A Long Line. A Tactile Front.
The W5423 by LA HAINE INSIDE US pairs a long oversized silhouette with broad panels of looped yarn running from collar to hem. The Sand colourway reads as a pale grey-toned neutral in the supplier photographs, while a removable knitted sash lets you wear the front loose or gathered at the waist.
Why This Cardigan Is Different
- Looped front panels: Rows of elongated yarn loops create a shaggy surface, unlike the narrow raw edge of a standard frayed trim.
- Long silhouette: Supplier photographs show a lower-calf length; exact garment length is not supplied.
- Removable knit sash: Tie the matching sash to bring the front together or remove it for an open silhouette.
- Contrasting knit textures: The plainer knitted body and back let the dimensional front remain the focal point.
- Generous sleeves: Long sleeves gather above ribbed cuffs.
- Gauge 3: The listed knitting gauge complements the visible coarse stitch structure.
- Three-fibre blend: Listed as 75% polyester, 15% polyamide and 10% wool.
- Neutral layering: The pale tone contrasts with black separates without needing additional decoration.

The Moment You Put It On
Leave the front open over a black base and the long pale panels frame the outfit. The looped yarn adds depth along the front, while the simpler back keeps the overall line uncluttered.
Tie the knitted sash and the volume gathers towards the waist. The same long silhouette becomes more defined, letting you change the balance of your outfit without changing the cardigan.
The Art of Looped-Yarn Texture
The supplier close-ups show elongated loops arranged across broad front panels, rather than merely unfinished edges. This dimensional surface contrasts with the flatter stitches of the body. Earlier claims that the garment is designed to unravel progressively are not verified and should not be treated as care guidance.
The Art of the Knit Sash
The flat knitted sash provides an adjustable tie closure without a contrasting leather belt. Wear it loosely knotted for definition or set it aside to let the front fall freely. The listed blend includes wool with polyester and polyamide; product-specific warmth, durability and sustainability guarantees have not been supplied.
How to Wear It
- Evening: Tie over an opaque black top and slim trousers with black boots.
- Everyday: Remove the sash and layer over a fitted base with straight-leg trousers.
- Earth-tone dressing: Combine with camel, olive or brown separates for a muted palette.
- Travel styling: Wear open over a simple cream or black base and comfortable trousers; styled footwear and underlayers are not included.
Care Instructions
Follow the sewn-in label first. Earlier listing guidance recommends cold hand washing or a delicate machine cycle, no tumble drying, flat drying, no direct ironing, low-temperature steaming only, no bleach and flat storage. These methods have not been checked against the care label; confirm washing and steaming permissions before treatment. Do not assume loosening yarn or progressive unravelling is intended. Store the sash with the cardigan.
