GIVN sweater CARLO WINE made of organic knitted cotton

GIVN CARL – the knitted men's sweater in organic cotton with a waffle structure

The CARL from GIVN is that kind of sweater that hits the perfect middle ground between sporty and smart. Not too stiff, not too basic, but certainly not complicated. The rich wine red color, the chunky waffle structure, and the calm round neckline make this a sweater that looks instantly warm and polished.

It is made from high-quality organic cotton and features a regular fit with a relaxed look. This makes it comfortable to wear while still looking sharp enough to style in a more refined way. Over corduroy trousers, with dark jeans, under a winter coat, or just on its own. This is truly the kind of sweater you put on and think: yes, that’s the one.

Waffle knit with character

What makes this sweater so beautiful is the texture. The waffle knit gives the CARL more depth than a smooth cotton sweater right away. You can see and feel the texture, but it remains subtle enough to combine easily.

The sweater therefore has a robust, warm quality without being thick or bulky. Perfect for those colder days when you want a nice sweater but aren’t looking for a heavy wool winter piece.

Fit & styling

The GIVN CARL has a regular fit with a sporty, relaxed look. Not tight, not oversized, just easy to wear. The round neckline, ribbed trims, and straight cut ensure it stays perfectly in place.

Pair it with corduroy trousers for a calm autumn look, or wear it with dark jeans for a more casual outfit. The wine red color looks stunning with navy, anthracite, denim, sand, brown, and dark green. The texture also stands out beautifully when worn under a jacket or overshirt.

This is a sweater you can wear during the week, but also comfortably to a dinner or family visit. Comfortable enough for lounging at home, smart enough for heading out.

Material & washing instructions

The CARL is made of organic cotton. It feels pleasant against the skin, breathes well, and is ideal if you find wool too hot or itchy.

Wash the sweater inside out at a low temperature and use a small amount of detergent. Do not overfill the washing machine so that the texture can rinse properly without unnecessary friction. Preferably do not tumble dry, as cotton generally does not benefit from it.

Gently reshape the sweater after washing and let it dry flat or well-supported. This keeps the waffle structure looking its best and prevents the sweater from stretching out unnecessarily.

Sustainable & fair

GIVN creates clothing with attention to material, wearability, and production. This sweater is fair made in Vizela, Portugal. And you can actually feel it: this isn't a fast-fashion trend piece, but a well-made garment you can wear often.

At Natur-el, we love these kinds of men's items. Not loud, but distinctive. Not complicated, but good. A sweater that is easy to combine and that you will enjoy season after season.

Don't buy if...

Are you looking for a very thick winter sweater or an oversized model? Then the CARL is probably not for you. This style specifically features a regular fit and a comfortable cotton structure.

But if you are looking for a soft, knitted men's sweater in organic cotton with a beautiful structure and a warm color? Then this is a truly fine choice.
