I’ve been refreshing my wardrobe lately, and since I already own several Arach&Cloz wool‑blend tank tops, I was curious to try one of their sweaters. I didn’t realize until after this cardigan arrived that it’s made of cotton rather than the brand’s usual wool blends. I even put it on and thought, “This feels more like cotton or acrylic,” and sure enough, it’s 100% cotton. If you regularly shop Arach&Cloz and expect their typical wool‑blend feel, keep in mind that this particular cardigan is all cotton, but that is not a bad thing. This is a nice cardigan.I wore this button‑up cardigan to work today and really enjoyed it. The weather was warm and humid outside, but I spent a lot of time in chilly conference rooms, and this sweater kept me comfortable in both environments. It’s very breathable and doesn’t trap heat, but it also doesn’t leave you feeling chilled. The fabric is soft worn directly against the skin, and the cotton knit has a nice airflow that made it easy to wear all day.The brown and white zig‑zag striping is bright, clean, and visually striking. The construction feels solid, the stitching is neat, and the buttons feel sturdy and easy to fasten. This cardigan is shorter than what I usually wear. It’s not cropped, but it hits right at the top of my mid‑rise jeans. I paired it with a brown satin camisole, dark blue jeans, gold jewelry, and gold‑and‑white loafers, and my husband (who rarely comments on my clothes when I'm heading out the door for work) commented on how nicely the outfit came together. The overall look leans casual, but it was still perfectly appropriate for my business‑casual meetings today. The sweater stayed structured throughout the day without looking slouchy, and the sleeves are a good length.The cardigan moves with me and isn’t restrictive at all. The neckline sits comfortably and doesn’t shift around. I haven’t washed it yet, so I can’t speak to how the cotton holds up in the wash or whether the colors bleed. The knit didn’t snag easily while I was wearing it, and the pattern is woven through rather than printed on, giving it a higher‑quality feel. The mahogany color is rich and flattering. It also feels like a piece that will hold its shape with wear rather than stretching out or sagging.For sizing reference, I’m around 240ish pounds, 5'9", with a 45‑inch bust and a 42‑inch belly. I carry most of my weight in my belly and hips. I typically wear a size 20 in tops (sometimes 18 and sometimes 22), and the XXL fit exactly as I hoped. It wasn’t itchy at all, and the fabric has enough stretch that you can push the sleeves up if you want to, though I avoided doing it too much because I don’t want to stretch out the arm openings. My only wish is that it were about an inch longer in both the front and back. Since I’m tall and wearing mid‑rise jeans, I found myself occasionally checking to make sure everything stayed covered when I bent over.This cardigan worked perfectly for my business‑casual day. It layers well, isn’t bulky, is very breathable, and isn’t see‑through. After wearing it once, I can already see it becoming part of my regular rotation. It’s simple, comfortable, and well‑made. I’m very happy with it and can easily recommend it.
