Expert construction is The Row's standard. Even at markdown, expect impeccable seams and quality materials.
Is the price fair?
At 1175 USD (marked down), this is an accessible entry to The Row's cardigan quality. Fair value for the brand's meticulous construction.
Best for
A woman seeking a tailored, minimalist cardigan from a prestige house without paying the brand's full premium.
Care
Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry to maintain shape and prevent shoulder stretch.
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.
