Textured Tweed Knit Cardigan

About this piece

A short-sleeve shirt on a relaxed block, with a plain placket and no shoulder yoke bulk. It is deliberately straightforward. There is one obvious way to use it, it works the way you expect, and it does not need to be handled carefully to survive normal life. It comes in 1 colour.

Fabric and feel

Knitted rather than woven, so the surface has a fine, even grain and the fabric moves in both directions. That two-way give is what lets a knitted piece sit close to the body without pulling across the chest, and it is why the seams stay flat instead of standing up along the shoulder.

Cut and fit

Pattern pieces are cut to a consistent grain, which is why the two sides hang the same way instead of one twisting forward. Fastenings are load-bearing: the buttons, zip or drawcord are the ones the design actually needs, not the cheapest that would hold the shape on a shelf. It is graded S/M/L/XL, and the flat measurements for every size are in the chart below. The seams are flat-felled or bound rather than overlocked and left raw, so there is nothing to catch and nothing to fray out of the wash. Hems are re-turned twice before stitching, and the shoulder seam carries a strip of tape so it does not stretch out of line on a hanger.

Getting the collar right

A button-up shirt with a clean front and a collar that holds its shape when worn open as well as buttoned. Pockets, plackets and waistbands are the parts that decide whether a garment gets worn, so they are treated as structure rather than as decoration. Detailed where it needs to be and plain where it does not. The shape is kept quiet so it works with what you already own rather than only with the rest of one collection.

Wearing, washing and keeping it

It is built to be worn rather than saved for an occasion — the cloth takes a full day in it, and the cut reads the same at the end of that day as it did at the start.

Measurements by size

Measured flat, in centimetres. Knitwear relaxes and settles after the first wash, so allow for up to 2 cm of movement in either direction.

Allow 1-2 cm of tolerance, since the garments are cut and sewn by hand rather than stamped. If your measurement lands between two sizes, take the larger one - our fits are not vanity sized.

How we would wear it

1. Buttoned, no tie

   The collar has enough stand to look deliberate on its own.

2. Open over a tee

   Works as a light layer without the collar collapsing.

3. Tucked with a belt

   Long enough to stay tucked through a day of sitting and standing.

4. Untucked with denim

   The hem line is cut to look intentional rather than borrowed.

Care

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle and dry flat in the shade. Do not hang a wet knit — the weight is what stretches shoulders out of line. Do not tumble dry and do not iron directly; steam from the reverse if it needs refreshing between washes.
