Gani Shell Button Cardigan – Cardigan with Patch Pockets

The shell button cardigan Gani brings a charming, hand-finished detail to soft everyday luxury knitwear. Seen here in a clear Sky blue, it has a relaxed square shape, rolled slash neckline, long sleeves and a striking row of 15 small shell buttons running down the centre front.

The design feels quietly playful without losing polish. Two neat patch pockets sit low on the front, giving the cardigan a useful, easy character, while the rolled cuffs and hem keep the edges soft rather than formal. From the side, the relaxed shoulder line and smooth knit surface create a comfortable drape that sits naturally over the body.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere blend cardigan combines warmth, softness and a lightly structured feel. Gani works beautifully as a button cardigan women can wear over simple tees, fine shirts, dresses or denim when they want colour, comfort and a distinctive shell-button finish.

Why This Shell Button Cardigan Has Character

  • 15 small shell buttons create a beautiful centre-front feature
  • Square bodice gives the cardigan a relaxed, modern outline
  • Slash neckline with rolled edges feels soft and quietly distinctive
  • Patch pockets add charm and everyday usefulness
  • Rolled cuffs and hem keep the finish relaxed rather than stiff
  • 8 Gauge / 3 Ply knit gives gentle substance without heavy bulk
  • Sky blue shade adds freshness to simple outfits
  • A colourful alternative to a plain cashmere blend cardigan

Gani is shaped with a wide slash neckline that sits softly across the upper body. The rolled edge gives the neckline a natural, handmade look, making the cardigan feel less formal than a classic crew neck and more individual than a plain open cardigan.

The centre front is the main feature. A vertical line of 15 shell buttons catches the eye and adds a delicate contrast against the smooth blue knit. The buttons bring a subtle shine without making the cardigan look decorative in a heavy way.

The two patch pockets are placed low on the front, giving the square bodice balance and function. Together with the rolled hem and cuffs, they make Gani feel easy, charming and full of quiet detail.

Gani is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the cardigan its soft, smooth handle, while the lambswool adds warmth, resilience and enough body for the square shape to sit well.

The 8 Gauge / 3 Ply construction gives the knit a comfortable medium feel. It is warmer and more substantial than a fine summer cardigan, but still soft and flexible enough for layering indoors or under outerwear.

The surface of the knit looks smooth and clean in the uploaded images, allowing the shell buttons, rolled trims and pocket details to stand out clearly.

A shell button cardigan gives knitwear a softer, more crafted feeling than an ordinary button cardigan. The natural look of the buttons adds light, texture and personality without needing bold pattern or contrast trim.

Gani is especially useful because the shape is simple but the details are memorable. The slash neck gives openness, the pockets add ease, and the row of buttons creates a vertical line that lengthens the front visually.

It is a strong choice if you want luxury knitwear that feels relaxed, colourful and practical, but still has a design point that makes it recognisable.

Gani is for women who like cardigans with personality, but still want them to be easy to wear. It suits relaxed wardrobes, colourful knitwear collections and anyone who appreciates small details such as shell buttons, pockets and rolled edges.

Wear it over a white tee with jeans for a clear everyday look, layer it over a fine blouse for softer polish, or style it with wide-leg trousers when you want the square shape to feel more contemporary.

This cardigan is also lovely for travel and transitional weather because it gives warmth without feeling overly heavy, and the pockets make it feel practical as well as pretty.

To keep your Gani shell button cardigan soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Fasten or protect the shell buttons before washing
  • Turn inside out to help protect the button detail and rolled edges
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the slash neckline, cuffs, pockets and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the square body and shoulder line

What makes Gani a shell button cardigan?

Gani has a centre-front line of 15 small shell buttons. This detail gives the cardigan its distinctive character and adds a natural, softly polished finish to the knit.

Is the Gani cardigan made from cashmere?

Gani is made from a cashmere and lambswool blend: 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. This gives softness, warmth and better structure for regular wear.

What neckline does this cardigan have?

It has a slash neck with rolled edges. The neckline sits wider than a classic crew neck and gives the cardigan a relaxed, contemporary look.

Are the buttons the main design detail?

Yes. The shell buttons create a clear vertical feature down the centre front, while the patch pockets and rolled edges add extra texture and charm.

Does Gani have pockets?

Yes. Gani has two front patch pockets placed low on the body. They make the cardigan feel practical and give the square shape a more casual, easy finish.

Is this cardigan fitted or relaxed?

Gani has a relaxed one-size shape with a square bodice. It is designed to sit easily on the body rather than cling closely.

What colours is Gani available in?

Gani is available in Cloud Blue, Coral, Sky and Soft Pink. The uploaded images show the Sky colour, a clear blue shade that highlights the shell buttons beautifully.

Can I wear this cardigan over a dress?

Yes. The shorter length, soft rolled hem and decorative button line make Gani easy to layer over dresses without hiding the whole outfit.

Is this suitable for smart casual dressing?

Yes. The shell buttons and slash neckline make it feel more special than a basic cardigan, while the relaxed body keeps it comfortable and wearable.

How should I care for the shell buttons?

Handle them gently, avoid rubbing directly over the button line when washing, and lay the cardigan flat to dry. This helps protect both the buttons and the centre-front finish.

Will the rolled edges stay soft?

Yes, with careful washing and flat drying. Reshape the neckline, cuffs and hem while damp so the rolled edges settle neatly.

What makes Gani different from a plain cardigan?

Gani combines a slash neckline, rolled trims, two patch pockets and 15 shell buttons. These details give it a more crafted and memorable look than a simple everyday cardigan.

Different Types of Ply:

12 Gauge / 2 Ply

12 gauge, 2 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

12-gauge/2-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has two strands twisted together (2-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 12 stitches per inch (12-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a relatively fine texture and high density, making it suitable for garments with a close, fitted, or refined look, such as lightweight sweaters, dresses, or accessories like gloves and scarves.

The 2-ply yarn adds strength and structure to the fabric while maintaining a balanced thickness, ensuring the knitted items are durable and long-lasting.

8 Gauge / 2 Ply

8 gauge, 2 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

8-gauge/2-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has two strands twisted together (2-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 8 stitches per inch (8-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a moderate thickness and density, making it suitable for garments like sweaters, cardigans, and hats, as well as accessories like scarves and mittens.

The 8-gauge allows for a comfortable balance of warmth and breathability, and the 2-ply yarn provides durability and structure to the fabric.

8 Gauge / 4 Ply

8 gauge, 4 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

8-gauge/4-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has four strands twisted together (4-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 8 stitches per inch (8-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a moderate thickness and density, making it suitable for a wide range of projects. It can be used to create garments like sweaters, cardigans, and hats, as well as accessories like scarves and mittens.

The 8-gauge allows for a comfortable balance of warmth and breathability, and the 4-ply yarn provides durability and structure to the fabric. Since this gauge is not too fine or too bulky, it offers versatility in projects and allows for a good knitting speed.

7 Gauge / 6 Ply

7 gauge, 6 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

7-gauge/6-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has six strands twisted together (6-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 7 stitches per inch (7-gauge). Due to its thickness and warmth  is well-suited for creating cozy and cold-weather garments such as heavy sweaters, jackets, blankets, and scarves.

The 7-gauge creates larger stitches and a more open texture, resulting in a fabric that drapes well and is suitable for layering. The 6-ply yarn adds strength and structure, making the finished knitted items more resilient and long-lasting.

4 Gauge / 10 Ply

4 gauge, 10 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

4-gauge/10-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has ten strands twisted together (10-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 4 stitches per inch (4-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a substantial thickness and density, making it ideal for projects that require extra warmth and durability.

The 4-gauge creates larger stitches and a more open texture, resulting in a fabric that drapes well and is suitable for layering. The 10-ply yarn adds significant thickness and warmth, making the finished knitted items perfect for cold-weather garments.

Ochre Knitwear Cashmere Mix Wool

Cashmere mix fabric is made by blending cashmere and lambs wool together. In this particular blend, the fabric is composed of 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool.

100% Cashmere:

Cashmere is a luxurious, fine, and soft fiber that is obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats. It is known for its exceptional warmth and softness, making it a popular choice for clothing and accessories.

100% Lambs Wool:

Lambs wool, on the other hand, is a softer and finer type of wool that comes from the first shearing of a lamb. It is lightweight, warm, and insulating, making it a great material for clothing, especially in cold weather.

Mixture:

When cashmere and lambs wool are blended together, the resulting fabric combines the best qualities of both fibers. The cashmere provides softness and warmth, while the lambs wool provides durability and insulation. The resulting fabric is lighter and softer than pure lambs wool, but more durable and insulating than pure cashmere.

Overall, a cashmere mix fabric containing 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool is a versatile and high-quality material that offers a balance of comfort, warmth, and durability.

Why This Rolled Turtleneck Jumper Feels So Easy

  • Loose ribbed turtleneck gives warmth without feeling tight at the neck
  • Rolled edges create a softer, more relaxed finish than heavy rib trims
  • Raglan sleeves give the shoulders a smooth, natural line
  • Side splits help the hem sit easily over trousers, denim or layered tops
  • Clean front panel keeps the jumper simple and versatile
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend offers softness, warmth and durability
  • One-size shape gives a comfortable, gently generous fit
  • A refined alternative to a bulky winter sweater

Shore is built around softness of line. The loose turtleneck rises from the body in a gentle rib, then finishes with a rolled edge that keeps the neckline relaxed rather than formal.

The raglan sleeve construction is visible through the shoulder line, giving the jumper a smoother fit across the upper body. The sleeves are full length with rolled cuffs, creating a soft finish at the wrist instead of a tight ribbed cuff.

The side splits are an important part of the silhouette. They allow the hem to open slightly at the sides, so the jumper falls more easily over waistbands and layers. From the profile view, this gives Shore a relaxed shape with just enough movement to stop it looking boxy.

Shore is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the jumper its soft touch and gentle luxury, while the lambswool brings warmth, resilience and natural structure.

The fabric has a cosy handle but does not look heavy or stiff. It holds the relaxed shape well, with enough drape to feel comfortable and enough substance to keep the turtleneck, sleeves and hem sitting neatly.

This cashmere lambswool jumper is made for regular wear: warm enough for cooler days, breathable enough for indoor comfort, and simple enough to style without effort.

A relaxed turtleneck jumper is useful when you want warmth around the neck but do not want a tight polo-neck feeling. Shore offers that balance with a looser ribbed collar and soft rolled edge.

The shape is generous but not careless. Raglan sleeves give ease through the shoulders, while the side split jumper detail lets the hem move naturally when seated, walking or layering over other pieces.

It is a strong choice for anyone who likes simple knitwear with small design details that improve the way the garment feels on the body.

Shore is for women who enjoy soft, practical knitwear with a quiet luxury feeling. It suits relaxed wardrobes, natural-fibre dressing and days when comfort matters but the outfit still needs to look considered.

Wear it with jeans for an easy off-duty look, with slim trousers to balance the side splits, or with a long skirt when you want the rolled turtleneck to feel softer and more feminine.

It is especially useful for travel, cooler mornings, coastal walks, working from home and simple layered dressing through the colder months.

To keep your Shore rolled turtleneck jumper soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Turn the jumper inside out before washing
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the turtleneck, raglan sleeves and side splits while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder line and collar shape

What makes Shore a rolled turtleneck jumper?

Shore has a loose ribbed turtleneck finished with a soft rolled edge. This gives warmth around the neck while keeping the look relaxed and easy rather than tight or structured.

Is the neck fitted?

No. The neckline is designed to sit loosely. It gives cosy coverage but does not feel like a close polo neck.

What are raglan sleeves?

Raglan sleeves run from the neckline area towards the underarm, creating a softer shoulder line. On Shore, this helps the jumper feel relaxed and comfortable across the upper body.

Why does the jumper have side splits?

The side splits help the hem move more freely. They make the jumper easier to layer and allow it to sit better over trousers, denim or longer tops.

Is Shore a relaxed turtleneck jumper?

Yes. Shore has a one-size relaxed shape with a gently generous body, full sleeves and an easy neckline.

Does the rolled edge hem curl by design?

Yes. The rolled cuffs, collar and hem are intentional design details. They give the jumper a softer, more casual finish than a heavy ribbed trim.

Can I wear this jumper under a coat?

Yes. The shape layers well under relaxed coats and jackets, especially because the rolled neck is warm without being bulky.

Is this a warm jumper?

Yes. The blend of cashmere and lambswool gives natural warmth, while the relaxed shape keeps it breathable and comfortable.

What makes Shore different from a basic crew neck jumper?

The loose turtleneck, raglan sleeve shaping, rolled edges and side splits give Shore more texture and movement than a simple crew neck.

How should I dry this jumper?

Dry it flat after gently reshaping the collar, sleeves and side splits. Avoid hanging it while damp, as this can stretch the shoulders and neckline.

Can Shore work for smart casual dressing?

Yes. It has a relaxed mood, but the clean knit surface and soft turtleneck make it easy to pair with tailored trousers, simple boots or a structured coat.

How should I store a cashmere blend turtleneck?

Store it folded in a drawer or on a shelf. This protects the collar and shoulder shape better than hanging.

Why These Ribbed Socks Earn Their Place

  • Made from a soft 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend
  • Vertical rib texture gives stretch, structure and comfort
  • Designed as everyday socks with a refined knitted finish
  • One size shape comfortably fits UK size 4 to 8
  • Ankle length works well with boots, trainers and slippers
  • Rounded toe and shaped heel support a familiar, easy fit
  • Warm enough for chilly days without feeling heavy or bulky
  • A useful luxury knit accessory for home, travel and gifting

The rib structure is central to the comfort of these socks. It gives the knit a natural elasticity, so the fabric can move with the foot and settle smoothly around the ankle without feeling stiff.

The vertical lines also add a clean, understated texture. They make the socks feel more finished than a plain knit, while keeping the design simple enough for daily wear.

The cashmere and lambswool blend gives these ribbed socks their balance of softness, warmth and resilience. Cashmere adds a smoother touch against the skin, while lambswool brings body, insulation and a naturally breathable feel.

The result is a warm knitted sock that feels cosy but not excessive. They are easy to wear indoors, comfortable inside footwear and practical for the kind of days when feet need an extra layer without extra weight.

Wear them with boots when you want a soft ribbed layer at the ankle, with trainers for casual everyday dressing, or with slippers when the house feels cool. Their ankle length keeps them versatile and easy to style across seasons.

They are also ideal for travel. Compact, warm and soft, they can be packed into a weekend bag or kept close for long journeys, cool evenings away from home or a change into something more comfortable after a busy day.

A good pair of socks is a small thing, but it can change the feeling of a morning. These knitted socks are practical enough to be worn often and soft enough to feel like a treat every time they are pulled on.

The one-size fit makes them simple to give, while the ribbed texture keeps the design classic and easy to love. They are a thoughtful choice for anyone who enjoys natural fibres, warm feet and quiet everyday comfort.

To care for your ribbed socks, hand wash gently in cool water with a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting or wringing, as this can stretch the knit and disturb the rib texture.

Press out excess water in a towel, reshape carefully and dry flat away from direct heat. Store folded rather than pulled or stretched, and refresh lightly with a cashmere comb if small bobbles appear through wear.

What are these socks made from?

They are knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, giving a soft, warm and breathable feel.

What size are the socks?

They are one size and comfortably fit UK size 4 to 8 thanks to the natural stretch of the rib knit.

Are these socks suitable for daily wear?

Yes. They are designed as soft everyday socks for boots, trainers, slippers and relaxed home wear.

Do the ribbed socks feel bulky?

No. The knit feels warm and cosy, but the ankle length and ribbed structure keep the shape easy to wear inside footwear.

Why choose a ribbed sock?

Ribbing gives gentle stretch, helps the sock sit comfortably and adds a clean textured finish without making the design too busy.

How should I wash them?

Hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent, reshape gently and dry flat away from direct heat.

Why This Knitted Dress Has Such Quiet Drama

  • Barrel shape gives the dress an easy sculptural outline
  • Mid-calf length creates a graceful, wearable dress silhouette
  • Boat-shaped rib neckline softens the upper body without feeling too open
  • Three-quarter sleeves keep the garment practical and elegant
  • Two side pockets add everyday function without disturbing the clean front
  • Four fine vertical stripes at the back create a subtle graphic surprise
  • Rolled hem and round back vent help the dress move naturally
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend gives warmth, softness and breathable comfort

Dressy is shaped like a soft knitted column with gentle volume through the body. The barrel shape gives it a rounded, modern outline rather than a close fit, making the dress comfortable while still looking intentionally designed.

The neckline is wide and softly structured, with a 6cm rib detail that gives the top edge a little definition. The three-quarter sleeves keep the dress feeling lighter than a full winter style, while the rolled hem avoids a heavy finish at the bottom.

The back is where the design becomes especially memorable. Four fine vertical contrast stripes run down the centre back, creating a long line that draws the eye and adds movement to the mid-calf length. The round shaped vent at the back helps the dress fall and move with ease.

Dressy is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere brings softness and a refined hand feel, while the lambswool adds natural warmth, structure and resilience.

This cashmere lambswool dress feels cosy without looking heavy. The knit has enough body to support the barrel shape, but the drape remains soft and wearable, so the garment feels relaxed rather than stiff.

The result is a luxury knitwear dress that can be worn across seasons with boots, simple flats, a long coat or a fine layer underneath when extra warmth is needed.

A knitted dress is a clever wardrobe piece because it gives the softness of knitwear with the ease of a complete outfit. Dressy does not need complicated styling; its shape, neckline, pockets and back stripe detail already give it personality.

The barrel silhouette makes it different from a straight sweater dress. It has more volume, more movement and a more artistic feel, while the mid-calf length keeps the look elegant.

For anyone who enjoys cashmere knitwear but wants something more expressive than a jumper, this boat neck knitted dress offers warmth, comfort and a strong design point of view.

Dressy is for women who like relaxed clothes with presence. It suits those who want a dress that feels easy on the body but still looks finished enough for lunch, travel, gallery days, relaxed workwear or quiet evenings out.

The one-size shape is generous without feeling careless, making it useful for layering and comfortable for long wear. The side pockets make it practical, while the back stripe detail keeps it far from ordinary.

This is a knitted dress for someone who prefers understated drama: simple from the front, distinctive from behind and soft all the way through.

To keep your Dressy knitted dress soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the back stripe detail
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, sleeves, pockets, vent and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally, away from strong direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging for long periods to protect the dress length and shoulder shape

What makes Dressy a knitted dress?

Dressy is a mid-calf knitted dress made from a cashmere and lambswool blend. It has a boat-shaped neckline, three-quarter sleeves, side pockets, a rolled hem and a soft barrel silhouette.

How does the barrel shape fit?

The barrel shape gives the dress gentle volume through the body rather than a straight or fitted outline. It is designed to feel comfortable, relaxed and sculptural.

Is this dress fitted at the waist?

No. Dressy is not a waist-fitted dress. The shape is loose and fluid, giving it an easy modern feel and making it comfortable for layering.

What is special about the back of the dress?

The back has four fine vertical contrast stripes and a round shaped vent. These details add movement, length and a distinctive finish when viewed from behind.

Does the knitted dress have pockets?

Yes. Dressy has two side pockets, adding practical detail while keeping the front of the dress clean and minimal.

What neckline does Dressy have?

Dressy has a boat-shaped neckline with a 6cm rib detail. It gives the dress a soft, classic top line without feeling too open.

Are the sleeves full length?

No. The sleeves are three-quarter length, which helps the dress feel lighter and easier to wear across different seasons.

Is this a warm dress?

Yes. The blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool gives natural warmth, while the breathable knit helps the dress remain comfortable indoors.

How can I style a cashmere knitted dress?

Wear it with boots and a long coat for a clean winter look, with simple flats for relaxed days, or layered over a fine long-sleeve top when extra warmth is needed.

Is the mid-calf length easy to wear?

Yes. The mid-calf length gives coverage and elegance while the round back vent helps the dress move more easily.

How should I care for the rolled hem?

After washing, gently reshape the rolled hem while damp and dry the dress flat. Avoid hanging it wet, as this can stretch the length.

What makes this different from a jumper dress?

Dressy has a more considered dress shape, with mid-calf length, side pockets, back stripes and a round shaped vent. It feels like a complete garment rather than an oversized jumper.

Mac Cable Jumper – Collared Knit with Soft Cable Texture

The Mac cable jumper brings a more tailored mood to soft knitwear. A neat knitted collar opens into a clean V shape, giving the piece the feeling of a relaxed polo without the formality of a shirt. Across the body and sleeves, the cable texture adds depth and movement while keeping the overall look calm, wearable and refined.

This is a jumper for days when a plain knit feels too simple, but a bold statement piece feels too much. The slightly cropped body, long sleeves and ribbed hem give Mac a balanced shape that sits beautifully with trousers, skirts or denim.

Why This Cable Jumper Has Quiet Impact

  • The collar gives this cable jumper a sharper, more dressed-up neckline
  • Vertical cable lines add texture without making the knit feel heavy or busy
  • The open neck creates an easy frame for jewellery, scarves or a fine base layer
  • A shorter ribbed hem keeps the shape modern and easy to style
  • Long sleeves and a soft shoulder line make the piece comfortable for everyday wear
  • The cable pattern continues onto the sleeves for a complete, considered finish

Mac has a softly structured shape: relaxed through the body, neat at the hem and gently open at the neck. The collar is the first detail you notice. It sits flat and clean, then opens into a simple V that gives the jumper a lighter, more polished character than a classic crew neck.

The cable work is vertical and evenly spaced, creating subtle rhythm across the knit. From the front view, the texture lengthens the body and adds interest; from the side, the dropped shoulder and long sleeve give the piece its easy, lived-in comfort. The ribbed hem anchors the jumper without pulling it tight.

The appeal of Mac is in the contrast between softness and definition. The cable pattern gives the surface a sculpted feel, while the knit itself remains gentle and wearable against the body.

The handle appears smooth, warm and naturally textured, making this a strong choice for women who like knitwear with visible craft. The ribbed cuffs and hem add stability, while the collar gives the cable knit jumper a more elevated finish.

A cable jumper is a classic, but Mac gives it a more modern point of view. Instead of a heavy heritage shape, it uses a cleaner collar, open neckline and shorter proportion to make the texture feel fresh.

It works when you want knitwear that feels considered without needing extra styling. The cable detail brings richness, the collar adds shape, and the relaxed fit keeps the whole piece easy rather than formal.

Mac is for women who enjoy texture, but prefer knitwear that still feels understated. It suits wardrobes built around simple layers, natural fibres, soft tailoring and pieces that can move between casual and more polished dressing.

Wear it with wide-leg trousers for a clean silhouette, with denim for an everyday look, or layered over a fine camisole when you want the open collar to sit softly at the neckline.

To help your Mac cable jumper keep its shape and texture, treat it gently between wears:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a specialist wool or cashmere detergent
  • Turn the jumper inside out before washing
  • Do not wring or twist the cable knit surface
  • Press out excess water carefully in a towel
  • Reshape while damp and dry flat
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulders
  • Use a cashmere comb lightly if natural pilling appears

What makes Mac a cable jumper?

Mac has raised vertical cable texture across the body and sleeves, giving the knit a more detailed surface than a plain jumper while still keeping the overall shape clean.

Is this cable jumper smart enough for everyday dressing?

Yes. The knitted collar and open neckline give Mac a polished feel, while the relaxed body keeps it comfortable enough for daily wear.

Does the collar feel like a shirt collar?

The collar has a shirt-inspired look, but it is knitted and soft, so it feels much more relaxed than a woven collar.

How does the shape fit?

From the images, Mac appears softly boxy with a slightly cropped length, long sleeves and a ribbed hem that sits neatly without looking tight.

Can I layer this collared cable jumper?

Yes. The open neckline works well over a light vest, camisole or fine base layer, especially if you want extra warmth without covering the collar detail.

How should I care for the cable texture?

Wash gently by hand or dry clean, reshape flat while damp and avoid hanging, as this helps protect the cable pattern, shoulders and ribbed hem.
