Brooks Brothers Women’s Washable Merino Cardigan Sweater

A cardigan sweater that's machine washable and made from Merino wool sounds like a contradiction, and normally it would be. The Brooks Brothers Women's Washable Merino Cardigan Sweater is 100 percent extra-fine Merino wool that's been treated to survive the washing machine without shrinking into something that fits a toddler. The fully fashioned construction means the pieces are knit to shape rather than cut from a fabric sheet, which produces cleaner seams and a better fit that doesn't pull or sag in the wrong places. The 1x1 rib at the jewel neck, cuffs, and hem provides structure without stiffness, and the dyed-to-match imitation pearl buttons add a touch of elegance that real pearls couldn't improve upon given they'd be a laundry disaster.

One hundred six twenty. Less than the dry cleaning bill for a comparable non-washable sweater over its lifetime, and this one you just throw in the machine. The back shoulder seaming creates a clean line across the back that makes this cardigan look like it cost what it costs. It's the kind of sweater that goes over a shell for the office, over a tee for the weekend, and over a dress for those occasions when a cardigan is the answer. Machine washable Merino. Say that out loud. It still sounds like a contradiction even after you buy it.
