With a collar reminiscent of a Nehru Jacket and made out of one of Noro’s softest yarns, Cash Iroha, this jacket is like butter to wear. Versatile enough to wear with jeans on a weekend or slacks to a business meeting, the slightly cinched waist, raglan sleeves and repeated edging detail result in a fashionable and flattering addition to any wardrobe. And, it is knit from the top down, all in one piece so there is very little finishing required. There are 11 buttons, though, so start looking for great ones now!
