The \u003cstrong\u003eTHINKING MU EKAIZ BLUE men's wool cardigan\u003c\/strong\u003e is made from 100% wool and features a beautiful, deep blue, slightly heathered color. Timeless enough to wear for years, but certainly not boring thanks to the distinctive rib knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are particularly fond of the beautiful lines in the knitwear. From the high collar, the ribs run diagonally over the shoulders and transition into vertical ribs on the body. Add the metal two-way zipper to that, and you have a \u003cstrong\u003eblue wool men's cardigan\u003c\/strong\u003e that sits somewhere between a cardigan, a sweater, and a knitted jacket. And that is exactly what makes it so easy to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e100% wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eBy THINKING MU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eModel: EKAIZ BLUE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep dark blue heather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eSturdy rib knit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh standing collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eFull zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ePractical two-way zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo polyester or acrylic: just 100% wool\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the EKAIZ BLUE men’s wool cardigan special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTake a close look at the knit around the shoulders. THINKING MU did not opt for a simple straight-knit cardigan here: the rib structure runs diagonally from the neck over the shoulders downwards. This gives the cardigan a tough, almost architectural look without being over the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe also love the \u003cstrong\u003ehigh wool collar\u003c\/strong\u003e. Wear it open and you have a relaxed cardigan over a T-shirt or shirt. Zip it up, and the collar provides plenty of warmth around your neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the THINKING MU EKAIZ BLUE cardigan made of 100% wool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes! And naturally, that makes us happy. This \u003cstrong\u003emen's wool cardigan with a zip\u003c\/strong\u003e consists of 100% wool. No acrylic and no polyester to fill out the knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool is naturally breathable, insulating, and temperature-regulating. This makes it wonderfully warm without the feeling of being trapped in a synthetic, sealed layer. Moreover, wool is less prone to absorbing odors. Often, simply airing it out is enough to keep the cardigan fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the EKAIZ wool men’s cardigan fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EKAIZ has a \u003cstrong\u003eregular fit and a straight cut\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is not meant to be tight against the body, but it is not an oversized garment either. The model in the photos is 1.83 meters tall and wears size M.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn size M, the total length is approximately 68 cm. We recommend choosing your \u003cstrong\u003eusual size\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are between two sizes and would like to wear it a bit looser over a shirt, you can opt for the larger size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the advantage of a two-way zipper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EKAIZ has a zipper that can be opened from both the top and the bottom. That might seem like a small detail, but it is incredibly convenient while wearing it. Especially when sitting down, you can open the bottom part slightly, which makes the cardigan drape better and prevents it from riding up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also fun for styling: open the bottom slightly so the shirt underneath is visible, or wear the \u003cstrong\u003eblue wool cardigan\u003c\/strong\u003e completely open as a knitted jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you style a dark blue men’s wool cardigan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith almost anything. And that is exactly why dark blue is such a great color for a wool cardigan. In the photos, you see the EKAIZ combined with ecru and brown, but it is just as beautiful with jeans, beige chinos, corduroy trousers, or dressy grey pants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its deep blue color, it is easy enough for every day, while the unique knit makes it smart enough for moments when a sweatshirt is just a bit too casual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you wear this thick wool cardigan as a transitional jacket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a dry spring or autumn day, absolutely. The sturdy wool knit and the high collar provide plenty of warmth. Wear a T-shirt or long-sleeve underneath, and you often won’t need an extra jacket on milder days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn winter, the EKAIZ becomes a wonderful extra wool layer under a roomier winter coat. This way, you get much more use out of a single garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you wash a 100% wool cardigan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs little as possible. Wool has fantastic natural properties and really does not need to be washed after every few wears. Let the cardigan air out after wearing it and give the fibers some rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes it need to be washed? THINKING MU recommends hand washing. Use cold water and a special wool detergent. For this, we like using \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLANALICIOUS wool detergent with lanolin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and after washing, gently reshape and let it dry flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan a 100% wool cardigan pill?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it can. With genuine wool, small balls or fluff can form due to friction, for example under the arms or in places where a bag or coat rubs against the knit. That is characteristic of a natural wool fiber and says nothing about the quality of the cardigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not pull the fluff out of the knit with your fingers. With our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, you can gently maintain the surface, and your wool cardigan will look fresh again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the THINKING MU EKAIZ BLUE cardigan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause, as far as we are concerned, this is exactly what a good \u003cstrong\u003emen's wool cardigan\u003c\/strong\u003e should look like: 100% wool, a nice sturdy structure, a high collar, a handy zipper, and a dark blue color that you can truly pair with anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo synthetic knit trying to look like wool, but \u003cstrong\u003ea real men's cardigan made of 100% wool\u003c\/strong\u003e. Warm, timeless, and easy to combine. One of those pieces you grab from your closet on the first cold day and keep wearing over and over again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THINKING MU","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":54557835493715,"sku":null,"price":179.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":54557835526483,"sku":null,"price":179.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":54557835559251,"sku":null,"price":179.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":54557835592019,"sku":null,"price":179.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/6525\/7043\/files\/thinking-mu-wollen-vest-met-rits-heren-blue-rotterdam-4.jpg?v=1786547325","url":"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/en\/products\/thinking-mu-wollen-merino-vest-ekaiz-brown-met-rits","provider":"Natur-el","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
