A cardigan is the whole outfit if it fits

Cable knit dresses and five button-front cardigans, cut in Longview for desks, kitchens and the drive between them.

Layer, then leave

Three dresses for the day, five cardigans for the rooms the day passes through.

Ribbed Knit Collared Cardigan With Elegant Gold Button Front

A placket that does not wave

The front of a cardigan is the part that fails first. We interface the placket so it stays flat after the third wash, reinforce the buttonholes, and sew every button on a shank so it sits over the knit instead of sinking into it. Fit through the bust is checked on three sizes, because a cardigan that gapes between buttons is a cardigan that stays on the hanger. Cable panels are tested for weight as well as texture: they should hold a line without stiffening the body under them.

The standard

If it gapes, it does not ship

A cardigan is outerwear in practice. It is cut, interfaced and checked the way a jacket would be, because that is how it gets worn.

Green Long Sleeve Cable Textured Round Neck Sheath Sweater Dress

The close-up: cable, scallop, button

A cable panel, a scalloped hem knitted in rather than sewn on, and a gold-tone button that has been worn against the yarn to check for tarnish. The details are photographed close because that is where the difference sits.
