Polo Ralph Lauren Slim Crew Neck Cardigan - Grey - M

No, this cardigan uses high-quality Italian merino wool, which is known for its fine, soft texture that is typically comfortable against the skin.

While it is machine washable, high heat can cause shrinkage. It is strongly recommended to wash on a cold, delicate cycle and lay flat to dry.

Compare the provided body length (56 cm for size M) and sleeve length (62 cm) against a cardigan you already own that fits you well.

Merino wool is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, making it a viable option for cool summer evenings or heavily air-conditioned offices.

Always fold the sweater and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it, as the weight of the wool can cause the shoulders and fabric to stretch over time.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific fabric conditioner and avoid high-spin cycles.

Use a specialized fabric shaver or a sweater stone to gently remove surface fuzz, which is common with natural wool fibers.

Check the thread tension regularly and reinforce with a needle and matching thread to prevent loss of the shell buttons.
