DESCRIPTION
The cardigan was named in the 19th century after the British General James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan. The nobleman wore a knitted jacket under his uniform to protect himself better from the cold. In the 1950s, the V-neck cardigan became part of the preppy look at American colleges and high schools and a symbol of well-groomed everyday fashion in Europe.
This TOM RIPLEY model focuses on clean lines and honest materials. It reinterprets the classic with a particularly luxurious appeal. The high-quality merino wool is breathable, temperature-regulating, feels soft, and provides pleasant warmth.
The V-neck looks masculine and creates a clear silhouette. The V-neck looks masculine and creates a clear silhouette. It creates space for layering and gives the cardigan a modern, elegant line. The wide button placket emphasizes the puristic character and ensures a tidy look.
The cardigan can be easily closed with four buttons. Traditionally, the bottom button is left open when worn, but this is not compulsory, but a style rule of classic men's fashion.
A special detail on the sleeves makes the difference: turn-up cuffs. They give the garment a more casual look.
The V-neck cardigan is a timeless classic and can be adapted to any style. It fits over a shirt and tie, but works just as well over a simple T-shirt. Ideal for long days at the office, meetings or relaxed evenings.
This model was conceived and implemented in creative cooperation with the Munich-based content creator Tobi Haas.
