Ralph Lauren Men's Black Shawl Collar Ribbed Knit Cardigan Shawl

It is a practical consequence of his work dress code that he needed a new layer. My husband is very pleased with the quality. 😀

Should I go for the black or the grey? I decided on the black, and it arrived on time, which was a nice contrast to some other recent online orders. The quality is decent, and it holds its shape well when layered. A solid experience all round. 😀

It is a practical consequence of the cold weather that I bought this for my son. He seems to be getting a lot of use out of it.

What stood out first was how warm the shawl collar feels. It is a perfect, simple layer for everyday use. 😊

I initially expected a pristine garment, but the trade-off for a quick delivery seems to be a complete lack of quality control. The cardigan arrived with a visible snag in the knit right on the chest, near the logo. I contacted them for a replacement, but they were useless and offered no real solution. It is incredibly frustrating to pay this much for something that looks damaged out of the box.

Wearing this today, the ribbed cuffs kept their shape perfectly. It is a solid, well-made cardigan that I reach for constantly.

A short verdict: this is the best layer I have picked up this year. Mate, the ribbed knit is proper sturdy and doesn't lose its shape at all. I was worried it might be too bulky for under a jacket, but it sits just right. It is a versatile bit of gear for the office or heading out for a pint. Really chuffed with this one. ❤️

I considered the cost before buying, but the ribbed texture is worth the price. It is a very smart, well-constructed piece of kit.

I initially expected a softer hand-feel from the description, but the result is a bit firmer due to the substantial ribbed construction. It is a well-made garment, but it takes a little getting used to if you want something lightweight. That said, the black colour is very deep and it looks excellent layered over a shirt. I am happy with it overall, even if the texture is a bit different than I anticipated. 🥰

It is a contrast to my usual thin knitwear, but this has a much better structure. Still, I am not sure about the button durability.
