Description

The exclusive Dehen 1920 x Division Road Barrister Cardigan in Charcoal 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 correspond to the three-end knit weight specification, along with adaptations to the collar and button configuration, and we revamped the sleeves for a tailored fit to allow 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, having been co-opted by both athletic brands and fashion designers for decades. The Barrister points to the legal challenges and irony surrounding the 4-Bar Varsity stripe. Our custom iteration replicates a relevant modern style with the original heritage producer in a cleanly configured Charcoal with Off White 4-Bar stripes, a dark charcoal corozo button front, and welted pockets to create 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 spring, fall, or winter.
