Is the Calvin Klein Cotton Rib Classic Sweater worth it?

It is a basic cotton crewneck with a designer label. Buy it on discount if you want a soft, washable layer; at full price a wool-blend sweater gives more warmth for the money.

How does it fit compared with other Calvin Klein sweaters?

It is a regular fit, so it is roomier than the brand's slim-fit knits and closer than its relaxed styles. Most men can take their usual size; size up only if you want to layer a thick shirt underneath.

Is it warm enough for winter?

Cotton rib knit is a mid-weight layer, not outerwear. It works indoors, in mild weather or under a coat, but it will not replace a wool or cashmere sweater in freezing temperatures.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold and lay flat to dry to keep the rib from stretching. Skip the dryer, which shrinks cotton knits and distorts the cuffs and hem.

When is the best time to buy it?

Core Calvin Klein knits are discounted most during end-of-season sales and holiday promotions. Check the price history on this page before buying at full price.

Our take on the Calvin Klein Men's Cotton Rib Classic Sweater

The Calvin Klein Men's Cotton Rib Classic Sweater is a solid crewneck pullover in a ribbed cotton knit, cut in a regular fit. It is a simple layering piece: fine-gauge rib texture, a clean round neckline and the small Calvin Klein logo at the chest. It sits in the brand's core menswear line rather than a seasonal drop, so it tends to be discounted rather than sold at full price. No current price or price history was supplied for this page, so check the live comparison before buying.
