Product Insights

Twik's Horn Buttons Sailor Collar Cardigan revives the 1830s Royal Navy sailor collar—V-front, square-back—that frames the face and broadens the shoulders, and the Indigo colorway echoes the navy Miu Miu version Alexa Chung wore in the current revival. Knit from 60% recycled cotton and 40% acrylic, it resists pilling and static better than pure acrylic, shrinks far less than a 100% cotton knit, holds its boxy shape and collar through wear, and drapes more fluidly while staying warm and lightweight. Genuine horn buttons—one-of-a-kind, biodegradable by-products of the meat industry—add patina over time, though they make the cardigan not fully vegan, and the care routine (hand wash cool, dry flat) is a tradeoff for preserving the knit and buttons. With a recycled-cotton share tied to a claimed 27% lower CO2 footprint (a program-wide figure), the cardigan is available in three naval colorways across all 15 variants at 69 CAD.

Verified claims

Sailor collar
Its sailor collar dates from 1830s Royal Navy uniforms and Queen Victoria's 1846 royal sailor suit.
Collar shape
The sailor collar is V-shaped at the front with a square flap across the back.
Runway revival
The Indigo option matches the navy Miu Miu sailor cardigan Alexa Chung wore in the current revival.
Collar proportions
V-front, square-back sailor collar frames the face and widens the shoulder line.
Collar fabric
The 60/40 cotton-acrylic knit keeps the sailor collar soft at the neck and crisp through wear.
Fit
Buyers report the relaxed, boxy cut fits true to size from XS to XL.
Care
Hand wash in cool water and dry flat to preserve the knit and horn buttons.
Color palette
Ivory/Cream Beige, Indigo/Dark Blue, and Red — classic naval hues — work naturally with white trousers, denim, and gold accents.
Fabric performance
Resists pilling better than pure acrylic and is warm yet lightweight for layering.
Nautical styling
Indigo/Dark Blue can be styled like Alexa Chung's navy sailor-collar cardigan from Miu Miu: black jeans and loafers.
Pilling resistance
Cotton-acrylic blend is less pill-prone than pure acrylic, extending usable life.
Shrinkage
Shrinkage stays far below a 100% cotton knit, preserving the boxy fit and button alignment.
Shape retention
Acrylic keeps the sailor collar and front placket from stretching out of shape through wear and washes.
Static cling
In dry air, this cardigan clings and picks up lint less than pure acrylic.
Skin feel
The sailor collar stays soft and non-irritating at the neck and chest.
Moisture balance
In heated rooms, this cardigan stays less clammy than a pure-acrylic knit.
Reprocessed cotton
60% reprocessed cotton, 40% acrylic; recycled share meets Vision's bar, tied to 27% lower CO2.
Horn buttons
Buttons are genuine horn, a biodegradable by-product of the meat industry, and each one is one-of-a-kind.
Footprint methodology
CO2 and water badges rest on garment life-cycle analysis; the 27% CO2 figure is program-wide, not per garment.
Button character
Genuine horn buttons are one-of-a-kind and develop a patina over time.
Sustainability
Horn buttons are petroleum-free, biodegradable meat-industry by-products; the cardigan is not fully vegan.
Wash stability
The acrylic content resists shrinking, keeping the boxy shape and collar intact after hand washing.
Drape
Weighs less and drapes more fluidly than a 100% cotton knit.
Value
All 15 color-size variants are in stock at the same 69 CAD.
Variant availability
