Jacket No. 2 is an oversized cabled cardigan with a v- neck.
The boxy shape and extra long sleeves give it a boyfriend fit, while the deep v-neck adds a feminine touch to the cardigan.
The style is classic with a special focus on the details. The shoulder construction, along with the neckline increases, creates a flattering fit.
The sleeves are designed with a slight flare that narrows at the cuffs.
The cardigan is worked from the top down without any addition seaming.

Size guide
Jacket No. 2 has an oversize fit. Calculate a positive ease of approx. 25-30 cm [9.75-11.75 inches].
The sizes are equivalent to the European sizes 34/XS (36/S) 38/M (40/L) 42/XL (44/2XL) 46/3XL (48/4XL) and suit a chest measurement of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) cm [31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.5 (37.5-39.5) 39.5-43.5 (43.5-47.25) 47.25-51.25 (51.25-55) inches].
For example: You measure 87 cm [34.25 inches] at your widest + 25-30 cm [9.75-11.75 inches] = 112-117 cm [44.25-46 inches]. Meaning that you should chose size. S with a finished circumference of 117 cm [46 inches].
