MAKEMECHIC Metal Button Down Old Cardigan

A fitted knit cardigan that gives a soft, low murmur when you move. The fabric has a close hold across the body and a little spring at the hem. Metal buttons catch light without clinking, and the black colourway reads solid in photographs while the knit still settles with a gentle drape.

Over a long day the cardigan keeps its shape rather than slacken. In a hot room it breathes without flattening. In a windy walk the edges sit where they fall and the fit tames the motion. Between two size letters the cut will feel firmer at the shoulders and softer through the waist.

One of 229 on the knits and layers rail in the MAKEMECHIC catalogue. It also answers to cardigans. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
