The cardigan that’s read more novels than you—but still knows how to relax.

The Portsmouth is a nod to the cardigans of mid-century academia—think elbow patches, pipe smoke, and well-worn paperbacks—but we’ve given it a proper refresh. Knit in a chunky rib stitch with a modern fit and patch pockets made for cold hands or overdue library books, it’s the kind of layer you reach for when flannel feels too casual, but a blazer’s too much fuss.

• Midweight rib stitch for old-school texture
• 7-gauge, 3-end construction for warmth and structure

• Imported
