wikipedia

in my exciting life as a customer service slave, i have referenced the ever reliable source, wikipedia about a little obsession that i have with the cardigan. this delightful, lightweight and fashionable article of clothing is defined as a cardigan: a type of sweater/jumper that ties, buttons or zips down the front; by contrast, a pullover doen not open in fron, but forns a solid tube around the torso. the cardigan was numbed after James Thomas Brundenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, a British military commander, following his service in the Crimean War. it is usually machine or hand knitted from wool or cotton. cardigans are available for both sexes, but are more typically worn by women(e.g. the classic twinset). cardigans are also popular in twee fashion.
*i am pretty much in LOVE with this little number by Gwen Stefani's line L.A.M.B.
