Long Lines. A Different Way to Drape.
The W5446 unisex cardigan by LA HAINE INSIDE US pairs black wrinkled jersey with a long, asymmetric silhouette. A soft hood flows into the folded neckline, while the front panels can hang freely or be styled closer to the body. The same piece is shown on men and women, allowing texture and proportion to lead rather than a fixed gendered formula.
Why This Cardigan Is Different
- Wrinkled jersey: An irregular crinkled surface adds depth to black without a printed pattern.
- Asymmetric drape: Uneven front panels create a changing outline rather than a straight cardigan hem.
- Soft hood: Wear it raised to frame the face or lowered into the neckline.
- Button fastening: The supplier detail photograph shows a single dark front button.
- Multifunctional styling: The existing listing describes a versatile cardigan for open, fastened and layered looks.
- Waist-defined option: Styling photographs also show the fabric drawn in at the waist; confirm the supplied tie arrangement if this configuration is essential.
- Long sleeves: Narrow sleeves contrast with the more fluid body.
- Adjustable cuffs: The existing listing specifies buttonhole cuffs for sleeve adjustment; confirm the exact mechanism before relying on a particular setting.
- Pockets: Retained from the existing product specification.
- Unisex identity: Supported by the original male and female photography, collections and saved product classification.
- Made in Italy: The listing statement agrees with existing origin records.

Unisex Size Chart
The existing guide is retained below, but its measurements are not verified W5446 garment measurements. In particular, the listed 68–78 cm lengths do not clearly describe the long asymmetric silhouette shown in the original photographs, and the measurement point is unspecified. Sleeve measurements are absent. Contact TEPHRA for exact chest, shoulder, sleeve and shortest/longest hem measurements before choosing a size.
| Size | Chest (cm) | Shoulder (cm) | Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 88 | 40 | 68 |
| S | 94 | 42 | 70 |
| M | 100 | 44 | 72 |
| L | 106 | 46 | 74 |
| XL | 112 | 48 | 76 |
| XXL | 118 | 50 | 78 |
The Moment You Put It On
Let the front panels fall over a simple black base and the cardigan supplies its own movement. The hood can remain low around the neck, leaving the wrinkled surface and uneven hem to define the outfit.
Raise the hood or bring the fabric closer at the waist for another reading of the same silhouette. Unlike a standard straight-hem cardigan, the W5446 uses drape and changing lengths as its visual language, whether styled over trousers or leggings.
The Art of Wrinkled Jersey
The supplier imagery shows an intentionally crinkled black surface, while the existing listing identifies a 96% polyester and 4% elastane blend. The exact finishing process, stretch recovery and permanence of the wrinkles have not been supplied. The texture is therefore not presented as a guarantee of crease resistance or wash-after-wash retention.
How to Wear It
- Urban layering: Wear loose over a lightweight dark top, wide trousers and black boots.
- Clean contrast: Pair the asymmetric panels with an opaque off-white base and straight dark denim.
- Evening silhouette: Combine with black leggings or narrow trousers and lace-up boots, keeping the underlying coverage opaque.
- Waist-defined styling: Follow the photographed waist-drawn configuration once the tie arrangement is confirmed, leaving the long panels visible.
- Travel layers: Keep the base lightweight and confirm actual sleeve and chest allowance before adding a bulky knit.
Care Instructions
Follow the sewn-in care label. Earlier copy recommends cold gentle machine washing, no tumble drying or bleach, flat or hanging drying and no direct ironing on the crinkled surface. These methods and the earlier claim that the texture cannot wash out have not been manufacturer-verified. Confirm the approved cleaning and drying method before use, and avoid applying heat to the textured surface without label guidance.
