Scottish Borders Cardigan
Ruggedly built for outdoor adventure but classic enough for evenings in town, this Shetland wool cardigan is an excellent choice for travel. Knit by a 135-year-old mill in Hawick, a town along the Teviot River in the southeastern Scottish Borders known for its knitwear. Along with angling in the local rivers, Hawick outdoor culture is marked by the annual Common Riding, where hundreds of riders on horseback celebrate a 16th-century victory over an English raiding party. This Shetland wool sweater is designed to withstand the brisk weather of the British Isles. Its natural water-resistance and moisture-wicking properties keep you warm and dry. Suede elbow patches and quilted suede on the chest help resist wear and tear from bags and camera straps. Suede trim on two front patch pockets.
Made in Scotland. Shetland wool with suede trim. Men’s sizes M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46-48), XXL (50-52).
Hand-wash.

Comments about Scottish Borders Cardigan:
Itially, I was disappointed that the elbow patches were too low, centered between my elbow & wrist. For a measly $15.00 a seamstriss simply removed the patches and repositioned them at my elbows. Why it took me so long to figure that out is beyound me. The sweater now looks perfect.

Comments about Scottish Borders Cardigan:
The sleaves are too long in relation to the body size. The sleave, sweade patches are suppose to protect the elbows. But the patches came between my elbow and my wrist with the Large size, which I returned. The medium size came with the same problem, the patches still came between my elbows and my wrist. Very disappointed that the sweater doesn't even come in small size
