Product Insights

The Cable-Knit Cardigan by Le 31 is a medium-weight knit that provides warmth without bulk, suitable for layering under a coat or standalone. Its 100% recycled cotton with a nubbly texture resists pilling, while the ribbed knit and twisted cables create memory that resists bagging and distortion. The textured cable-knit surface conceals light pilling, keeping the front panel near-new. It is machine washable on gentle cycle with cold water to maintain shape. The core promise is shape retention and pilling concealment with easy care; the main tradeoff is the need for gentle washing to preserve the shape.

Deep Research

Cable-knit shape retention and care

  • The cable pattern uses twisted yarns, which have a higher twist-per-inch than singles, locking fibers together to resist pilling and preserve the cable's raised, sculptural relief — so after dozens of wears the front panels still look dimensionally knit rather than matted down.
  • The continuous ribbed texture functions like a series of micro-springs that stretch and recover, giving the entire garment a memory that prevents the sleeves and body from bagging out at the elbows and back — a known weakness of flat-knit cotton cardigans.
  • The heavily textured, cable-rich face of the knit obscures the light pilling that cotton inevitably develops, extending the garment's near-new appearance longer than a smooth knit, while the recycled fiber's slightly nubbly texture actually enhances the hand feel of a traditional fisherman's sweater.
  • The ribbed bands are knit with a structure that tightly retracts after being stretched, so daily actions like pushing up sleeves or sitting while buttoned won’t permanently distort the edging — a detail that keeps the cardigan looking tailored through seasons of wear.

perfect color

Yung L.

I have been searching for a pale yellow cardigan for ages and this was the perfect color and size. Material is soft. I did not purchase this on sale and I thought it was worth the price.

100% coton cardigan

lyne d.

I just love this cardi, the color is perfect , since all my wardrobe is neutral color . I'm a women and I find that your store ,wich I only shop at, have more selection in natural fiber like cotton and wool in the man section. plus it look so much like a Ralh Lauren ( my favorite bran) that I saw on there site . And by the way they don't ship in quebec ? Good think your store have some of there clothes .
