Cut and details
The iconic shawl collar cardigan, inspired by the one worn by Steve McQueen that we had wanted to offer at Ardent for years, has finally arrived. Finely ribbed, it is woven in an off-white or ecru shade with contrasting brown leather buttons. Its thick shawl collar and leather buttons will bring a rustic and elegant touch.
Knitted with 2 peasant pockets on the sides, the fit is classic in the sense that the shawl collar cardigan is worn slightly loose. The buttoning is not too high and its 5 leather buttons allow it to be fully or partially closed. Our cardigan is made to be worn without a jacket, with jeans or over a shirt and dress pants. It is a classic and very versatile piece, to rely on when winter arrives. This Shawl Collar cardigan fits true to size, you can go for your usual size.

Geelong Lambswool
Geelong wool comes from the first shearing of lambs. A natural insulator, it will allow your skin to breathe unlike synthetic fibers. Due to the natural texture of the wool, small air pockets form between the fibers which can trap and release heat, allowing the wool to maintain the wearer's body temperature. Naturally stretchy, wool adapts to you and does not retain odors, most of the time you just need to air out your sweater after use. If you take care of it and space out wears, it will last for many years.

Wonderful and durable wool
Wool is a remarkable material that surpasses all synthetic fibers in terms of comfort, health, and durability. The fiber is comfortable because it breathes and naturally regulates temperature. It is hypoallergenic, meaning it is unlikely to cause allergies. Wool is 100% natural, renewable, and biodegradable. In short, we could go on and on about the wonderful properties of wool, which by nature is a circular fiber. If you want to make a conscious choice, based on sustainable principles, wear natural fibers like wool, which are durable and respectful of your skin and the earth.
