This vintage-inspired cardigan from Loop & Weft is crafted from a unique herringbone pile knit fabric developed in Wakayama using a special knitting machine that recreates the classic woven herringbone pattern in a three-dimensional knit. The exterior features a bold, textured herringbone motif, while the interior is lined with zero-twist yarn, giving the garment a soft, plush handfeel despite its dense construction.
Drawing inspiration from 1950s sports cardigans, this piece features refined vintage detailing: cat’s eye buttons, a ribbed back hem, and extensive narrow rib piping along the neckline, placket, pocket openings, and inner facings. The fit is engineered with a dropped shoulder seam (rear-set for better shaping), producing a regular unisex silhouette with balanced proportions.
Built using two-needle seam construction, the cardigan offers both durability and understated stitchwork that enhances the texture. Over time, the fabric develops more character, making it ideal for layering throughout the year. This cardigan is a considered combination of craftsmanship, comfort, and classic detail.
Fit Notes: Like all Loop & Weft garments, this cardigan runs slightly smaller compared to standard American sizing, reflecting a slimmer, Japanese-style fit. We recommend choosing one size larger than your typical American size. For example, if you usually wear an M in American brands, selecting a size L in this cardigan will offer an optimal fit. However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
