Indigo Gigham Jacquard Cardigan
Indigo Gigham Jacquard Cardigan
A richly textured frill, brought to life by the density of the knit, gives this cardigan a presence of its own. Its shorter length and boxy silhouette make it an easy piece to balance with various styles.
The cotton yarn is treated with konjac starch for a crisp, linen-like texture. Made from a blend of Gima yarn—spun from Australian cotton to mimic the feel of hemp—and soft cotton threads, the result is a jacquard knit that offers both crispness and volume. This is a refined example of Japanese craftsmanship.
The indigo hue is deeper than blue, yet quieter than black. Inspired by traditional ichimatsu check, this mature gingham pattern is not woven, but knitted—a distinctive approach that speaks to the thoughtful spirit of 45R.
