FAQs
What makes this cardigan unique?
The uniqueness comes from its artisanal craftsmanship, including stonewashed cotton denim elbow patches, contrasting used-effect cotton details, and slight natural imperfections inherent to the process, making each cardigan a one-of-a-kind piece.
Is the fit true to size?
The cardigan features a slightly oversized, loose fit. Refer to the model's measurements and the size guide for Maison Margiela to determine the best fit for your preferred silhouette.
Can I machine wash this cardigan?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash cold or dry clean only to preserve the integrity of the virgin wool and the unique detailing.
What is the material of the elbow patches?
The elbow patches are made from stonewashed cotton denim, providing a durable and visually contrasting element to the virgin wool fabric.
How should I care for the contrasting cotton detail?
The contrasting cotton detail, like the rest of the garment, should be handled with care. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for the entire garment.
What does 'stonewashed' mean in this context?
Stonewashing is a finishing process that uses stones to create a softer texture and a slightly faded, worn-in appearance on the fabric, contributing to the unique aesthetic of the garment and its details.
Is this cardigan suitable for women?
The description mentions a contemporary, unisex character, suggesting it can be worn by individuals of any gender seeking its specific style and fit.
Troubleshooting
Cardigan appears misshapen after washing
Ensure the garment was laid flat to dry and not hung. Gently reshape while damp and allow to dry completely flat. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for best results.
Wool fibers feel rough or pilled
This can be a natural characteristic of virgin wool, especially after stonewashing. Use a wool comb or fabric shaver gently on any small pills. Avoid excessive friction during wear.
Ink or stains on the fabric or patches
Address stains immediately. For delicate fabrics like this, professional dry cleaning is the safest option. Spot cleaning should be done with extreme caution using a minimal amount of water and mild detergent, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
