Mekia Cardigan

This heavyweight melton jacket relies on a dramatic, architectural sweep, defined by an exaggerated shawl collar and wide, bell-shaped sleeves that hold their structure away from the body. The dark olive wool-blend feels substantial, favoring a sharp, boxy silhouette that acts more like a mid-season architectural layer than a traditional sweater. It is a study in proportions, designed to be cinched with its matching tie for a softened waist or worn open to emphasize the clean, geometric drape.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed of 45% polyester, a petroleum-based synthetic that limits breathability and contributes to microplastic shedding. The blend with wool, combined with a "dry clean recommended" instruction, suggests a reliance on synthetic fibers that trap heat and may harbor chemical residues from industrial processing.
