This Aran Cardigan was crafted in Ireland and is a timeless classic. It was purchased in a "Made in Ireland" shop in NYC many years ago. It was never worn so is in unused, perfect condition. This men's size Medium cardigan offers a more functional style than most, as it can be worn open as an outer layer or closed to function as a V-Neck cardigan. The cardigan is hand-knitted from traditional, breathable natural organic wool fibers help to regulate your body's temperature. Natural wool like this holds its shape well and is water-resistant due to the natural oils in the wool. The wool is thick, glossy, heavy, and fluffy in feel all at the same time. The color is of this cardigan is a beautiful, creamy white. The leather-effect buttons are brown and look as if they're woven. The patterns on the sweater are varied and complicated and interesting, as seen in the photos. Even thought this is not a new sweater, it was kept in airtight storage in a smoke-free home. Never worn, it appears sparkling and new! Measurements: Armpit to armpit: 21 inches Underarm to bottom hem: 16 inches Neck (shoulder) to bottom of sleeve cuff: 26 inches This would make a perfect gift for a birthday, Father's Day or for anyone who loves Irish style sweaters.
