Like leather jackets and stage-stomping boots, the cardigan is yet another sartorial staple that’s earned a spot in the rock-& roll hall of fashion fame. Long before Kurt Cobain’s famous green cardigan, the utilitarian garment was a military staple that became an “It” item, thanks to one particular aristocratic British officer known for his stylish wool waistcoat.
The traditionally itchy-looking sweater traces its origins to the seventh Earl of Cardigan James Thomas Brudenell, who gained (and lost) glory for leading a doomed charge against the Russians during the Crimean War.
