Meet the Matilda, one of the softest layers at Abbey Lane and the one you will reach for the moment the mornings turn cool. A brushed knit cardigan in a deep olive green check with grey and navy, cut like a shirt and worn like a favourite jumper. Warm without the bulk: a soft brushed knit that keeps the chill off on the dog walk and the morning shop, and still slips under a coat. Relaxed, forgiving fit: generous through the body and sleeves with a curved shirt tail hem, so nothing clings and nothing digs in. Collar and button front: button it up like a shirt on a cold morning, or leave it open over a tee for something easier. Two deep side pockets: somewhere for your keys, your phone and your cold hands. Eight sizes, S to 5XL: cut with room to move, whichever size you take. Lovely with jeans and a white tee at the weekend, or with dark trousers and ankle boots when you want to look that bit more put together. Machine wash cool on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry.Size guideApproximate body measurements in inches. Pick the size closest to your own measurements.
