Full details

The Polo Ralph Lauren Iconic Flag Jumper is designed for adults seeking a stylish, casual piece that celebrates American heritage. Its key benefit is the unique, iconic flag design offering a blend of historical inspiration and modern comfort. A potential consideration is its regular fit, which may require sizing down for those accustomed to women's specific fits.

FAQs

What does 'intarsia' mean in relation to the flag design?

Intarsia is a knitting technique used to create patterned designs by knitting in different colored yarns for each section of the pattern, rather than overlaying or embroidery. This creates a seamless, integrated design on both the front and back of the fabric.

How should women determine their size in this unisex jumper?

Polo Ralph Lauren suggests that women order one size down from their usual size. For example, if you typically wear a women's large, a size medium is recommended for this style.

Is the jumper suitable for very cold weather?

The jumper is made of 100% cotton, offering moderate warmth. It is best suited for transitional seasons or as a layer under heavier outerwear in colder climates.

Can I machine dry the jumper?

Yes, the jumper is machine washable. However, for best results and to preserve the knit and graphic details, tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry. High heat can cause shrinkage or damage.

What is the inspiration behind the flag design?

The design is inspired by historic American flags, including the one that flew over Fort McHenry, which inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner". Ralph Lauren also funded the restoration of such a flag.

Does the jumper have any specific care requirements for the embroidery?

While machine washable, it is advisable to avoid direct ironing on the embroidered stars and "RL" to prevent damage. Washing on a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh chemicals will help maintain the embroidery's quality.

What are the dimensions for a size medium?

A size medium measures 69 cm long (front and back), has a 109 cm chest, 45 cm shoulder width, and 64 cm sleeve length.

Troubleshooting

Jumper appears too large or boxy.

Consult the sizing guide and consider ordering one size down, especially if you typically wear women's sizing. The 'Regular fit' is designed to be wider in the chest.

Color bleeding during washing.

Always wash with like colors in cold water. Ensure the garment is fully rinsed and avoid soaking for extended periods.

Knit pattern or embroidery becoming distorted.

Avoid high heat settings in the dryer. Lay flat to dry and do not iron directly over the decorative elements. Consider hand washing for delicate care.
