Word origin

The term 'cardigan' originated from the 7th Earl of Cardigan, James Brudenell, who was a British military commander known for leading the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War. It is said that he popularized the style of the knitted garment that now bears his name. The cardigan has since become a staple in fashion, known for its versatility and comfort.
