Refined Texture and Superior Softness: The Estate-Rib Pullover
The Polo Ralph Lauren Long Sleeve Estate Knit Pullover is a definitive piece of knitwear, renowned for its exceptional comfort and ability to bridge the gap between casual and polished style. It's most commonly identified as the Estate-Rib Quarter-Zip Pullover.
Signature Estate-Rib Fabric
The cornerstone of this piece is Polo's proprietary Estate-Rib fabric. Unlike standard cotton, this lightweight material undergoes a specific treatment process to achieve its characteristic softness:
-
Estate-Rib Knit: A subtle, textured vertical rib pattern gives the sweater a refined depth and visual interest.
-
Peached and Brushed: The cotton is mechanically processed (peached and brushed) to raise the fibers, creating a soft, almost velvety surface feel.
-
Washed Finish: A final wash enhances its supple hand-feel, ensuring the pullover is exceptionally soft from the very first wear.
Style Details
This pullover is offered in a versatile Regular Fit and features classic details that make it easy to layer:
-
Closure: Quarter-zip (or half-zip) placket allows for adjustable ventilation and easy layering over collared shirts.
-
Collar: Mockneck (or stand collar) provides a clean, refined line.
- Emblem: Finished with the unmistakable signature embroidered Polo Pony on the left chest.

Material Composition: Typically 100% Cotton.

Care Instructions: Due to the fine treatment of the cotton, machine care is often recommended: Machine wash cold with like colors. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry to best preserve the softness and shape of the knit.
