What kinds of cardigans does Chevignon offer?

  • Men's cardigans: a shawl-collar knit, a zip cardigan with the embroidered duck, and pique knits with patch pockets.
  • Women's cardigans: bomber and varsity silhouettes, a wrap style, long cardigans with fringe, and knits with lace, cable stitch, or lurex thread.

What does heavy gauge mean in a knit?

A heavy gauge uses thicker yarn and fewer stitches per inch, so the knit is warmer and more textured. A light gauge is thinner and easier to layer under a jacket.


What is full fashion construction?

It shapes each knit panel to its final form on the machine, so there is less fabric to trim at the seams. The cardigan sits flatter and holds its shape longer than a cut-and-sew knit.


How do you wear a cardigan?

Wear it open over a t-shirt or buttoned up on its own, with jeans or chinos. Oversized and fringed styles look best over a fitted top underneath.
