OK

Received my first cardigan aka "Mr. Rogers sweater" today by Polo. It's a navy cable knit with horn buttons and while I wish the pony logo wasn't there, I can't complain about the fit. Maybe I'll post pics later.

Also, I machine washed my Merino/Angora cable knits the other day with good results. The spin cycle took out most of the water and I shaped them and laid them flat to finish drying. Wore one yesterday. They still have that soft, oily feel to them so I guess I did something right.

Perm Press cycle with a little Tide. In hindsight I probably should have turned them inside-out.

Pls post pics. What fabric is it made from?

I would like to get the pima cardigan (already got a pima sweater some week ago), it's simple and it's reasonably priced ($50-$60 NWT on the Bay as you probably know), but I'm hesitating due to the pony logo.

I'm probably the biggest fan on here of Polo's younger sister, Rugby.

It's cotton. I have a pima v-neck but haven't worn it in awhile. Wife got it for $5 new. The cardigan was $15 new with tags & extra buttons on eBay.

Fit easily makes up for the logo - perfect length.

Look with the jeans goes great, unless you're referring to whatever is going on with the fly.

Thanks! I meant I should have had my dark blue STF jeans on instead of the black.

Looks great!

But how come I never find those crazy deals on eBay? After all, I'm browsing almost every day.

Rare sizes? (that's what happens to me
