If you want a knit you can easily take off without ruining your hair, a button-front cardigan can be a good solution. These will not suffer from the problem of zip-front cardigans or hoodies, where the zipper tape and body can shrink at different rates, causing the front edge to look like crispy fried bacon. Of course, like anything, cardigans can be as cheap or expensive as you want. They can be textured or patterned, made from pure wool or distinctive blended yarns. Some of my favorites are pictured below. There's Lemmermayer, a uniquely textured alpaca cardigan made famous in the mid-century on golf courses. Then there's Inis Meain, an upscale Aran knitwear producer producing some of the finest qualities on those islands. In the third slide, you can see a chunky ribbed knit from Colhay's. Similar styles come from William Lockie, Scott & Charters, Drake's, The Armory, and Cordings. These cardigans come in Geelong or cashmere; the first is more affordable, while the second is unbelievably sumptuous. When buying chunky shawl-collar cardigans like these, always check the beefiness of the collar. Limp ones can sometimes feel like they lack verve. If the above feels too refined for you, then check out RRL, which makes both machine- and handknitted versions. IMO, their handknits have no equal. They're the kind of thing that looks natural against Western shirts and raw denim jeans. They serve more as outerwear than knitwear. As usual, if you are shocked by the prices, I find it's useful to proceed with the following in mind: — Buy Less, Buy Better: Most people have way too many clothes. If they bought fewer things, they could afford to splurge on things that will give them more pleasure in the long run. — Shop Second Hand: Many of these can be had on secondary markets such as eBay for considerably less than retail. — Commit Crimes: Catalytic converters are easy to steal, hard to trace, and contain valuable metals. If you steal one or two a week, you can eventually save up for a nice cardigan. I hope this helps.
