The Wizard School Cardigan
The Wizard School cardigan is a classic - whether you opt for the dark charcoal 100% wool or the black acrylic version.
Easy to wear and comfortable, the cardigan is perfect for the layered look. At Hobbie's House, we knit the standard school uniform cardigan in all "House" colors as well as custom colors.
Moreover, wearing a cardigan is now cool.
Buttoned or zippered, Mister Rogers made the cardigan his trademark.
Remember the varsity sweater? During the past year, we have received many requests for school sweaters, more specifically, reproductions of varsity sweaters for High School and College alumni groups.
Varsity sweaters are also found as pullovers but the more common style is the cardigan or letter sweater.
At Hogwarts©, the cardigan is obviously gaining in popularity and worn by more students. Walking to your next "Magic Spells" class or simply as a change to your school uniform wardrobe, the cardigan will never go out of style.
This is the ideal garment to customize with your own school colors - regardless of the version you prefer.
The cardigan styles are knit in the same dark charcoal grey, 100% wool as the *New Style* pullover sweater.
A few years ago, after studying still frames from the movies, we offered the cardigan in two distinct versions. We still do, however the majority of customers prefer the OOTP version, featuring modified set-in sleeves and a closer fit.
If your preference is for the dropped-shoulder, over-sized look, please contact us to discuss the alternate design.
The "PoA" styled Wizard School cardigan has a comfortable fit, which simply means that it has a bit more wearing ease than our pullover sweaters, as cardigans should. It makes the cardigan look oversized.
It is an easy to wear cardigan with a modified sleeve designed to reduce the bulk normally associated with this style of cardigan. Other details include a five button front closure. The buttons are black.
The "OOTP" style Wizard School cardigan is close-fitting, which means that it has less wearing ease the cardigans normally have.
It is an easy to wear cardigan with full fashioned, modified set-in sleeves. Other details include a five button front closure. The buttons are black.
House colors adorn the bottom of the cardigan bodies and sleeves with a narrow/wide/narrow stripe - in both styles. Both cardigans are knit in 100% wool - we strongly recommend dry cleaning.
To order the cardigan in children's sizes, please visit the Childrens Sweaters page.

A wee bit of fashion history
The cardigan, this knitted garment that buttons or zips down the front, was named after James Thomas Brudenell, Seventh earl of Cardigan - a British general during the Crimean War. Brudenell also led the Charge of the Light Brigade, immortalized by Lord Tennyson's poem.With the help of inherited wealth, he set out to make his military regiment the best-dressed in the service by introducing the cardigan jacket.
From personal experience, we can vouch that the cardigan has always been an integral part of the British school uniform. Our school colors were navy and light blue.
So why not add a cardigan to your wardrobe - they are popular indeed and come in so many different styles - cropped, hooded, long, buttoned, zippered too.
