This is a closet staple that undoubtedly belongs in every man’s closet. Whether you live in the four seasons and are beginning to face harsher temps, or you like to travel to a cold destination from time to time – this item will bring a bundle of joy, and for years to come. Let us tell you why.

For starters, Faherty is a mission-driven brand you can feel good about supporting. Not only are they committed to complete transparency, the majority of fabrics the brand uses are made from sustainable materials. They prioritize ethically sourced cashmere, alpaca, recycled polyester, and hemp along with non-toxic dyes. And this cardigan is a beautiful result of this process.

Design

It’s a knit made from a mix of cotton and cashmere to bring you the perfect balance of warmth and cozy comfort. Think of that really expensive cashmere sweater you have (but only wear on special occasions) and marry that with your most comfortable, relaxed cotton t-shirt. That’s exactly what you get with this fall/winter staple from Faherty. Once your throw this on, trust us — you’ll never want to take it off. It has a mid-level weight but is breathable with just enough stretch. Plus, it’s totally safe to machine wash (unlike your typical cashmere sweater).

The pattern comes in two different colorways. We recommend choosing the one that best fits in with the palette of your closet. If you’re still undecided, choose a tone that best compliments your complexion. Usually bold patterns are more trend-driven items, but this is an exception. Like a good area rug, this western style is a core print that is seen year after year. It has become a true traditional print every time fall and winter come around. The design is woven with five different threads, placing major attention to detail that doesn’t go unnoticed. This type of depth in garment hits different and is much more apparent in person. The print is inspired by indigenous art and weavings, and rightfully so. Moreover, 10% of the sales revenue from this product is donated to the Lakota Way Healing Center. *Golf clap for Faherty for doing it right.*

How to Wear

Aside from its design, we love its practicality and versatility, enabling it to be dressed up with chinos or down with jeans. Many men are intimated by a cardigan with a shawl, but this one has a modern-slim fit, designed for layering. You can throw it over a dress shirt for a wintery feel and it will still come off as modern and slim. It also looks lovely with a plain tee, to keep it simple. The sweater even has pockets for storage or hand placement, complete with horn buttons that feel expensive. We love the sleeves scrunched up a bit and the bottom two buttons undone. This makes for that effortless chic vibe all guys aspire to.

Faherty’s Motif Cardigan is the perfect closet addition when sweater weather calls. It’s the best of all worlds – polished yet laid back, vintage with a modern fit and, of course, it brings all the comfort in the world. At $298, it’s one closet staple well worth the investment because you’ll wear it on repeat for years to come, mark our words.

Though many may gripe about the cold weather days of winter and fall, there’s no denying the chill allows us to rock some pretty comfortable clothing. Knit scarves, leather gloves, and fuzzy sweaters abound in these seasons, insulating us from the elements and making us feel oh-so-cozy.

There’s seemingly no end to the warm accessories we choose from, but one of our favorites is the winter sock. Durable and plush, this cold weather must-have is as essential for roosting around an indoor fire as it is for trudging along the icy trails of a mountainside hike.

When we watch our favorite TV shows, there are a lot of different elements to keep track of that make the story flow properly. The acting is one of the first items of importance. There's nothing quite like an iconic performance to galvanize our interest in a show. The musical choices are another vital component of the atmosphere and tone of a show or movie, and the sound and mixing people deserve tons of credit for their contributions. We want to focus on an underrated yet irreplaceable addition to every piece of entertainment we consume, though: Costume design.

What our favorite characters wear onscreen tells us so much about their personalities, their desires, and where they want to go in life. Sometimes characters have such a distinct style that they become a fashion icon. If you love the world of crime dramas, you probably already have one of Saul Goodman's bright and brash get-ups at the forefront of your mind. The morally gray protagonist lawyer of Better Call Saul has been wowing folks for over a decade going back to his days as a bit character on Breaking Bad, and his suit and tie combinations continued to expand their horizons once he went solo on his own show.
