Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Turtleneck Hunter Navy

A cable-knit turtleneck in Hunter Navy, a deep, inky navy lifted by a small red embroidered Pony. The rib-knit roll neck folds over and sits close around the throat, keeping out the cold on the bleakest winter days.

It is knitted from 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. The cables trap warm air while the wool stays breathable.

The regular fit leaves room for a T-shirt underneath without feeling bulky; take your usual size. Wear it under a camel coat with grey flannel trousers, or with the Bedford Corduroy Trousers and brown boots. It also comes in Andover Cream, and the Cable-Knit Half-Zip Sweater offers the same navy with a zip collar.
