Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Ponara Fluffy Braided Weave Sweater: Choose this if you want a warm, fluffy mid-season sweater with a relaxed, boxy silhouette, a wide boatneck, and a braided cable detail along the sleeves and upper back — it's a light grey knit of 86% virgin wool and 14% polyamide, made in Italy. Note that it's listed only in sizes 34, 38, and 40 in grey, and the fluffy haloed knit shows small openings near the shoulder seams.[1,2,3,4] | Tulliam Cashmere-Merino Blend Braided Sweater: Choose this if you want a relaxed, long-sleeve crew neck in a luxurious 70% merino wool and 30% cashmere blend, made in a light pink tone. Its signature XL tone-on-tone braided panels run from the raglan shoulder seams down the front sides and finish in long braided tassels near the hips, over a dense vertical rib knit that appears medium-weight and slightly chunky. Ribbed collar, cuffs, and a wider ribbed hem complete the look, and it comes in sizes 36 to 42.[5,6,7] |
