Compared within this brand.
| Alex Embroidered Orb Sweater: Choose this if you want a relaxed, straight-cut crewneck in 100% wool, with a fine smooth knit, ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, and a small multicolor embroidered orb on the left chest against a plain back. It comes in Off White in sizes small through x-large, and the lightweight knit is described as hanging loosely to the hip on the model shown. Note that the loose fit and hip-length hem are described as they appear on that model, so they may vary with your body and chosen size.[1,2,3,4] | Alex Embroidered Orb Cardigan: Choose this if you want a relaxed-fit, long-sleeve V-neck cardigan in a soft cotton-cashmere blend (85% organic cotton, 15% cashmere), made in Italy and finished with fine ribbed trims along the collar, cuffs and hem. It suits shoppers drawn to the British label's signature look: the iconic orb is embroidered in colourful threads on the left chest, which the retailer describes as a baroque accent. The deep teal-green version shown buttons up the front with five brown buttons and offers two flap patch pockets, though the embroidery is a small, subtle detail rather than a bold statement.[5,6,7,8] |
