Polo Bear Wool & Cashmere Crewneck Sweater

The color of this sweater is quite different from what I expected. In the photos, it looked like a rich hunter or forest green, but in person, it’s more of a muted, mossy shade. The fabric also feels light and a bit scratchy — more like a mohair blend — and not as soft or luxurious as I would’ve hoped for the price. I realize I could have researched more before purchasing, but for the cost, I expected higher quality. It also seems like it might shed or pill easily. Overall, not terrible, but definitely disappointing for the price point.

The Ralph Lauren iconic bear sweater is always a classic, and this one is no exception — the design is timeless, stylish, and instantly recognizable. I love the look and the fit; it’s versatile enough to dress up or down. That said, the material feels noticeably lighter compared to bear sweaters I’ve purchased in the past. While it’s still comfortable, I was expecting the heavier, more substantial knit that the brand is known for. If you’re looking for warmth, this version is better suited for layering rather than wearing on its own in colder weather. Overall, it’s a great piece for the collection — just be aware the fabric is lighter than the traditional bear sweaters.
