Cardigan terry
The verdict
Fit
Men's cardigan with open front and button closure. Terry construction adds structure. Wool-alpaca blends fit close to true size with natural room for shirt underneath.
Quality
Alpaca-wool blends are soft and durable when well-finished. Officine's knit production is precise; this tier expects even stitching and secure buttons. The 50% discount reflects seasonal overstock, not construction flaws.
Price check
At 225 EUR discounted from ~450 EUR, this is outstanding value for a wool-alpaca knit cardigan. Full price would be premium; sale price makes it mid-tier value.
Best for
Knit-loving shoppers seeking structure and warmth for layering, comfortable with mixed-tone colorways.
Care
Alpaca-wool blends are delicate; hand-wash cool water, lay flat to dry to avoid stretching and fiber damage.

What owners report about Officine Générale sweatshirts
Owners report the draw is the fabric: a reviewer of the terry crewneck sweat described it as lightweight, unusually soft and stretchy, and a forum owner says his hoodie feels substantial and well built for its price range. The recurring brand-wide caveat is that fabrics impress more than construction, which owners say is where costs get cut. Owners consistently advise buying the line on sale rather than paying full retail.
- Strengths
- Fabric quality draws the most consistent praise — soft, stretchy terry and a hoodie owners describe as substantial and well built.
- Watch out for
- Construction, not fabric, is the reported weak point brand-wide, and owners agree full retail is poor value — nearly everyone recommends waiting for sales.
- Sizing
- Sizing is inconsistent piece to piece: one owner found the terry crewneck ran roomy enough to need one or two sizes down, while brand-wide reports say cuts generally run slim and slightly small — check each style's measurements before buying.
