Product Overview
The Henbury Women’s V-Button Cardigan is a sophisticated addition to any professional wardrobe, offering a refined silhouette that balances comfort with a formal aesthetic. Crafted from a high-quality fine-knit fabric, this garment provides a lightweight yet durable layer suitable for year-round wear in corporate or hospitality environments. The modern, long-line design is complemented by shell-effect buttons and a semi-fashioned finish, ensuring a polished appearance that reflects the standards of your business.
Key Features
- Semi-fashioned armhole and neck: This traditional knitting technique provides a superior fit and prevents the garment from losing its shape over time.
- Shaped waist and feminine fit: Designed specifically for the female form, this tailoring ensures a professional and flattering profile without being restrictive.
- Two front pockets: Discreetly integrated into the design, these pockets offer practical storage for essential items while maintaining the cardigan's sleek lines.
- Shell-effect buttons: These premium buttons add a touch of elegance and a high-end finish to the central fastening.
- Tube knit hem and cuffs: This construction method ensures the edges remain crisp and do not roll, providing a long-lasting, tidy appearance.
Design & Performance
The performance of this cardigan lies in its meticulous material composition. By blending 50% cotton with 50% acrylic, Henbury has created a fabric that offers the natural breathability and soft touch of cotton alongside the resilience and colour-fastness of acrylic. The 12-gauge fine-knit construction results in a smooth, consistent surface that feels substantial yet remains lightweight enough for layering over shirts or blouses.
The set-in sleeves and 1x1 neck ribbing enhance the garment's structural integrity, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of daily professional use while retaining its refined handle and drape.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, fine-knit surface of this cardigan makes it an excellent canvas for custom branding. For a truly professional finish, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, can reproduce company logos or staff names with precision, creating a durable and high-quality look that enhances your brand identity.
While embroidery is often preferred for knitwear, high-quality printing is also available for larger, bolder designs. Regardless of the method chosen, our in-house experts ensure that your customisation is applied with the utmost care to maintain the integrity of the fine-knit fabric.
Use Cases
This cardigan is an ideal choice for front-of-house staff, retail environments, and corporate offices where a professional yet approachable appearance is required. It is particularly well-suited for healthcare administration and hospitality roles, providing warmth in air-conditioned environments without compromising on style. Given the extensive size range from XXS to 4XL, it is a practical solution for outfitting diverse teams.

Practical Advice
This cardigan is designed with a feminine fit in mind. If you intend to wear it over thicker garments or prefer a looser silhouette, you may wish to consider moving up one size. The fine-knit construction makes it a perfect mid-layer, fitting comfortably under jackets or over tailored shirts without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the appearance and performance of your knitwear requires careful attention to the washing process. To ensure the longevity of the fabric and any custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively cleans the garment while preserving the structural integrity of the cotton and acrylic blend.
It is essential to wash the cardigan inside out and with similar colours to prevent dye transfer and surface pilling. Always use a detergent specifically recommended for colours to maintain the vibrancy of the knit. To prevent the garment from stretching or losing its shape, it should be reshaped while damp and dried flat, away from direct heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight.
Do not tumble dry or bleach this garment, as extreme heat and harsh chemicals will damage the delicate fibres and lead to shrinkage. When ironing, use a medium setting and always iron on the reverse side to protect the fine-knit texture and any embroidered or printed logos.
