Cardigan (sweater)
A cardigan is a type of sweater/jumper that opens down the front and can be attached with buttons or a zip. It was named after James Thomas Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, a British military commander, during his service in the Crimean War. It is usually machine or hand knitted from wool. Cardigans are available for both sexes but recent fashions have resulted in them being more typically worn by women.
