Materials & Construction

Materials & Construction

The Truth by Republic Cardigan is made from a carefully balanced 60% cotton and 40% acrylic knit blend that delivers softness, warmth, and durability in equal measure. Cotton fibers provide natural breathability and a smooth feel against your skin, while acrylic adds resilience and shape retention so the cardigan maintains its fit after repeated wear and washing.

We’ve reinforced high-stress areas — including buttonholes, pocket openings, and shoulder seams — with bar-tack stitching to prevent unraveling. Rib-knit trim at the cuffs, hem, and button placket adds subtle texture and helps the cardigan hold its shape throughout the day. Every piece is knitted, cut, and finished with attention to detail, ensuring the quality you expect from Truth by Republic.


Sizing & Fit

Sizing & Fit

Our cardigan is designed with a relaxed, true-to-size fit that layers comfortably over tanks, tees, and blouses without feeling bulky. The relaxed cut allows for easy movement, while gentle side shaping at the waist creates a flattering silhouette that skims your frame.

Size Guide

We offer sizes XS through XXL. If you prefer a closer, more fitted look, consider sizing down; if you like extra room for heavier layering or an oversized style, size up. The mid-hip length — approximately 26 inches from shoulder to hem in size medium — works beautifully with high-rise jeans, midi skirts, and tailored trousers. Sleeve length is designed to hit at the wrist bone, with rib-knit cuffs that can be gently pushed up for a casual rolled look.


Care & Maintenance

Care & Maintenance

Caring for your Truth by Republic Cardigan is simple and stress-free. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, using a mild liquid detergent. We recommend placing the cardigan in a mesh laundry bag to minimize friction and pilling.

After washing, reshape the garment gently and lay flat to dry on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid wringing or twisting the knit, as this can distort the fibers. If you’re short on time, tumble dry on low heat, but air-drying will help preserve the softness and extend the life of the fabric. Lightly steam or iron on a low setting if needed, though most wrinkles will naturally relax as you wear the piece.

Perfect Everyday Cardigan
I bought this cardigan in camel and it's become my go-to layering piece. The fit is just right — not too loose, not too tight — and the fabric is incredibly soft. I've washed it several times and it still looks brand new.

Soft, Cozy, and Well-Made
The fabric is super soft and the cardigan is really well-constructed. I've worn it at least once a week since I got it. The only thing I'd change is adding more color options, but the neutral shades are beautiful.

Easy Care and Great Fit
I love that I can throw this in the washing machine and it comes out looking perfect. The fit is true to size and it doesn't pill or lose its shape. Definitely buying another one in a different color.
