Ralph Lauren 100% Cashmere Open-Side Poncho Cardigan Square-Cut Rib Trim MLOverview
Ralph Lauren open-side poncho cardigan in 100% cashmere with a square/rectangle cut that drapes like a cape when worn. The knit is labeled Made in China of Italian yarn, and the size tag shows M/L. This is the kind of minimal “quiet luxury” layer that works over a tee, button-down, turtleneck, or light jacket.

Inside Tags Read + Codes (decoded from photos)

Internal code on same tag: INT00001609393 (as read from the label).

Design Details
Open sides (no closed underarm seam) for a true poncho/cape silhouette

Square-cut / rectangle construction: lays flat like a blanket-style panel, then drapes into sleeves when worn

Fine-gauge cashmere knit with a soft, lightly “hairy” cashmere surface

Wide rib trim at hem and sleeve/edge areas for structure and clean finish

Minimal branding (label only) for a clean, elevated look

Why It Stands Out
100% cashmere with “Italian yarn” noted on the tag—soft, breathable warmth without bulk

The open-side architecture gives a designer drape and makes sizing more forgiving than a standard cardigan

A strong search advantage comes from listing the internal identifiers: POLO 83701 / INT00001609393 / SUPPLIER PO# 36942

Condition
Pre-owned. No obvious holes or stains are visible in the provided photos; light, normal wear may be present. Photos are the best reference for exact condition.

Fit Notes
This is not a standard “pit-to-pit” sweater. It is a square/rectangle poncho that hangs off the shoulders and creates sleeve openings through the open sides. It typically suits M/L best, but fit can be flexible depending on desired drape.

Measurements (laid flat)
Top width: 126 cm (49.6 in)

Bottom width: 120 cm (47.2 in)

Vertical length: 66 cm (26.0 in)

Measurement note: “Top width” is the width across the upper edge when laid flat; “Bottom width” is the width across the hem edge; “Vertical length” is top edge to hem.

Material
100% Cashmere

Tag notes: Made in China / Of Italian yarn

Bio-Frequency Notes
Natural luxury fibers like cashmere are widely valued for their higher bio-frequency feel—soft, breathable warmth, better thermal regulation, and a more comfortable “second-skin” experience compared with synthetics, especially for layering and long wear.

How to Style
Over a crisp white shirt + tailored trousers for clean “quiet luxury” layering

With a fitted turtleneck + straight-leg denim to balance the drape

Over a slim knit dress or column skirt for a soft cape silhouette

Layered on top of a leather jacket for contrast (soft cashmere vs. structured outerwear)

Garment Care
Cashmere performs best with professional dry cleaning or careful specialist care. Store folded (not hung) to preserve shape; air out between wears.
