Slow Showa Border Knit Cardigans

A zip-front knit cardigan with color-blocked stripes and a stand-up collar.

The Little Nice Parts

• Stand-up collar that frames the neck without folding
• Horizontal stripe panel placed across the body
• Front zipper that opens cleanly to mid-chest or lower
• Ribbed cuffs that sit securely at the wrist

Fabric

Knitted fabric with visible stitch grain, moderate thickness, stable structure, and steady shape retention.

Fit & Design

Loose cut through the body with dropped shoulders. Designed to layer over thin tops without pulling.

Use

Suitable for fall and winter days, short outings, or indoor wear with the zipper adjusted.

Care

Wash gently in cold water. Lay flat to dry to maintain collar shape and stripe alignment.

Bordered knit, stand-up collar, and a metal zipper — a familiar layer from a late Showa afternoon 🍂
