Sometimes, when staring into the dark depths of your closet, you just need to stop and ask yourself, “What would grampa do?” And for those times when it’s just a tad too cold for a t-shirt, or you feel like covering up the mustard stain on your white shirt, the latest Made in USA Cotton Zip Cardigan by American Trench could very well be the answer to that (fairly specific) question.

When it came to production, no foreseeable corners were cut here. In search of a heavy knit just like the old days, American Trench sought out a sweater factory… from the old days. Knit with 100% cotton yarn, each piece was made at a factory in Massachusetts that’s been doing their thing since the 1930s. It’s simple and to the point, which makes it equally as versatile in dressed-up and chilled-out scenarios alike. It features a premium matte nickel zipper by UCAN Zippers in LA, and will only get more comfy with wear.

Available for $175 at American Trench.
