W5487 Cardigan - Black Stretch Punto Milano Crumpled Iridescent Nylon Hood Metal Details Wooden Button Unisex Italian

Punto Milano Body. Crumpled Iridescent Nylon Hood. Wooden Button. Two Fabrics, One Cardigan.

The W5487 is a cardigan in stretch Punto Milano — 68% viscose, 27% nylon, 5% elastane — with an oversized hood in crumpled iridescent nylon with metal details (79% polyester, 12% metal), a wooden button closure, and pockets. Two fabrics in deliberate contrast: the smooth, structured Punto Milano body and the crumpled, iridescent nylon hood. The hood is oversized — it dominates the silhouette when worn up, the crumpled nylon catching light differently at every angle. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Cardigan Is Different

• Stretch Punto Milano: 68% viscose, 27% nylon, 5% elastane — Punto Milano is a double-knit fabric with a smooth, structured surface and a firm hand. Unlike standard jersey, Punto Milano has a more substantial body that holds its shape without lining or interfacing. The stretch content (nylon + elastane) ensures the Punto Milano moves with the body and recovers after wear without distorting the smooth surface. In black, Punto Milano reads as clean, precise, and elevated.
• Crumpled Iridescent Nylon Hood: 79% polyester, 12% metal — the hood is constructed from a crumpled nylon fabric with a permanently set crumple and an iridescent finish created by the metal content. The iridescence means the hood changes colour depending on the angle of the light — shifting between black, grey, and subtle colour tones as you move. The crumpled surface adds texture and dimension to the iridescent finish. The hood is oversized — when worn up, it dominates the silhouette; when worn down, it falls at the back as a large, crumpled nylon panel.
• Metal Details: The 12% metal content in the nylon hood creates the iridescent finish and adds a subtle weight and sheen to the crumpled surface. The metal details are woven into the fabric rather than applied — they are part of the construction of the hood.
• Wooden Button Closure: A natural wood button that closes the Punto Milano body — a warm, organic hardware detail that contrasts with the iridescent metal content of the nylon hood. The wooden button is the only closure on the cardigan.
• Two-Fabric Construction: The deliberate contrast between the smooth, structured Punto Milano body and the crumpled, iridescent nylon hood is the defining design tension of the W5487. The body is clean and precise; the hood is textured and dimensional. Two fabrics that should not work together, and do.
• Unisex: The W5487 is cut for both men and women — the oversized silhouette works across body types and genders.
• Made in Italy: Punto Milano construction, crumpled nylon hood finishing, and all construction completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On

The Punto Milano body is immediately smooth and structured — the double-knit surface clean and precise, the stretch content moving with the body without distorting the fabric. Then the hood. The crumpled nylon is immediately different from the body — textured where the Punto Milano is smooth, iridescent where the body is matte, oversized where the body is fitted. When worn up, the hood dominates the silhouette: the crumpled nylon catching light differently at every angle, shifting between black, grey, and subtle colour tones as you move.

The wooden button closes the body with a single, warm click. The W5487 is a cardigan where the contrast between the two fabrics is the design — the smooth Punto Milano body and the crumpled iridescent nylon hood in deliberate opposition.

The Art of Punto Milano

Punto Milano is a double-knit fabric — knitted on two needle beds simultaneously, creating a fabric with two interlocked layers that gives it a smooth, structured surface and a firm hand. Unlike standard single-knit jersey, Punto Milano has more body and holds its shape without lining or interfacing. The smooth surface of Punto Milano reads as clean and elevated — it does not pill, does not distort, and maintains its structure over time. In the W5487, the Punto Milano is a viscose-nylon-elastane blend (68% viscose, 27% nylon, 5% elastane) — the viscose adding drape and softness; the nylon adding durability and structure; the elastane adding stretch and recovery.

The Art of Crumpled Iridescent Nylon

The hood of the W5487 is constructed from a crumpled nylon fabric with a permanently set crumple and an iridescent finish created by the 12% metal content woven into the fabric. Iridescence is a colour effect created by the interference of light waves — the metal threads in the nylon reflect light at different wavelengths depending on the angle, creating a surface that appears to change colour as you move. The crumpled surface amplifies the iridescence — the raised and recessed areas of the crumple reflect light at different angles simultaneously, creating a surface that is constantly shifting. The result is a hood that reads as black from one angle and reveals subtle colour tones from another.

How to Wear It

• Hood Up, Button Closed: Pull the oversized nylon hood up and close the wooden button — the iridescent crumpled nylon dominates the silhouette, the Punto Milano body clean below.
• Hood Down, Open: Wear with hood down and cardigan open — the crumpled nylon hood falls at the back as a large, textured panel, the Punto Milano body visible at the front.
• Over a Turtleneck: Wear over a fitted black turtleneck and slim trousers — the Punto Milano cardigan over a minimal base, the iridescent nylon hood the focal point.
• Unisex Layering: Wear over a heavy knit or structured jacket — the regular fit accommodates layering without losing the cardigan's silhouette.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold or machine wash on delicate cycle — the Punto Milano body and crumpled nylon hood both require gentle handling
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to preserve the Punto Milano structure and the crumpled nylon hood shape
• Do not iron the nylon hood — heat will damage the crumpled finish and the metal content; steam only at low temperature on the Punto Milano body
• Do not bleach
• Store flat or hung — avoid folding along the crumpled nylon hood to prevent distortion
