The verdict
Fit
The Row's essential polos are likely contemporary and lean without drama. Expect clean armholes and minimal bulk through the body; collar style depends on the specific cut.
Quality
At 1490 USD, this is an essential from The Row — reliable construction, careful detail, solid seaming. Fiber composition unknown; assume quality wool or blend with standard durability.
Is the price fair?
Mid-range for The Row. Polo-weight knits from established makers cost 250–400 USD; the premium here is brand and design, not material gains.
Best for
Men in The Row's orbit looking for a versatile essential they can layer or wear solo.
Care
Machine wash cold on gentle or hand-wash; air-dry to prevent collar distortion.
What owners report about The Row sweaters
Owners describe The Row's cashmere as unusually dense and heavy compared with other knits they own — one reviewer reports her sweater is thicker than every other cashmere piece in her closet and warm even as a short-sleeve style. Reviewers consistently call the quality exceptional, but value is the sticking point: retail runs around $1,000 per sweater, and one reviewer returned hers because the fit ran too oversized and the quality gap over much cheaper knits didn't justify the price. The same owners caution that quality is not uniform across the line — it varies by style.
- Strengths
- Reviewers report noticeably thick, dense cashmere that outclasses most other knits they own in hand-feel and warmth.
- Watch out for
- Reviewers repeatedly question the roughly $1,000 price — several say the quality edge over cheaper knits is too small to justify it — and note quality varies from style to style.
- Sizing
- Owners report fit skews oversized on some styles and differs between cuts (crew necks fit differently from other shapes), so they advise checking measurements per piece rather than assuming one size.
