The outer surface of the garment measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. The cardigan features a mock collar, long hemmed sleeves, a full front opening with a hidden zippered placket, and a hemmed bottom. The collar, the sleeve cuffs, and the placket are finished with narrow faux leather strip overlays. Two faux leather strips are sewn in the waist area simulating pockets.

Style number F03-2329 is a woman’s double-breasted cardigan that is constructed from 100% wool, brushed knit fabric.

The garment features a pointed collar; long hemmed sleeves; a full front opening with four functional buttons and four non-functional buttons; two slant inset pockets in the waist area; and a hemmed bottom. The sleeves, the pocket, and near the bottom of the garment are finished with narrow faux strips.
