Men's Vintage Varsity Button Alpaca Cardigan

$190.00

$132.98

The cardigan that defined an era — a V-neck button-down silhouette inspired by 1970s varsity sweaters, jersey-knit in 100% superfine alpaca with matched buttons and reinforced cuffs — the kind of piece that looks like it was handed down, but performs like it was made for today.
Loose fit, endlessly layerable — a relaxed, non-fitted cut sits easily over a tee or a collared shirt, open as a layer or buttoned up as the statement — one piece that earns its place in the rotation year-round.
Warm without the weight — superfine alpaca's jersey knit wicks moisture while insulating, keeping you at the right temperature whether you're indoors or out, without the bulk that makes most cardigans feel like a commitment.
Pure alpaca, nothing added — no sheep's wool, no acrylic, no fillers. 100% superfine alpaca means genuinely itch-free warmth, IAA certified for authenticity, and a drape that cheaper blends simply cannot replicate. Learn more about our Pure Alpaca guarantee here.

Product Details

There is a particular confidence to a well-made cardigan — the kind that buttons up cleanly, drapes without effort, and reads as deliberately chosen rather than reached for. The Vintage Varsity Alpaca Cardigan has that quality. Its V-neck button-down silhouette draws from 1970s varsity-era knitwear, updated in 100% superfine alpaca jersey knit: a combination that gives it the visual warmth of a beloved throwback and the actual performance of a material that has nothing to prove.

Made entirely from pure alpaca — no sheep's wool, no acrylic, no fillers — and IAA certified for authenticity, every detail is considered: matched buttons that punctuate the button placket with understated precision, reinforced cuffs, and a loose, non-fitted cut that layers over a tee or a dress shirt with equal ease. Superfine alpaca's natural moisture management keeps you comfortable across temperatures without overheating, and its antimicrobial properties mean it stays fresher longer between washes. Handcrafted in Peru by Inca Fashions artisans. A sweater worth beginning a tradition around.
