Polo Ralph Lauren Sweaters

Most attention on vintage Polo knits goes to the collectible Bear and intarsia sweaters, which leaves the everyday lambswool, Shetland, and cotton knits underpriced. The 1990s pieces used heavier yarn and run large, so an older Large wears like a current XL -- go by measurements, not the tag.

Buying Secondhand Polo Ralph Lauren Sweaters

Polo knitwear is a sprawling category, and the secondhand market fixates on the collectible Bear and intarsia pieces. That leaves the everyday knits -- which are where the quiet value is -- overlooked. Knowing which pieces those are and how the older sizing runs covers most of it.

The Everyday Knits, Not the Collectibles

The plain lambswool, Shetland, and heavy cotton sweaters sell for far less than the Bear and intarsia pieces, and they're the quiet value here. The older examples used denser yarn than current production, which makes a well-kept vintage crew or cable a better buy than its price suggests.

Vintage Runs Large

1990s Polo knitwear was cut fuller than current sizing -- a vintage Large fits closer to a current XL through the chest and shoulders. Go by the chest and shoulder measurements rather than the tag, and screen the heavier knits for pilling at the usual contact points.

Polo Ralph Lauren Sweater Questions

Are vintage Polo sweaters worth buying?

Does vintage Polo knitwear run large?

Yes -- 1990s pieces were cut fuller, so a vintage Large wears like a current XL. Size down and go by the chest and shoulder measurements rather than the label.

What should I check on a used Polo sweater?

Pilling on the heavier knits at contact points, and the chest and shoulder measurements, since older pieces run large. The interior label helps place the era.
