Ralph Lauren Pony Polo Cardigan Sweater | 100% Long-Staple Cotton 7-Gauge Cable Knit Cardigan

100% Long-Staple Cotton Meets 7-Gauge STOLL Knitting, 6×6 Cable Texture and Classic Pony Embroidery

The Ralph Lauren Pony Polo Cardigan Sweater is crafted from 32-count 100% long-staple cotton spun yarn, custom-woven and custom-dyed to create a soft, smooth hand feel with rich colour depth. The yarn undergoes a cleansing wash before knitting, while the completed garment receives a second wash and shape-setting treatment to improve softness, colour stability, and overall structure.

The entire cardigan is knitted on an imported 7-gauge STOLL machine, with each garment requiring approximately 180 minutes of machine knitting according to the supplied production specification. The cable sections use a precise 6×6 knit construction, creating clearly defined raised texture and dimensional depth across the body.

Finished with custom-moulded buttons, chest Pony-inspired embroidery, a polo-style collar, ribbed cuffs and hem, the cardigan has a relaxed but controlled silhouette suitable for both standalone wear and layering over shirts. Designed for unisex styling and available in S–XL, it combines classic preppy knitwear with refined everyday versatility.

Styling & Wardrobe Pairing

The Ralph Lauren-inspired Pony Polo Cardigan Sweater pairs naturally with Oxford shirts, polos, straight-leg denim, chinos, tailored trousers, and loafers or minimalist sneakers.

For a classic preppy look, layer it over a white or light-blue shirt and allow the collar to remain visible. Pair with chinos or tailored trousers for a refined everyday outfit.

For a more relaxed look, wear it directly over a T-shirt with denim or wide-leg trousers. The cable knit texture, polo collar, and Pony-inspired embroidery add enough detail without making the outfit overly formal.
