■ Item Details
This is a Donegal nep cardigan from L.L.Bean, made in the 1990s.
This piece is characterized by the thick cable knit and neps (small knots in the yarn), which are the charm of Irish-made knitwear. The dark gray yarn scattered with neps has a deep yet warm feel, giving it a classic atmosphere.

The front features a classic cardigan design with a deep V-neck and button closure. It can be layered with a wide range of items, from shirts and turtlenecks to T-shirts, and will elegantly complete your winter styling.
Made of 100% wool, it's not too heavy, and the fluffy yarn makes it soft to the touch, allowing you to fully enjoy the "rustic and rich expression" unique to Irish knitwear.

■ Value as a Vintage Item
Donegal nep is a traditional material originating from the spinning mills of the Donegal region in northwestern Ireland. The "neps," which irregularly incorporate colored yarns, have a texture that evokes the remnants of handwork, and have a craftsmanship that is difficult to reproduce in current products.

90s L.L.Bean × Irish-made cardigans are extremely rare today in terms of country of origin, material, and knitting technique, and this category has been gaining particular appreciation in recent years.
Among them, cable knits with neps are few in number, and their classic appearance and depth of expression are truly the symbol of "high-quality vintage knitwear."

This is a masterpiece cardigan from the 90s L.L.Bean, with neps that stand out against the calm dark gray. This is an item that we highly recommend to those looking for a high-quality piece that can be used for a long time.
