The distinctive patterns that define the classic Aran jumper – a style favoured by 19th-century Irish fishermen for its unparalleled warmth and hard-wearing construction – were originally knit to signify the wearer's family clan. Polo's vintage-inspired fisherman's jumper, which is made with cotton, cashmere and hemp yarn, symbolises the wearer's membership in a different type of group: those who appreciate form, function and enduring style. Ralph Lauren partners with Better Cotton™ to improve cotton farming globally. Better Cotton trains farmers to use water efficiently, care for the health of soil and natural habitats, reduce use of the most harmful chemicals and implement the principles of decent work.
