Description

The Youri Zip Cardigan is a variation of the Youri model, the first design developed by Nitto Knitwear, using the same extra-fine merino wool and piqué knit. Its clean design focuses on the quality of the knit and the attention given to every detail, in a construction designed to last.

The cardigan is made from 100% extra-fine merino wool, with a fiber diameter of 19.5 microns. Particularly soft to the touch, this wool benefits from the natural properties of merino wool, including good breathability and the ability to naturally regulate temperature. It is combined with a dense 14-gauge piqué knit, giving the cardigan a regular structure, excellent shape retention and a comfortable feel when worn.

The zip closure is fitted with a YKK Excella zipper, selected for its quality construction and reliability. The cuffs and hem are finished with 2 x 2 ribbing to structure the edges while maintaining the comfort of the knit.

The Charcoal color underlines the understated character of the model and highlights the distinctive texture of the piqué knit.

Fit

The Youri Zip Cardigan retains the straight fit of the Youri sweater, providing a natural and comfortable drape. It is slightly longer and more generous than a classic cardigan, allowing it to move naturally with the body while maintaining a balanced silhouette. We recommend choosing your usual size or, for additional room, going one size up.

Why we selected it

We selected the Youri Zip Cardigan for its combination of particularly soft extra-fine merino wool and dense piqué knit, providing excellent shape retention and a durable construction. Its YKK Excella zipper and 2 x 2 ribbed finishes complete a simple and carefully considered construction. Made in Clamart, its slightly generous volume also makes it a versatile piece, easy to wear on its own or as a mid-layer.
