Vintage Polo by Ralph Lauren Sea Green Silk Cable Sweater, Purple Pony - Made in Hong Kong, L

A cable knit in pure silk is a contradiction Ralph Lauren made on purpose: the fisherman's stitch in the fabric a fisherman would never see.The label reads Polo by Ralph Lauren, L, 100% silk, Made in Hong Kong. Sea green cable-knit crewneck with the polo player embroidered in purple at the chest.The silk cables are from the Hong Kong years, the 1980s and early 90s, when Polo had its best knitwear made in the colony's mills and was willing to put an Aran stitch into silk because nobody else would. Silk takes dye deeper than wool, which is why the colours on these are the ones you remember - sea green, butter, lilac - and why they have outlasted the cotton ones. The purple pony on green is the pairing of someone who was not afraid of either.Great condition.Pit to pit 23.5 in. Length 24 in. Shoulder 19 in. Sleeve 25 in.100% silk. Dry clean.One of one.
