Quick verdict

This is a black rabbit-hair pullover with a washed, distressed finish, a geometric pattern, and a cotton lining option listed in sizes S–3XL. No buyer reports describe this exact listing, so the sizing guidance below comes from other Ralph Lauren knits. Ask the seller for a flat chest measurement before ordering.

Pros

  • · Ralph Lauren is broadly regarded by buyers as a mass-market brand that still holds good quality for its price tier.
  • · The listing spans S–3XL and offers black and white in both plain and fleece-lined colorways.

Cons

  • · Reports on other Ralph Lauren knit and sweatshirt pieces describe pilling or bobbling after only one or two wears, with hand washing recommended to slow it over time.

Fit notes

Buyers of the Ralph Lauren cable-knit sweater report it runs small and recommend sizing up or comparing chest measurements, and Chinese marketplace listings flag the style as running small. Those reports are not about this SKU, so treat S–3XL as nominal and compare a flat chest measurement before ordering.

Buy if

You want a regular-weight black sweater for daily wear and are willing to confirm a chest measurement first. The listing covers black and white in both plain and fleece-lined colorways across S–3XL, so most builds have a version to choose from.

Skip if

You want a fit you can order without measuring, or you need assured resistance to pilling — reports on other Ralph Lauren knits describe pilling after one or two wears and suggest hand washing as the mitigation.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Does this sweater run small?⌄

Reviews of the Ralph Lauren cable-knit sweater say it runs small and suggest sizing up, and Chinese marketplace listings flag the style as runs small. None of those reports covers this listing, so measure rather than assume.

What does the listing say about the fabric?⌄

It describes a rabbit-hair main fabric on a flat weave with a washed, distressed finish, listed at 180g–250g and marked as a regular thickness.

Is this sweater hooded or crew neck?⌄

The listing states both a crew neck and a hood, and lists both a lining and a cotton lining, so those fields conflict. Confirm which version you are buying with the seller before ordering.

Will it pill?⌄

Some Ralph Lauren knit and sweatshirt pieces are reported to pill or bobble after one or two wears, with hand washing suggested to reduce it. That reporting covers other pieces, not this one.

Is the price unusually low?⌄

No. Orders here route through shopping agents, so a reference price below the brand's own retail is the normal sourcing model rather than a signal about the item.
