NEEDLES Mohair Cardigans: Pattern, Texture and a New Solid Style
The autumn–winter lineup pairs patterned classics with a new solid style. Here are the texture, Japanese price and sizing details to consider for everyday layering.
A textured knit can be enough to change an autumn–winter wardrobe. On October 28, NEEDLES introduced its seasonal mohair cardigans, continuing the patterned MOHAIR CARDIGAN while adding a solid MOHAIR CREW NECK CARDIGAN. Together, the two approaches offer options for both pattern enthusiasts and those who prefer quiet colors, with texture and layering as common ground. The lineup has arrived at NEPENTHES directly operated stores and its Japanese online shop.
Let pattern lead, or leave the focus on texture
Official images place red, gray and black motifs alongside turquoise with black patterning and other color combinations. The long, fluffy mohair surface softens the edges of the designs, while buttons, plackets and ribbed finishes maintain definition. Pattern and material can share the spotlight in these pieces. A plain T-shirt underneath is one way to make the outer layer’s colors easier to appreciate.

The new solid style comes in gray, brown and black, shifting attention to the fabric itself. A single base color reveals changes in the hairy surface under light. For a quieter wardrobe, it can sit between a plain tee or shirt and a jacket; a brighter inner layer or accessory can provide color instead. These are styling possibilities, while trying the garment on remains useful for judging thickness and feel.
Check the Japanese-made solid model’s fabric and measurements
The black new model is listed under product code TY415C at ¥34,100 on the Japanese online store. Its composition is 55% mohair, 30% nylon and 15% wool, and it is made in Japan. Those specifications belong to the verified black product page; other patterns and models should be checked individually. The brand describes warmth and lightness, while composition, length and flat measurements provide concrete starting points for comparison.

The size chart runs from XS to XL. Size M measures 70 cm in length, 55 cm across the body, 50 cm across the shoulders and 86 cm in yuki sleeve measurement. Size S is 68 cm long and 53 cm across the body; L is 72 cm and 57 cm respectively. Yuki includes the shoulder section and differs from sleeve length measured on its own. Compare with a familiar knit laid flat, considering the hem position, room around the chest and space for a shirt underneath.
Bring the texture into an everyday wardrobe
To wear a patterned cardigan casually, start with clean-colored jeans or straight trousers and keep one main pattern on the upper body. A solid cardigan can contrast with textured trousers or a shirt collar. The button-front construction offers different approaches: open, it lets the inner layer create a vertical line; closed, the knit becomes the center of the outfit. Adjusting layers to indoor and outdoor temperatures helps integrate it into an existing wardrobe.
Check NEPENTHES’ official collection and individual product pages for purchasing details. The Japanese online shop explicitly does not accept international orders, so overseas readers should ask authorized local retailers about availability and distinguish the Japanese list price from local pricing. Store and online stock can change, and a size chart does not confirm current stock in every size. Start with a preferred pattern or solid color, then compare fabric, measurements and purchasing location to narrow down the season’s mohair cardigan options.
