New: Cardigans @ Casa Del Shai

December 4th, 2006 at 06:40pm Ryan Darragh

You know by now that I pretty much think Shai Delacroix can do no wrong.  If she builds it, I will come.  Once again she justifies my blind faith in her design skills and instincts with these beautiful cardigan sweaters!  Yes!  The Menno Ivy League Cardigan comes in Prussian Blue (pictured at left), Wine (pictured below), and Viridian–that’s green to you and me. 

Also included with the sweater is a shirt with matching color necktie.  A “fat pack” is available that contains all three sweaters and all three shirts, plus an extra shirt with a black tie, so you can mix and match to your heart’s content.  The pack also includes the Men’s Signature Jeans (pictured).

As always, I am crazy about Shai’s texture artwork and her sense of design and style.  The sweaters look well tailored but not stuffy, and the detailing at the collar and necktie knot is especially nice.  The necktie knot is loose and the top collar button is undone, which gives you a comfortable, relaxed look.  The contrasting-color trim really makes the sweaters come alive, which is saying something for me as the light grey is a color I honestly might not otherwise reach for on the rack!  There are a few well placed, natural-looking wrinkles and the shirt cuffs and tails hang out a bit–a really nice touch.  Of course you can wear the sweater with your own shirts (with or without tie and shirttails) to dress it up or down, as you like.

Single sweaters (with shirt and tie) are priced at L$250, and the pack will set you back L$650.  With the included jeans and extra shirt and tie, the pack is a pretty great deal, especially if you want all three colors…and you know you do.  ;)  Available at the all-new, completely redesigned Casa Del Shai (Deimos 231, 45, 40).
