3M M1374 Cardigan Bouclé Knit Gauge 5 Wool Blend Unisex Ecru — Made in Italy
Ecru Is Not a Neutral. It Is a Choice.
The 3M M1374 in Ecru is a regular-fit bouclé cardigan by LA HAINE INSIDE US, knitted in gauge 5 from a 70% cotton, 30% wool blend. Front pockets. Unisex proportions. A colour that sits between white and warmth — raw, undyed, completely itself. This is the cardigan that does not try to disappear into the wardrobe. It anchors it.
Why This Cardigan Is Different
- Bouclé Knit: Looped yarn construction creates a textured, sculptural surface with visual depth and natural warmth
- Gauge 5 Construction: Fine, dense knit that holds its shape and delivers a clean, controlled silhouette
- 70% Cotton, 30% Wool: A natural blend that breathes, insulates, and softens with every wear
- Front Pockets: Functional detail that adds a relaxed, utilitarian edge to the refined silhouette
- Regular Fit: Versatile, gender-neutral cut that works across body types and styling approaches
- Unisex Design: No gendered construction — proportions designed for everyone
- Ecru Colorway: A warm, raw off-white that reads differently under every light — never flat, never cold
- Made in Italy: Crafted in Italian ateliers with artisanal attention to knit construction and finish

The Moment You Put It On
Ecru bouclé is warm in a way that black cannot be. The texture catches the light differently — the loops read as cream, ivory, sand, depending on the hour. The cotton-wool blend settles against the skin with a softness that is immediate. The pockets are real. The fit is right. Nothing is excessive.
Wear it open over a white shirt and it reads as layering done correctly. Wear it closed and it becomes the piece. Either way, ecru does the work that black cannot — it brings warmth into the silhouette without softening the edge.
The Art of Bouclé Knit
Bouclé is a looped yarn construction that creates a textured, almost sculptural surface. Unlike flat knits, bouclé traps air between its loops, providing warmth without bulk. In gauge 5, the loops are fine and dense — the texture is present but controlled. In ecru, the natural colour of the cotton and wool fibres is allowed to speak without interference: raw, warm, and completely honest about what it is.
How to Wear It
- Tonal Warmth: Ecru cardigan + cream or camel trousers + tan leather loafers — warm monochrome
- Sharp Contrast: Open cardigan over a black fitted turtleneck + black straight-leg trousers + black boots
- Unisex Classic: Cardigan + white shirt + straight-leg jeans + minimal sneakers — works on any body
- Relaxed Layer: Closed cardigan as outerwear over a slip dress or tailored trousers + ankle boots
Care Instructions
- Hand wash cold or dry clean only
- Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to preserve bouclé structure
- Do not iron directly on bouclé surface — steam only
- Store folded to maintain shape and prevent stretching
