Product Insights
The Cable-Knit Cardigan by Le 31 is a medium-weight knit that provides warmth without bulk, suitable for layering under a coat or standalone. Its 100% recycled cotton with a nubbly texture resists pilling, while the ribbed knit and twisted cables create memory that resists bagging and distortion. The textured cable-knit surface conceals light pilling, keeping the front panel near-new. It is machine washable on gentle cycle with cold water to maintain shape. The core promise is shape retention and pilling concealment with easy care; the main tradeoff is the need for gentle washing to preserve the shape.

Layering over a T-shirt for easy everyday wear
This cable-knit cardigan works as an open layer over a plain T-shirt, as shown in the product photos where it's styled over a white tee with beige trousers. The deep V-neck opening, straight hem that sits at the hips, and slightly relaxed sleeves support a casual layered look, and the 100% recycled cotton knit is described by the retailer as ultra-comfortable.[1,2,3,4]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Cable-Knit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a classic cable-knit cardigan with a V-neck button front, ribbed trims, and tonal buttons, made from 100% reprocessed cotton in a Navy/Midnight Blue colorway available in sizes small, medium, and large. The vertical cable pattern covers the front, back, and sleeves, with a wide ribbed hem and cuffs for a traditional look. Note that it comes only in navy in this variant, and the cotton is reprocessed (recycled), which suits shoppers seeking that material choice.[1,2,4] | Textured Knit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a short, cropped cardigan with a relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette, a deep V button placket, and a pronounced nubby, bouclé-like knit made of 100% recycled cotton with ribbed cuffs and hem. It suits shoppers who like a textured, waist-length layer worn open or buttoned, with drop shoulders and long sleeves. It comes in Ivory and Blue in sizes Medium through X-Large, so it may not work if you prefer a longer length or a size outside that range.[5,6,7] | Soft Knit Minimalist Cardigan: Choose this if you want a minimalist V-neck button-up cardigan in a soft, stretchy recycled cotton blend (57% reprocessed cotton, 38% cotton, 5% spandex) with ribbed edging at the cuffs and hem. Its hip-length, relaxed straight cut comes in sizes from small to x-large across five colors, including charcoal, mossy green, and patterned options. Note that not every size is listed in every color, so check that your size and color combination is offered.[8,9,10] |

perfect color
I have been searching for a pale yellow cardigan for ages and this was the perfect color and size. Material is soft. I did not purchase this on sale and I thought it was worth the price.
100% coton cardigan
I just love this cardi, the color is perfect , since all my wardrobe is neutral color . I'm a women and I find that your store ,wich I only shop at, have more selection in natural fiber like cotton and wool in the man section. plus it look so much like a Ralh Lauren ( my favorite bran) that I saw on there site . And by the way they don't ship in quebec ? Good think your store have some of there clothes .
