Blame Moon. We requested them. They didn't send them with the cloth. Then we requested them to be sent separately. But then they sent the Shetland Wool Label. These are Merino Wool. By that time it was too late into production.

Haha that's why. Because I realized they always have those on their stuff from other brands like Jcrew or Club monaco.

Can anyone speak to the quality of the merino wool cardigans? I've been recently really digging the pics from @Burzan and @colHolm with their additional layering. Are they thin enough that they won't cause any significant fit issues, yet still warm enough to make a noticeable difference?
I'm really happy with the ones I picked up. A little tight on the moon gun check, but otherwise perfect for layering.

That's a relief. I've been really into the sleeveless cardigans that Drake's has been putting out but can't justify the cost for them at the moment. Trust S&M to deliver a value-driven alternative!

100% thin enough, yet warm. They feel really cozy, no itchiness. Ochre colour was a huge win by S&M in my opinion.

Only thing i'd change is have them be slightly longer, and for a richer burgundy colour next year. Especially on a shawl collar cardigan, if it happens.

Guys asking for Shawl collar cardigans, do you mind sharing pics of the styles you are looking for? We've already been thinking about this, but community feedback is always appreciated.

Main thing is a robust shawl collar for me and beefy buttons, don't care about texture as much.

I actually didn't pick any up. By the time I finally stopped procrastinating the green sold out, which was the one I really wanted.

The J Crew triple patch pocket cardigan is ideal in my eyes. I never got around to buying on but I would buy a couple if you made something similar, with a simple texture, no crazy cable knit. Only thing I'd change is have them be a bit longer, hitting around mid crotch for a bit of a slouchier look

This is mine from Nothern Watters on the other day. I'd like it to be either chunky or thin enough to wear under a blazer.

Only own one in a Burgundy as I prefer v-necks to cardigans. However it's definitely thin enough to not cause fit issues, but I notice a major difference when I wear it vs when I don't in terms of warmth. It's the perfect middle layer imo.

I found it just about impossible to find a thick shawl collar like the above for less than $300. If you can bring these In for a better bargain, I'll buy multiple in a heartbeat! They just look so good and comfortable!

This one's mine (the photo isn't though), it's an older JCrew version, very comfortable and warm, for what it's worth
