Cardigan Ribbed Knit Suede Elbow Patches – Ardex

Dense ribs. Suede contrast. Worn authority.

The Ascon cardigan leads with a dense, structured rib knit that holds its shape hour after hour — no bagging at the elbows, no loss of silhouette by midday. Suede elbow patches sit flush against the ribbed surface, delivering a tactile contrast that is deliberate and considered. The relaxed-but-structured fit moves cleanly over a dress shirt or a plain tee without adding bulk at the shoulders or chest. Available in Green, Dark Blue, Black, and Beige — four colourways that each carry the same weight and intention.

Suede Elbow Patches for Texture and Longevity The patches are positioned at the highest-wear point on the garment, adding a second material to the story while reinforcing the area that takes the most contact. The contrast between the ridged knit and the smooth suede surface is immediate and purposeful.

Dense Rib Knit Construction With Suede Detail The body is built from a dense ribbed knit with pronounced vertical channels that give the fabric real visual weight and structural memory — it snaps back to shape rather than stretching out. The knit has minimal horizontal give and a medium-to-heavy hand feel, making it a true mid-layer piece rather than a lightweight transitional item. Suede elbow patches are cut clean and stitched flush, adding a second material plane without creating any bulk or visible overlap at the join. Button closures run the full length of the placket with consistent tension throughout.
