From the maker
The STRIPED SHAWL COLLAR CARDIGAN is made in Japan from a 3-gauge wool knit. The shawl collar cardigan was popular across campuses from the 1930s to the 1960s, serving both as cold-weather gear for workers and benchwear for athletes. Its stripes were not only decorative but often incorporated school and college colors. Favored by actors, sportsmen, and politicians, including Steve McQueen and John F. Kennedy, the shawl collar cardigan is synonymous with Ivy style and college campuses, joining khakis and madras fabrics in the Ivy League style pantheon.
The cardigan's origins trace back to Lord Cardigan, who led the Charge of the Light Brigade in the 1854 Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. His knit jacket with a fur shawl collar inspired a simplified version that became popular after his return to England.
The Real McCoy’s STRIPED SHAWL COLLAR CARDIGAN features a fully buttoned front, patch pockets, and contrast stripe detailing.
