Cardigans

The history of the Cardigan is well documented with its roots tracing back as far as the Crimean War.

James Thomas Brudenell was the 7th Earl of Cardigan - He was known as the homicidal Earl, led the charge of the light brigade, and he's who the sweater is named after.

Our version features a fully-fashioned lightweight merino wool and shell button.

Wear it with a collared shirt, even a blazer over the top and a thick scarf tucked into it.

Equally functional as outerwear or a layering piece.

Available now in-store and online.
