Description

The Navy Wool Knit Brando Cardigan Jacket by Fortela is inspired by home-made knitwear from the 1930s and casual jackets from the 1950s, refashioned with Italian tailoring design details in a refined fit. This Cardigan Jacket is a medium-weight, cardigan-stitch knit crafted from tightly spun 100% Virgin Wool yarns for a durable, structured drape, and is subtly brushed for a luxurious finish. This garment is suited for any new-classic enthusiast, with improved aesthetics and detailing in an authentic up-production inspired by the timeless original, known for its uniform-dress functionality. Derived from Alessandro Squarzi's renowned archives, this piece features signature elements such as a notch lapel reminiscent of tailoring jackets, and a natural brown corozo button-front closure, providing an updated classic fit and layering versatility. Drawing inspiration from heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage styles, this classically designed cardigan features knit-in welt front pockets, ribbed knit hem and cuffs, and a hand-linked, fully fashioned interior. The Navy Wool Knit Brando Cardigan Jacket will become a style-forward heritage hallmark informed by tailoring and workwear with a modern fit, designed for the man who balances his current fashion with old-world provenance.
