Seafoam Cables
Seafoam Cables is a slightly oversized, saddle-shoulder sweater with rolled edges for all details. Think of something to snuggle up in on breezy late summer evenings in coastal New England, emulating the laidback aesthetic of artsy Cape Cod towns, with residents wearing their cozy, workhorse sweaters over white button-downs and ripped jeans, walking barefoot on the beach.
