Product Insights
This cardigan combines a sailor collar with durable, one-of-a-kind horn buttons that develop a patina over time, while its 60% reprocessed cotton, 40% acrylic blend resists pilling and is warm yet lightweight for layering. The horn buttons are biodegradable by-products of the meat industry, and the reprocessed cotton reduces virgin fiber use, though the garment requires hand washing and flat drying to preserve both the knit and buttons. At $69 CAD, it sits mid-market for cotton-acrylic knits, offering a tradeoff between distinctive, sustainable materials and special care needs.
