Open-Front Cardigan (women's)
About Eddie Bauer’s sweaters: The brand's current sweater line is small, seasonal, and mostly women's styles — light cotton-blend pullovers and cardigans; men's sweaters largely disappear from the site outside the cold months.

Our take
Eddie Bauer's sweater offering today is a modest, seasonal rotation of women's cotton-blend knits rather than the broader knitwear range the brand once carried; the men's sweater section shrinks to almost nothing in the off-season. The Open-Front Cardigan is the best-reviewed piece in the current line, a drapey layering knit in a cotton-acrylic blend. Owner reviews on the brand's site describe it as a light, summer-weight layer that works well over air conditioning, though the loose open shape divides opinion. Review coverage of the current sweater line is thin overall, so conclusions rest on a small number of owners.

The details
- Material
- 60% cotton, 40% acrylic in a light open knit; owner reviews describe the weight as suited to summer layering rather than cold-weather warmth.
- Fit
- An open front with a relaxed drape and no closure. Some owners find the shape easy to wear over anything; others report the loose cut reads shapeless, particularly on fuller midsections, so it is a style-dependent fit.
- Quality
- The few owner reviews on the brand's site rate it well and describe the knit as good quality for a light layer, but the sample is small. Forum discussion of the brand's knitwear over the years has been skeptical, so long-term durability is unproven.
- Best for
- Shoppers who want an inexpensive-on-sale, lightweight layering cardigan for offices and summer air conditioning rather than a warm winter knit.
- Care
- The cotton-acrylic blend is machine washable; wash cold and dry flat or on low heat, since acrylic content is prone to pilling and heat damage with rough treatment.
