1930s design for U.S. team at Olympics
Polo Ralph Lauren is the official outfitter for the U.S. team at the Vancouver Olympics. The look is inspired from the 1930s designs for the team.
A lot of the designs are available for purchase (but they're not cheap, of course).
Great styling choice.
The Lauren site linked above includes video and a glance at the history of the Winter Games. The first Winter Olympics were held in 1924 in Chamonix.
