Men's Button Front Grey Baby Alpaca Cardigan Sweater, "Geometric Alpaca"
Wilber Calapuja of Lima, Peru grew up with a mother who knitted sweaters to sell, but it wasn't until he was invited to work at a sweater factory that his interest in designing and making them awakened. His technical background has helped, and he is now independent, creating and making products that are completely his own. This roll-neck cardigan is 100% baby alpaca in a variegated grey with front buttons and patch pockets. It is perfect for men's casual wear.

"Lightweight hat, well-made"
Match this with anything outdoorsy that needs a touch of style. Nicely done. Not too heavy. Could even use it as an indoor hat if your place is not well heated.
