Navy, snowflakes and a turtleneck: the essentials of a winter knit, as Ralph Lauren interpreted them in the 1990s. The Fair Isle pattern draws on northern knitting traditions, and the touch of cashmere makes it as comfortable as it is classic.
Back view: navy snowflake Fair Isle knitThis jumper was made by Ralph Lauren in the 1990s. It is knitted in navy blue with a snowflake Fair Isle pattern and a turtleneck collar, in a wool blend with 20% cashmere. The size is M, with a length of 25 in and 16 in pit to pit.
A classic winter knit, softened with cashmere.
Fair Isle knitting takes its name from a small island in Shetland, where patterned knitwear has a long tradition. Snowflake motifs belong to the related knitting of Scandinavia, and together they have become the classic language of winter jumpers.
Ralph Lauren founded his company in New York in 1967, beginning with ties under the Polo name. Over the following decades the brand built its identity on classic and heritage styles, and patterned winter knitwear became one of its recognisable pieces.
Knitwear from 1990s Ralph Lauren is collected for its quality and classic patterns. Snowflake and Fair Isle designs are popular with vintage buyers, and pieces with cashmere in the blend are especially appreciated.
1990s Ralph Lauren pieces remain among the most popular in vintage fashion, particularly knitwear.
Wool and cashmere knits can pill or felt with wear, so well-kept examples from the 1990s are less common.
Fair Isle and snowflake jumpers return every winter, and original vintage pieces are sought for their quality and character.
