Garment Sizing

Measurements are taken across the front of the garment while laid flat. Double to find total circumference of garment and if in doubt measure a garment you own that fits well and compare. If you’ve never measured a garment or yourself before, we have a guide under “Whats my size?” above.

The original and the best! Clementine is the OG of Made590 cardigans being the style we run year after year. In this version we have added length to make her a more long line, grandpa style cardigan. We even added POCKETS! If you’re looking for the perfect 100% merino winter cardigan that is a snuggly and fun, look no further.

This 100% mercerised merino wool cardigan is knitted locally by our very special knitter who we have worked with for over 10 years! Knitting locally is something we are passionate about and also allows us to pick and choose our own colours! The mercerisation of the merino cleverly means there will be minimal pilling and that the fibres will last longer and not get fuzzy after a few wears. We have also picked some of our favourite fabrics for the covered buttons, with each cardigan having a perfect match chosen for it. And of course, we get all the buttons made locally in Sydney too!

FEATURES:

100% mercerised Merino wool
Hand picked and dyed wool colours exclusive to made590
Longer length hits at the low hip
Two cute decorative pockets, one on each hip
Versatile longer length great paired with jeans or tucked up with high waisted skirts and dresses, this version is approximately 10cm longer than our regular Clementine
Ribbed waistband is designed to pull the bottom in slightly to hug you
Textured knit which gives this cardigan a lovely warm look without too much bulk
Tortoise Shell plastic buttons with wavy edge
Turn under front bind (this is a new style of finish we are so happy with!) which is streamline at the front so the knit pattern goes to the edge and is reinforced at the back with merino knit binding
Please note M and L have a narrower band of rib at the bottom of the garment, this is not a fault, just a little surprise Bill decided to add in. It will not effect the wearing of the cardigan or it's length, only it's aesthetics. The rib matches the pocket rib on size M and L. Please see photos as they form part of the listing.

HOW TO WEAR:

Perfect for layering, wear her with a pair of jeans or she is so snuggly to wear around the house on very chilly nights, no more answering the door in your dressing gown!
She is a great longer length for layering and looks great worn with aline skirts, shorter styles and dresses which work well with soft layers
Pair Clementine with your favourite work outfit for a cute and practical pop of colour

KNIT: Popcorn knit, which has wonderful designs throughout which is reminiscent of a bubble texture. Medium Stretch.

BUTTONS: Plastic tortoise shell buttons with a wobbly shaped edge.

COLOUR: Mid dark rust with a reddish undertone, we previously used this rust for our Mabel Cardigan.

Designed and Made in Sydney, Australia. We use local makers we have worked one on one with for many years. All knitwear is locally knitted by one of the last knitters in Australia!

*Please note M and L have a narrower band of rib at the bottom of the garment, this is not a fault, just a little surprise Bill decided to add in. It will not effect the wearing of the cardigan or its length, only its aethetics. The rib matches the pocket rib on size M and L. Please see photos as they form part of the listing.

fabric and care

100% Australian mercerised merino wool

This 100% mercerised merino wool is super special so we want to explain the difference you will feel when purchasing our knits compared to others you may own!

Mercerised merino is SUPER soft and silky, it hardly feels like wool. It is made this way to feel and drape like silk yarn does. It undergoes a chemical process when the wool soaked to remove the tiny itchy fibres called "scales", and when spun into yarn the thread is coated in a silicon like material which smooths and polishes the thread into a luxurious yarn. This yarn is then dyed to our colour specifications and knitted into our beautiful garments by our local (Sydney) knitted Bill.

CARE: We recommend treating your cardigans as carefully as possible, to allow you to wear them for years to come. We wash ours only when really needed, as wool is a very breathable and resilient fibre. To wash place your cardigan in a delicates bag, wash only with mild wool wash detergent, on a delicates cycle. Alternatively a soft hand wash using wool detergent will keep your cardigan looking even better for longer. Never wring, rub or bleach your cardigan.

COLD WATER WASH ONLY.

Reshape when wet and allow to dry laying flat in shade. Do not wash with anything that might rub or create pulls in the wool. If you do snag your cardigan on something, pull the thread gently to the inside of your cardigan and NEVER cut the threads, this will unravel the knit and create a hole. Wash at the end of the season (to avoid moth damage, they like to eat the dirty bits of wool!) and store your cardigan with cedar balls when not being worn, as moths find these 100% wool cardigans very tasty!

Standard fit, medium stretch in this knit texture, will give over time.
