Polo Ralph Lauren 2011 Black & Red Hand-Knit Steer head Sweater

Somewhere between Yellowstone and a midnight poker table, this sweater walked in—unapologetic, hand-knit, and bold as the red rock mesas that inspired it. Woven in smoky-black wool, stitched with a scarlet steer skull and trim that doesn’t whisper—it howls. Not the reindeer-clad holiday number Grandma handed you. This is Ralph’s vision of rugged sophistication: a pullover with a shawl collar that folds just so, and a hand-carved wooden toggle that fastens like a campfire story—rough-hewn, timeless, unforgettable. Arrows blaze down the sleeves, in feathered knitwork, giving the impression you may, in fact, have won it from a Navajo chief in a bet. Maybe you did. Hand-knit from a rustic blend of lambswool, wool, and linen, this isn’t just a sweater—it’s a story told in yarn. You won’t find this in a boardroom. This was made for cabins where the firewood’s stacked high, the whiskey’s poured neat, and the silence is earned. The body is coal-black—chunky knit with a raw, almost primitive texture you’ll feel in your palms. Warming, weighty, noble—like something you’d pull over your head before stepping into the dark to check on the horses or walk the ridge. The blood-red steerhead across the chest? Bold, unapologetically Western. Shoulder panel design is a nod to saddle blankets. Must have. Feels like it remembers campfires, like it was meant to be worn under starlight. Gently worn, and even better for it. Pairs well with bourbon.
