Cardigan — where does the word come from?

The word ‘cardigan’ comes from James Brudenell, Earl of Cardigan, who popularized the knitted military waistcoat. The town of Cardigan in Wales lent its name to his title, hence the term. Our factory continues this heritage by creating buttoned, zipped, or belted cardigan variations for fashion houses worldwide.
