100% pure cashmere · Almond, Truffle, Chocolate, Carbon, Sterling
The polo, softened. Knitted thick in 100% pure cashmere, with a ribbed collar that turns down and a relaxed line, the Pure Cashmere Polo carries the ease of a favorite sweater with a little more structure at the neck. The knit is soft and lofty in the hand. Loose enough to layer, polished enough to wear on its own.

Materials & Care
Every Aelse piece begins with the material. We work in leather tanned to soften with wear, suede, cashmere, wool and alpaca chosen for the hand, silk, linen and ramie that breathe, and slow beauty made from botanicals. Natural where it can be, considered where it can't — chosen to last and to be kept.
Made to Order Policy
Made-to-order work is created with care, intention, and mutual trust.
If a return is requested, the item must be returned and received in its original condition before a refund is issued. Refunds cannot be processed while an item remains with the client.
To protect the integrity of our custom process, future commissions are offered at our discretion.
Size & Fit Info
Want the perfect fit?
Before checkout, add size info in the cart and enter your bust, waist, hips, height, and weight. We’ll personally review your measurements before shipping to ensure every piece fits beautifully—because when it fits, it flatters. And when it flatters, it lasts.

What women keep telling us
Worn, and not let go of
“Warm as a blanket, looks like the runway. Highly recommend.”
“Threw a blazer on at JFK, walked into a client meeting. No wrinkles. New travel uniform.”
“The quality and cut is out of this world. I'm always getting compliments.”
Small batches. Scarce fabrics.
The Aelse Difference
Every Aelse piece is created in small batches — shaped by careful hands, scarce fabrics, and techniques that honor where they come from. Clothing that stays with you through shifting seasons, restless cities, and the many versions of you.
Longevity before novelty
Aelse is not priced for impulse. It is priced for women who choose with intention.
Pieces that learn you
Leather that softens, knits that settle, fabrics that remember your touch. A piece becomes yours because it stays long enough to hold your story.
Minimal waste, meaningful production
Some pieces are crafted on demand. This lowers excess, avoids landfill cycles, and protects the integrity of our makers.
For women who move — through cities, seasons, and selves. Who repair what they love, and understand that longevity is its own kind of luxury.
A considered timeline
Because our pieces are made slowly, some orders take a little longer. A few weeks now means years of wear later.
Small-batch quality
We work with ateliers, cultural partners, and independent makers who specialize in long-lasting craft.
A fit made for you
Share your measurements at checkout — we tailor our recommendations to reduce returns and ensure a piece you'll keep.
Scarcity with honesty
When fabrics and materials run out, we don't replace them. Some pieces won't return.
Questions, answered
How do you style a cashmere polo sweater?
Lay the ribbed collar out over the lapel of a leather jacket, or wear the polo on its own with trousers or a skirt and a flat shoe. Once the cold sets in, it goes under a coat.
Can you wear a cashmere polo without a shirt underneath?
Yes. It is a pullover: the ribbed collar sits on a closed neckline with no placket or buttons, and the loose cut is made to be worn as the base layer, on its own or under a coat.
How should a cashmere sweater fit?
This polo is cut loose and relaxed. Choose by chest: it measures 37.4 in around in M, 39.4 in in L and 41.3 in in XL, with a body length of 22.8 to 23.6 in and shoulders of 14.6 to 15.4 in. Measurements were taken by hand on one colour, so allow about 0.8 in either way.
How do you wash a cashmere sweater?
Hand wash or dry clean, the same care as our other pure cashmere pieces.
Are cashmere sweaters worth it?
If you will reach for it most days, yes. This one is knitted thick in 100% pure cashmere, soft and lofty in the hand, with a ribbed collar that turns down, so one piece reads as both a polo and a sweater.
