Men's Plus Size Button Up Long Sleeve Cardigan — Product Details

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. Take measurements over light clothing and stand relaxed with arms at your sides. For best fit, compare your body measurements to a cardigan you already own (see "Measure a garment" below).

Measure your body

• Chest / Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your armpits and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape level. Record the circumference (in inches and cm).
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest point of your natural waistline. Keep tape relaxed and level.
• Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other (where a shoulder seam would sit).
• Sleeve length: With arm relaxed slightly bent, measure from the shoulder tip (where the seam would be) down to the wrist bone.
• Back length / Garment length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (near the base of the neck) straight down to where you want the cardigan to end (typically mid-hip for this style).

Measure a cardigan (garment laid flat)

• Chest (laid flat): Lay the cardigan flat, smooth it without stretching. Measure across the chest 1" (2–3 cm) below the armholes, then double that number for the full circumference.
• Shoulder to shoulder: Measure across the back from seam to seam at the shoulder.
• Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Body length: From the high point of the shoulder to the hem.

Fit tip: For layered looks allow an extra 2–6 inches (5–15 cm) of chest ease depending on how bulky your base layers will be: 2–3" (5–8 cm) for light layers, 4–6" (10–15 cm) for heavier sweaters.

Materials & construction

If exact fiber content is required, check the garment tag. Common fabrications for this style and what they mean:

Cotton blend (e.g., 60% cotton / 40% polyester)

Soft, breathable, and comfortable; easy care and machine-washable. Polyester adds durability and reduces shrinkage.

Acrylic / synthetic knit (e.g., 100% acrylic or acrylic blends)

Lightweight, warm and colorfast. Resists wrinkling and often easier to machine wash, but may pill over time.

Wool or wool blend (e.g., 30% wool / 70% acrylic)

Warm, insulating and naturally odor-resistant. May require gentler care (hand wash or dry clean) and is prone to felting if agitated in hot water.

Elastane / Spandex (small %)

Adds stretch and recovery for a more comfortable fit—helpful for button-up styles that need to move with the body.

Buttons may be plastic, resin, or wood-look; seams are usually overlocked or flat-stitched for comfort. If you need the exact fiber percentages for compliance or allergy reasons, consult the product tag or packaging.

Model information (reference)

The model shown is 6'0" (183 cm) with a 46" (117 cm) chest and is wearing size 3XL for a relaxed, layered fit. Use the measurement guidance above to select your best size—size up for extra layering or a looser silhouette.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Follow the care label first. If label is missing, use these general steps based on fabric type.
• Machine-washable knits: Turn inside out, button up, wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors using mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
• Wool or delicate blends: Hand wash in cool water with wool-safe detergent or use a gentle/wool cycle. Do not wring—press out water gently.
• Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean towel, reshape while damp. Avoid hanging heavy knits—hanging stretches shoulders and changes fit.
• Avoid high heat. Tumble dry on low only if label allows and remove promptly to reduce distortions.
• Ironing / steaming: Use low heat and a pressing cloth if needed, or steam lightly to remove wrinkles.
• Pilling: Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or sweater comb. Do this sparingly to keep the yarn surface even.
• Storage: Fold and store in a cool, dry place. Use cedar or lavender sachets to deter moths. Avoid plastic bags for long-term storage.
• Spot care: Treat stains promptly—dab gently with a mild detergent solution and rinse. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Style tips

• Casual: Wear open over a fitted crewneck tee, straight or slim jeans and sneakers for an easy weekend look.
• Smart-casual / Office: Button the cardigan over a collared shirt and pair with chinos and loafers. Keep the silhouette tidy by choosing a slimmer shirt underneath.
• Layering: For colder days, layer a lightweight sweater or thermal under the cardigan. Choose a cardigan with a bit of stretch to prevent pulling at the buttons.
• Proportion for plus-size styling: Aim for balance—if the cardigan is long, pair with straight or tapered pants rather than wide-leg bottoms to maintain clean lines. An open V-shape (when unbuttoned) visually elongates the torso.
• Color & texture: Use the cardigan as a neutral anchor—add a patterned shirt or textured scarf for interest. Darker colors create a slimming effect; lighter shades brighten and add contrast.
• Accessories: A leather belt, watch, or clean sneakers/boots instantly elevates the look. Keep accessories proportionate—avoid tiny, fiddly belts with heavier fabrics.
• Care-forward styling: If you plan to layer heavily, size up a step to avoid stress on seams and buttons.
