Mens Merino Wool Cardigans

The men's merino wool cardigan range includes button-front and zip styles in a range of weights and colourways. Whether you're layering over a collared shirt for the office or wearing it as a standalone piece on cooler days, the natural temperature-regulating properties of Australian merino wool mean you won't overheat indoors or underdress outdoors. All Aklanda cardigans are machine washable and certified Australian Made & Owned.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Aklanda's button cardigan and zip cardigan styles?

Aklanda's button-front merino cardigans offer a more traditional, dressier silhouette that works well over a shirt or in smart casual settings. Zip cardigans, including half-zip and full-zip styles, are easier to layer and remove quickly, making them more suited to active days or variable-temperature environments. Both are 100% Australian merino wool and fully fashioned in Melbourne.

Can I wear a merino wool cardigan instead of a suit jacket?

In many business casual environments, yes. Aklanda's finer-gauge merino cardigans, particularly the herringbone and classic button-front styles, sit cleanly over a dress shirt and present professionally without the formality of a suit jacket. The superfine Australian merino wool holds its shape and drapes well, which is key to making a cardigan work in a workplace context.

Are Aklanda's merino cardigans suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Aklanda's merino wool cardigans are made from superfine Australian merino with a fibre diameter under 21.5 microns - fine enough that most people with wool sensitivity find merino comfortable against bare skin. Merino fibre at this gauge bends rather than prickles, which eliminates the itching associated with coarser wool garments. If you have severe wool sensitivity, we recommend testing with a basics-weight style first.
