The verdict
Fit
Typically close-fitting with The Row's clean shoulders. Available in multiple colors and variants, so fit may vary slightly; size true or up for ease.
Quality
At 890 USD, The Row delivers solid construction and good yarn quality. This is entry-level for the brand but still durable and refined.
Is the price fair?
Nearly 900 USD is still expensive for a sweater, but positioned as The Row's foundation piece. Fair if the yarn is good and you value the minimalist aesthetic.
Best for
Someone exploring The Row or building a neutral wardrobe and willing to invest in quality basics.
Care
Hand wash in cool water or delicate machine; dry flat to preserve shape.
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.
