Shoulda kopped from me when you had the chance lol. Just buy the navy Ferragamo suede-knit shawl collar cardigan from FW10. Be sure to post receipt and ball all over sq lol

Didn't even know you had it.

I think I've only seen that Ferragamo in grey, they have it in navy? Not looking for shawl collar though, maybe after I find a regular navy cardigan I might consider a shawl collar in a different color.

They get no love here and I understand why, but if you are looking for a basic solid slim cardigan you can not do better than Smedley for quality and fit. Alot of their knitwear is heinous but the basic merino knits are unimpeachable. I usually buy from their direct site but I am pretty certain South Willard and a few other places sell it here in the U.S.

I would say if there's a brand that doesn't get enough love around here it's Margaret Howell.

Are they pretty slim? I usually wear a 36 and their smallest is 38. I mean am not looking for skin tight but I want something that isn't too loose either.

Margaret Howell is pretty hard to come by though, most of the stockists only sell MHL (ok, there's a webstore...)

These Margielas would been fine for what I am looking for if it were navy.

The pit for pit on a small is 19". I wear a medium which is 20.5" on a measured chest of 39". It fits very similar to the fit model's picture. You could probably email Smedley or another stockist to enquire about this season's measurements but from what I have heard they have not changed.

It's a basic cardigan, I don't really need much other than the fit and quality being on point and it being navy.

jet · Sep 2, 2010

It looks like hm dawg.

Smedley is going to be too big for you unless they had xs.

Lanvin cardigans are so luxe. I have two in storage that I'll post once I depack them.

They are hardly "interesting" though compared to some other brands.
