College cardigan in pure double-face merino wool with varsity details

The College Knitted Cardigan by Maison Kitsuné reinterprets the aesthetics of traditional American varsity jackets through a refined double-faced knit construction of pure extrafine merino wool. The model combines university clothing culture with material research and the contemporary language of the Franco-Japanese brand, giving life to a cardigan with a strong stylistic identity.
The Beluga/Dusty Beige version develops a color contrast between the dark olive green of the body and the beige of the sleeves, enhancing the alternation of the knits. The torso features a characteristic honeycomb knit, with a three-dimensional and structured surface, while the contrasting sleeves introduce a more uniform texture. The double-faced construction in extrafine merino wool gives the garment a soft hand and a pleasantly enveloping consistency.
The model features a varsity-inspired crew neck, finished with ribbed edges and contrasting stripes, also taken up on the cuffs and hem. The front closure is made with customized Maison Kitsuné snap buttons, while two pockets inserted in the side seams keep the line of the cardigan clean.
The College identity emerges through decorative knitted and embroidered applications: on the front appears the characteristic letter K, while the back is embellished with the large Maison Kitsuné Paris writing, which directly recalls the iconography of American university clothing. The comfort fit, with soft and contemporary proportions, enhances the construction of the garment without compromising its natural fluidity.
Made of pure merino wool, the College cardigan expresses Maison Kitsuné’s ability to reinterpret sportswear codes through refined materials and distinctive details. A garment in which knitwear tradition meets the varsity aesthetic, with a balance between material richness, contemporary construction, and recognizable graphic identity.
