J Crew Factory: Cable Knit Sweater

Just a quick little Factory review for you today.

~ Cable Knit Sweater, Medium, Red Currant ~

I was looking for a nice cozy sweater for Winter and I was very successful last year in finding a Cable Knit Sweater in the Men’s section in Navy. It showed up early in Fall and I wore it quite a bit in Winter. I found one this season in the Women’s section in this lovely Red Currant color (also in Ivory). This color will go well all I have planned for Fall, especially all the Navy I have. It’s super soft due to the viscose/nylon/merino wool blend material.

I should have bought the Large because as soon as I felt the material I KNEW I was going to shrink it. The tag says Hand Wash so we’ll see how I do before I get lazy and throw it in the machine on the Delicate/Hand Wash setting. For now, though, the Medium is a good fit and great for layering, shown here with the Classic Silk Blouse in Tick Tock. I could have sized to a Small for a more fitted look but I wanted cozy and a little over-sized. 
There was only one sweater in the Men’s section that looked interesting – Cotton Contrast-Trim Cardigan. It’s cotton and looks like a Women’s Cardigan from 2009/2010?? just a different material. Anyone recall the name?  
Have a Great Day!

    That cranberry is a good color. The cardi looks like a Gap or ON sweater that I never wore. As far as J Crew, maybe you're thinking of this colorblock cardi.
