"I feel obligated to call this a cardigan given the shape and the fact we're an online shop but if you're reading this copy, let me tell you this is just a jacket in a cardigan shape. The mixed green loden wool and the unique canvas type wool give not only a strong visual contrast but the green loden adds a smooth, almost lustrous effect to the body while the canvas-type weave provides a bit of texture and a snowy look with the white flecking coming though, not unlike the nep for some types of denim. Regardless of if you wear it as a jacket or not it's still a versatile piece that can be layered under all the same."---Kenshawn
