J. Crew Men's Icon Navy Wool Shawl Cardigan Sweater - Slim Medium

This is THE Wool Shawl Cardigan Sweater from J. Crew's Icon collection a few years ago. These were select elevated pieces that J. Crew used exceptional materials and construction. This cardigan is a Size Small, but fits like a J.Crew Slim Medium. See measurements below. Some unique details: Welt Patch Pockets (1 chest, 2 sides) Thick knit cuffs Slim Fit (Tagged Small, but fits like a Slim Medium) Heavyweight wool (this wool is thickly knit, with slightly dry feel) Substantial Shawl (not too wide, but of a heavier weight) Leather Buttons (replacements included) Approximate Measurements: Chest: 20" Length (BOC): 26" Sleeve (from end of shoulder): 25.5" From J. Crew: No one knows exactly who came up with the shawl. We do know that, at some point during the 1920s, the open-front sweater crossed paths with the Victorian smoking jacket—the originator of the shawl collar—and an iconic piece of knitwear was born. Since the smoking jacket was originally intended to be worn at home, it's possible that the shawl cardigan was meant as a softer, cozier alternative. But it ultimately sprung from the home to become a stylish, cold-weather favorite outdoors as well. This one, in 100 percent wool with welt pockets, is our quintessential take. Wool. Welt pockets. Dry clean.
