LA HAINE INSIDE US 3M LM281 Long Cardigan - Wool Rib Knit Black Green Grey Unisex Italian
Long Lines. Unrestrained Texture.
The LA HAINE INSIDE US 3M LM281 brings the presence of a long outer layer to an open-front rib-knit cardigan. Its broad collar frames the shoulders, while elongated knitted strips hang through the front and sides, adding movement to the vertical silhouette.
Made in Italy and presented as unisex, the design is offered in black, green and grey. The substantial-looking ribbing and relaxed proportions create an expressive layer over a simple top, without relying on a printed graphic or prominent logo.
Why This Cardigan Is Different
- Overlong silhouette: An extended body creates a continuous frame around shorter inner layers.
- Bold rib-knit texture: Pronounced vertical ribs give the surface depth and a strong directional line.
- Broad foldable collar: Wear it turned down across the shoulders or raised for a more enclosed outline.
- Hanging knitted strips: Long extensions introduce movement and irregular lines around the front and sides.
- Open-front styling: The front reveals contrasting layers rather than creating a solid, closed block.
- Long sleeves: Generous sleeve length continues the relaxed proportions to the hands.
- Three colour choices: Black, olive-toned green and grey offer different expressions of the same textured design.
- Combined unisex sizes: XS–S, M–L and XL–XXL are listed across all three colours.
- Italian production: Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US, with an avant-garde approach to knitwear.

Unisex Size Guide
| Listed Size | Combined Size Label |
|---|---|
| XS–S | Extra Small / Small |
| M–L | Medium / Large |
| XL–XXL | Extra Large / Double Extra Large |
All three combined sizes are listed for each colour. Verified garment measurements are not supplied. Request chest width, shoulder width, sleeve length and body length for your preferred size and compare with knitwear that fits. Allow for the intentionally relaxed silhouette and your intended layers; combined labels are not exact body measurements.
The Moment You Put It On
Let the front hang open over a plain dark top. The long ribbed body draws the eye downward, while the loose knitted strips move independently of the main silhouette, bringing character to an otherwise restrained outfit.
Raise the collar for a more sculptural frame, then turn it down when you want a quieter line across the shoulders. In black the effect is shadowed and architectural; green makes the ribbing more visible, while grey introduces a softer contrast to dark layers.
The Art of Rib-Knit Wool
Unlike a standard fine-gauge cardigan, the LM281 makes its rib structure a central design feature. Alternating raised and recessed lines produce visible depth, and the open knit can be seen when the garment is held away from the body. Wool is identified in the saved fabric information, but this does not establish a pure-wool composition.
The supplier's Thickness 3 designation is retained as a reference, not interpreted as a tested warmth level or a confirmed knitting gauge. No sourcing certification is supplied, so environmental or traceability claims are not assumed.
The Art of Extended Knit Details
The hanging knitted strips interrupt the otherwise vertical ribbed body. Rather than behaving like a conventional clean-edged cardigan, the piece adds loose lines that shift with movement and remain visible over trousers or layered tops. The broad collar repeats the texture at the neckline on a larger scale.
How to Wear It
- Architectural black: Wear the black cardigan over a charcoal top, cropped trousers and substantial boots.
- Green contrast: Pair the green version with black separates to make its ribbing and hanging details the focus.
- Grey evening layer: Combine grey with fitted dark trousers and tall boots for a long, contrasting frame.
- Relaxed travel styling: Layer open over a plain top and loose trousers, keeping the knitted strips clear of luggage hardware.
Care Instructions
Follow the sewn-in care label. With exact composition unconfirmed, consult a knitwear specialist before choosing a cleaning method. Avoid high heat, wringing and hanging while wet. If washing is permitted, reshape and dry flat, supporting the long body and knitted strips. Fold for storage to reduce stretching, and keep the open knit away from sharp jewellery and snagging hardware.
