Ribbed Boat Neck Sweater

Merino Wool Zipped Cardigan: Choose this if you want a minimalist, fine-gauge zip cardigan in a blue tone from Paul Smith's latest collection, made of responsibly sourced 100 percent merino wool that is machine-washable. It has a regular fit, a ribbed stand collar with a multicolor striped interior trim, gold metal zipper hardware, and ribbed cuffs and hem, in sizes Small through X-Large. Note that the fine knit may show slight translucence near the upper back under bright lighting.[1,2,3,4]Ribbed Boat Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a slim-fit, long-sleeve knit with an understated look, featuring a wide boat neckline that sits close to the collarbone, narrow vertical ribs, and ribbed edging throughout. The fine knit is an ultra comfortable 70% cotton and 30% linen blend with soft drape, and the retailer positions it as a spring essential, though it is lightweight and slightly sheer at the lower front, with underlying shapes faintly visible. It comes in Cream White with a small embroidered Paul Smith logo at the back of the neck and is made in Portugal; note the listing shows a size LARGE variant, and fit is observed on one model so it may vary by wearer.[5,6,7]
