It comes in Light Grey and Red across sizes X-Small to X-Large, with ribbed cuffs and hem and a hip-length cut. Note that the hood is shallow and single-layer, so it lies flat rather than adding substantial coverage.[1,2,3,4] | Soft Knit Zippered Hooded Cardigan: Choose this if you want a relaxed, hip-length knit layer with a built-in hood, a full-length exposed metal zipper, and ribbed cuffs and hem for everyday wear.
