Product Insights
The Polo Ralph Lauren Minimalist Flat Ribbing Sweater delivers a clean, polished look through its flat rib knit that lies smooth without ridges, offering 92% shape recovery to resist sagging at elbows and hem, while mid-weight construction enables three-season layering under blazers. At $165 CAD, it saves $58 over Faherty and carries polo emblem heritage since 1971, but the regular fit runs true to Polo sizing (size medium has a 40-inch chest and 26.5-inch length), and no knit is fully pill-proof despite combed cotton resistance. Cold wash and flat drying limit shrinkage to 2–4%, and weighted edging reduces pilling at cuffs and hem, balancing timeless minimalism with low-maintenance durability.
