Stone Island 5100047 Lambswool Button Cardigan Sand

A cardigan in sand with a high stand collar and a button front. Horn-look buttons add warmth to the colour. Buttoned up, the collar protects the neck like a light jacket; open, it is a relaxed layer for indoors. The Compass badge on the left sleeve, the brand's emblem, is attached with two buttons.

The yarn is lambswool: 80% virgin wool and 20% polyamide. Lambswool comes from a lamb's first shearing, so it is softer and finer than ordinary wool. Polyamide is a strong nylon fibre that makes the yarn more durable. Ribbed trims stretch and spring back, so they keep their shape.

The fit is regular; take your usual size. There is room for a shirt or T-shirt underneath. The same model also comes in navy blue. Sand is a light, warm beige that pairs well with navy, white and olive.
