Essentiel Antwerp Karreau Double-Breasted Check Knit Cardigan in Indigo Ink
Karreau Double-Breasted Check Knit Cardigan in Indigo Ink
Essentiel Antwerp gives the double-breasted jacket a softer, knitted take with the Karreau. Cut in a relaxed, boxy shape with dropped shoulders and notched lapels, it is made from a soft, fluffy midweight knit patterned with an oversized check in cobalt blue and caramel brown. Available in Australia online and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
Because it is knitted rather than tailored, the Karreau wears with the ease of a cardigan and the shape of a blazer, and there is room to layer it over a crisp shirt or a fine knit. The brown in the check sits comfortably with khaki and olive, so it works over the Kourse Studded Slogan T-Shirt in Dusty Green with straight-leg jeans. For the same cardigan in greens, see the Karreau in Forest Whisper.

Is the Karreau a cardigan or a jacket?
It is a knitted cardigan cut like a jacket. The soft midweight knit feels like a cardigan, while the notched lapels and double-breasted fastening give it the shape of a blazer, so it works as a light outer layer or over a shirt indoors.
How does the Karreau fit?
It is designed for a relaxed fit with dropped shoulders. Size S measures 48" at the chest, which leaves room to layer over a shirt or fine knit. The model is 5'10" and wears size S.
What colours are in the Indigo Ink check?
Cobalt blue and caramel brown, with softer, muted tones where the two colours cross. The buttons are blue to match.
Is the Karreau available in another colour?
Yes. Riada also carries the Karreau in Forest Whisper, the same knit in a green and off-white check.
