Polo Ralph Lauren American Flag Intarsia Knit Sweater

Polo Ralph Lauren — The Flag. In Every Thread.

Ralph Lauren built an entire world around the American dream — the romanticised version of it, the one that smells like cedar and sea air and old money. The American Flag Intarsia Knit Sweater is the single piece that captures that world most completely: a full-size Stars and Stripes rendered entirely in knit, woven directly into the fabric of the sweater, not printed, not embroidered, but intarsia knit — every stripe, every star, every colour change a result of the construction itself.

The flag spans the full chest. Red and white horizontal stripes run edge to edge. The blue canton with white stars sits in the upper left. “RL” in red knit marks the lower right corner, the only branding on the piece. It is heavy, dense, and built to last decades — the kind of garment that becomes more interesting the more it is worn.

How to Wear It

Navy — The flag pops in full colour against the deep navy ground. The most classic version — the one Ralph would wear himself. Pair with chino trousers, white Oxford shirt underneath, and brown leather loafers.
Grey — The more contemporary choice. The flag sits with a different mood on grey — less preppy, more directional. Wear with black denim or dark trousers and white trainers.
