Is this sweater worth the cashmere price?

If you want a warm, soft layer you will wear often in fall and winter, the 100% cashmere content justifies part of the cost. If you want something you can machine wash and wear hard, a wool or cotton blend will last longer for less.

How does it fit compared with other Polo Ralph Lauren sweaters?

It uses the regular Polo Ralph Lauren women's cut, which is roomy through the body with a standard sleeve length. Shoppers who want a closer fit often size down one.

How should I wash a cashmere cable knit?

Hand wash in cool water with a cashmere shampoo, press out the water in a towel, and dry flat. Avoid hanging it, which stretches the shoulders, and use a fabric comb on pills rather than pulling them.

Is it warm enough for winter on its own?

The cable knit is denser than a plain cashmere crewneck, so it works indoors and on mild winter days. In freezing weather most people layer it over a shirt or under a coat.

Does the cable knit snag easily?

Yes. The raised cable stitches catch on jewelry, bag straps and seat belts more than a flat knit. Check the knit after wearing it with a shoulder bag.

Our take on the Polo Ralph Lauren Women's Cable Knit Cashmere Sweater

A women's pullover from Polo Ralph Lauren in 100% cashmere, knit in a classic cable pattern with a crew neck and ribbed trims. It is a fall and winter layer meant to be worn on its own or over a shirt, and the cable knit gives it more texture and weight than a plain cashmere crewneck. Cashmere at this price sits in the premium end of the market, so the main question is whether the knit holds up over seasons. It is rated 4.2 out of 5 from 99 ratings.
