Description

The exclusive Dehen 1920 x Division Road Barrister Cardigan in Brown and Vintage White is made from a three-end, medium-weight, worsted wool knit entirely in-house on vintage machines used since the 1950s, representing enduring quality and style at their absolute best. As a result of collaboration and hard work, we produced what we believe to be the perfect flat-collar layering cardigan based on Dehen's Varsity style. We revised the entire pattern and cut to match the three-end knit weight specification, made adaptations to the collar and button configuration, and revamped the sleeves for a tailored fit that allows for easy layering and three-season versatility in a piece that will outlast most of your wardrobe. Dehen has maintained its "Heavy Duty Old School Truth" approach to sportswear, which has been influential for nearly a century and has been co-opted by both athletic brands and fashion designers. The Barrister points to the legal challenges and irony surrounding the 4-Bar Varsity stripe. Our custom iteration replicates a refreshed ivy style from the original heritage producer, with a Brown body balanced with Vintage White for the 4-Bar stripes and placket, a natural brown corozo 5-button front, and welted pockets, creating a current sweater that will impress those seeking authentic American workmanship in a refined style. This design-centric new vintage cardigan provides quality, cosmopolitan style when paired over a button-down or long-sleeved tee, while functioning equally well under a jacket or vest for fall, winter, or spring.
