Men's Plus Size Diamond Pattern Zip-Up Knit Cardigan | Gray / M 100400190689379

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and take measurements in inches or centimeters. For best results, measure over light clothing and stand relaxed. Below are steps for measuring both your body and the cardigan laid flat so you can compare against product dimensions or size charts.

Measure your body

1. Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest (under the arms and across the shoulder blades). Keep the tape level and parallel to the floor.
2. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (where you normally wear your pants).
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the center back of your neck, across the shoulder, and down to the wrist with your arm slightly bent — this helps approximate how long sleeves will feel.
5. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.

Measure the cardigan (product laid flat)

1. Chest (pit to pit): Lay the cardigan flat, zip it up and smooth wrinkles. Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other, then double that number to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure straight across from one shoulder seam to the other.
3. Sleeve length (garment): Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If you need total sleeve length from center back, measure from the center back at the base of the collar across the shoulder to the cuff.
4. Back length: Measure from the center back at the base of the collar straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem, then double that number to get circumference.

Tips: measure twice, keep the tape snug but not stretched, and allow 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of ease if you plan to layer thicker garments underneath. If you fall between sizes, choose the larger size for a relaxed fit.

Materials & features

This diamond-pattern zip-up cardigan is crafted from a soft, medium-weight knit designed for comfort, structure, and easy care. Exact fiber composition may vary by color and production run—always check the garment label for precise details. Typical characteristics include:

• Soft diamond jacquard knit for subtle texture and visual interest
• Acrylic/polyester-based blend (with occasional nylon or a small amount of spandex for stretch) for durability, shape retention, and easy care
• Full-zip front (metal or molded-tooth zipper) with a protective zip guard
• Ribbed cuffs and hem to help maintain fit and prevent stretching
• Medium weight—ideal for layering in cool weather

Note: If you have fiber sensitivities or require a specific material (cotton, wool, etc.), confirm the exact composition listed on the product tag before purchase.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Turn the cardigan inside out and zip it before washing to protect the knit and zipper.
• Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach or use harsh chemical stain removers that can weaken fibers or fade color.
• Use a laundry bag for extra protection and to reduce friction that causes pilling.
• Lay flat to dry on a clean towel or drying rack and reshape while damp. Avoid hanging heavy, wet knits as this can stretch the shoulders and distort the silhouette.
• If using a dryer, choose the lowest heat or air-dry setting and remove the garment promptly to minimize shrinkage and wear.
• Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or sweater comb—hold the knit flat and take light passes rather than scraping aggressively.
• Iron only if necessary on low heat with a cloth between the iron and fabric; avoid ironing directly over the zipper and ribbed trim.
• Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf to preserve shape; if hanging, use a wide, padded hanger. For long-term storage, keep in a breathable container and consider natural moth deterrents like cedar or lavender.
• For tough stains or professional finish, dry cleaning is an option—follow the garment label care instructions.

Style tips

Here are versatile ways to wear the diamond-pattern zip-up knit cardigan:

• Casual: Zip up over a plain crewneck tee and pair with jeans and sneakers for an everyday relaxed look.
• Smart-casual: Layer unzipped over a button-down shirt and chinos; add leather boots or loafers to elevate the outfit for office or dinner.
• Layered warmth: Wear over a lightweight hoodie or thermal top for extra insulation—zip it up to trap heat or unzip for ventilation.
• Color pairing: Let the texture be the focal point—pair neutrals (navy, gray, black, beige) for a classic look, or contrast with olive, burgundy, or mustard for seasonal interest.
• Fit tips: For a streamlined silhouette pick your usual size; if you prefer room to layer, go one size up. Keep sleeve length long enough to cover the wrist when zipped; push or cuff sleeves for a laid-back vibe.
• Accessories: Add a knit scarf, beanie, or a leather watch to complete the outfit without overpowering the textured pattern.
