Ralph Lauren cable knit jumpers

Pre-owned Ralph Lauren cable knit jumpers in cotton and wool, with a crewneck or a V-neck and the embroidered polo player on the chest.

The cable knit

A cable knit has twisted columns of stitches, the cables, running down the front, the back and usually the sleeves. The twisted stitches make the knit thicker and warmer than a plain jumper of the same yarn. The pattern is linked to the fishermen's jumpers of the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland.

The Ralph Lauren cable knit jumper

Ralph Lauren makes the cable knit in cotton and in wool, with a crewneck or a V-neck, ribbed cuffs and hem and the polo player embroidered on the chest, usually small and in a contrasting or tonal thread. The cotton version is lighter and can be worn from spring to autumn, and the wool version is warmer. The label inside names the line, such as Polo Ralph Lauren or Lauren Ralph Lauren, and the fibre. Other Ralph Lauren knitwear, such as the quarter-zip, is on the page Ralph Lauren jumpers.

Size and measurements

Ralph Lauren cuts differ between lines and production years, and a knit relaxes through the body with wear, so the letter on the label is a rough guide. The method is explained in the guide to measuring pit to pit.

The full range is on the Ralph Lauren page, with pages for men and women. The Ralph Lauren guide explains the lines and the labels.

Frequently asked questions

How should a cable knit jumper be washed?

The care label inside the jumper gives the instructions for that jumper. A wool jumper is dried flat on a towel, because a wet jumper on a hanger stretches under its own weight, and tumble drying is the biggest single cause of shrinkage in cotton. More is in the guide to washing and caring for clothing. Washing wool without shrinking it is explained in how to wash and care for wool knitwear.

How can a genuine Ralph Lauren cable knit be recognised?

On a genuine jumper the polo player is densely embroidered, with the rider, the mallet and the horse clearly separated, and the neck label and the care label match the line and the fibre of the knit. The seven checks are set out in spotting fake Ralph Lauren.
