Wearing a Cardigan Open, Half Done, or Closed
Fiber content tells you less about a sweater than most people assume.
Hundreds of variables, one that counts
Open or closed
Knitwear looks like a category with hundreds of variables: fibre, weight, colour, collar, price. In practice one variable decides how the garment behaves — whether the front opens. A pullover is a commitment for the length of the day. A cardigan is adjustable. Everything else is preference.
Gauge, and why we stop at mid
Gauge is stitches per inch, and it is the most accurate forecast of how a sweater will act — almost never printed on the label. Fine sits close and stays smooth. Mid shows its stitch and holds a shoulder line. Chunky is heavy and made for genuinely cold rooms. We sell fine and mid, because those are the hours men actually spend in sweaters: indoors, in buildings heated from comfortable to slightly too warm.
Folded, never hung
Sweaters leave here folded. A knit that travelled on a hanger arrives with two hard bumps at the shoulders, and one wash does not reliably remove them. There is no return label in the box either — printing paper into every order that turns out fine is not care, it is filler. Ask and a prepaid label is emailed within one business day.
