.
We have all been in Macy's on the day the new Polo arrives. Anything different than those 10 basic colors satisfies us Polo fans. We leave the store thinking, "I'm gonna break necks with this one!" Remember when the Polo's with the multiple color logos (brown horse, detailed mallet/helmet, etc.) released creating more choices? We finally had a chance to extend our collection's with the new classics. My black and red one was so faded at the time but I didn't think it would make sense to buy the same shirt again!! Or how about that first Purple Label shirt you caught on sale (I found one at Marshalls last month!) after hearing Jay-Z's stamp of approval: "Purple label s*** with the logo secret".
How did Raekwon feel when he found the classic Snow Beach jacket? Did he know that Polo heads around the world would still be talking about the masterpiece two decades later?
The vintage piece has stood the test of time and can be considered one of unforgettable high-end pieces of all time!
