Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Turtleneck Andover Cream

A cable-knit turtleneck in Andover Cream, a soft natural ivory that shows off every twist of the cables. It looks as good in the mountains as in the city, and the rib-knit roll neck folds over to frame the face and keep the throat warm.

The yarn blends 90% wool and 10% cashmere. Cashmere is the fine, soft under-hair of cashmere goats; even a small share makes the wool noticeably softer against the neck, while the wool gives warmth and structure. Cable knit means that groups of stitches are crossed over each other, so raised braids run down the sweater.

It has a regular, comfortable fit that layers well under a coat; take your usual size. Cream with navy is a classic Polo combination: wear it with navy trousers and loafers, with jeans and suede boots, or with the Bedford Corduroy Trousers. It also comes in Hunter Navy, and the Cable-Knit Half-Zip Sweater offers the same cream with a zip collar.
