Busan is a chunky yet light sweater, and with its combination of Italian merino, silk and mohair, it will give you a feeling of pure luxury. The natural fibers from the merino sheep will keep you warm when necessary while ensuring that the sweater feels airy. Busan is a soft, elegant and wearable friend for every season with its classic look and signature wide cable. It has raglan details, double ribbing, a cable, and short rows under the armholes and at the bottom of the body to create the perfect oversized shape. It is worked from the top down.
