Nom de Guerre Shawl Collar Cardigan

I was a huge fan of this sweater when I first saw the sample way back in January. So last Thursday was almost like Christmas morning for me when it finally arrived after waiting so long for it to come and seeing it pop up everywhere else. Months later, I still love it. A good chunky knit cardigan is something that I think everyone should have and this one is the best. I really have no problem saying that now that I've got it, felt it, tried it on and seen it on other people. Made from 80% Lambswool and 20% nylon the sweater is much softer than you'd expect from a thick wool sweater like it. The colour is unbeatable too. The marled oatmeal is something a bit more interesting than your usual black or navy piece of fall knitwear and looks good with every shirt type and colour we've thrown at it. Jeans, chinos and suit pants all stood up to the test as well. Expensive yes, but the investment is definitely worth it as the slightly slim fitting cardigan fits fantastically and has endless co-ordination options. The tight knit and nylon mean the sweater will hold its shape for years.

Available at The Shop

PSA: Plugging our own store is unbecoming. I know. The only reason this post wasn't written 2 weeks ago is because we wanted to shoot it ourselves to give the piece some justice.  If you live in Europe you can also get it at End.

oy thats a NDG shirt in the detail picture right? I like color. I need more shirts. I have a nasty habit of sticking with blue and white oxfords when I can't think of anything else to wear

It looks great, but I think chunky knits work better if they are a little oversize. With NDG's slim sizing, it's pretty hard to size up to achieve that great slouchy fit.

How about a grey oxford? Check the shop in a couple days...

It is a NDG shirt in the shot, it's from last fall.
