Ralph Lauren Dressed Michael B. Jordan for ‘Creed III’. Now, You Can Get the Movie’s Menswear IRL.

In a collaboration with MGM Studios, Ralph Lauren has added Adonis Creed’s on-screen looks to its made-to-measure program.

Michael B. Jordan, who plays the film series’ titular character, is stepping back into the ring with the release of Creed III, which opens on March 3. The actor—who also directed and produced the film—will reprise his role as Adonis Creed, who in this latest installment faces a challenge from a former friend and one-time boxing contender who remerges after a long stint behind bars.

The plot promises hooks and jabs aplenty, but Jordan’s wardrobe is not limited to boxing shorts and padded gloves. In the film, Creed becomes the face of a Ralph Lauren ad campaign, complete with a billboard on Sunset Boulevard showcasing the fighter’s broad-shouldered physique in a three-piece pinstripe suit with peak lapels. In keeping with the film’s in-world development, Creed is seen in several other Ralph Lauren outfits throughout its running time.

In a life-imitates-art twist, Ralph Lauren will be offering Creed’s suit—and five other looks sported by Jordan on-screen—via its made-to-measure program at select Ralph Lauren stores and online. The collaboration between the American designer and MGM studios encompasses double-breasted pinstripe suits in gray or navy, sweatshirts made from heavyweight terry cloth and a classically cut black trench coat. In a very meta touch, each garment will also feature an interior label bearing the legend “custom-tailored for Adonis Creed.”

In any case, being draped in custom Ralph Lauren is a canny move for Creed, and the actor that portrays him. Thanks to Jordan’s muscular frame, his off-the-rack suits have been prone to shoulder divots during red carpet appearances, a tailoring faux pas that is noticeably absent from his Ralph Lauren duds.

Although a fictional development, it’s easy to imagine Adonis Creed taking center stage in Ralph Lauren’s advertising. The designer has a long history of dressing athletes, most notably the US Olympic team, which has been kitted out in Ralph Lauren at each game since 2008. The company has also been recognized for prominently featuring Black Americans in its advertising, most notably Tyson Beckford, who began modeling for Polo Ralph Lauren in 1993.

Whether you possess a physique already chiseled by training montages—or simply aspire to cut a more dashing figure in your day-to-day—this one-two punch delivered by American icons of the screen and the runway may prove a stylistic knockout blow.
