RO Spiral Ribbed-Knit Zip Hoodie Cardigan - Rick Owen Dust Brown Drawstring Sweater

THE ARCHIVE STUDY: Rick Owen Style "Dust" Spiral-Seam Megarib Cotton Knit Zip-Up Hoodie Cardigan.

📏 Official High-Stretch Knit Sizing & Fit Matrix (S – L):

⚠️ HIGH-ELASTICITY FIT NOTE: Knitted in a deep accordion "Megarib" gauge that offers exceptional horizontal stretch. While the unstretched flat chest measures 106cm–116cm, the ribbed structure expands naturally to accommodate frames up to 90 kg (180 lbs). Reference Model: 175cm / 57.5kg (115 catties) wears Size S for a clean, sculpted fit. Match both your Height and Weight below.

Extended Stacked Sleeve Measurements: Size S (62cm) | Size M (63cm) | Size L (64cm).
*Combined with the 48cm–53cm dropped shoulder seam, the 62cm–64cm sleeves stack gracefully over the knuckles. Manual flat measurement in CM; a 2cm variance is normal for knitwear.

Deceptively minimalist at first glance, yet engineered with complex architectural seamwork upon closer inspection. Inspired by the iconic Venice & Paris RO-Style darkwear knitwear archives, this Spiral Ribbed-Knit Zip Hoodie Cardigan is crafted in the signature earthy "Dust" taupe-brown colorway. Designed with a cropped 63cm–67cm waist and elongated sleeves that gather over the hands, it pairs effortlessly with drop-crotch pods, wide-leg Bela trousers, and monolith boots.

Technical Specifications & Artisanal Knit Architecture:

• Spiral Diagonal Torso Seaming & Reverse Shoulder Seams (螺旋斜向收腰拼缝与外露反缝落肩): Rather than knitting a flat tube, the front panels are constructed with directional, inward-curving diagonal rib seams that taper toward the lower zipper—sculpting an athletic V-taper silhouette complemented by raw-look reverse-stitched dropped shoulders.
• 450g All-Season Combed Cotton Megarib (450克重工立体粗坑条纯棉针织): Calibrated at a versatile 450g mid-heavyweight density using breathable combed cotton yarns. Delivers deep three-dimensional vertical rib channels without overheating, making it ideal for four-season indoor and outdoor layering.
• Custom Metallic Full-Zip Placket & Extended Ivory Drawstrings (定制开模全拉链门襟与加长抽绳): Outfitted with bespoke custom-molded metallic zipper hardware that runs smoothly up the front placket into the structured knit hood, finished with signature contrast off-white flat cotton drawstrings.

📍 CRITICAL CARE & KNITWEAR MAINTENANCE (重工罗纹针织衫养护须知):

• Fold to Store — Never Hang Wet (平铺折叠收纳，切勿湿挂): Because of the substantial 450g ribbed cotton knit weight, always fold this cardigan in your wardrobe rather than hanging it on thin wire hangers, which can stretch the dropped shoulders over time.
• Cold Gentle Wash in a Mesh Bag: Zip up completely, turn inside out, and wash in cold water inside a laundry mesh bag on a delicate cycle (or hand wash cold). Lay flat on a towel to air dry; never tumble dry.
