Merc Tampere Chunky Wool Blend Shawl Collar Cardigan Black

The Merc Tampere Shawl Collar Cardigan in Black combines substantial knitwear construction with timeless retro 1970s styling. Designed for colder days, this chunky ribbed cardigan features a classic shawl collar and a classic button through front, creating a relaxed yet refined silhouette that works equally well with casual and smarter outfits. The deep black colourway gives the traditional design a clean, versatile finish, while the pronounced vertical ribbing adds texture and a rugged character that sits comfortably within Merc London's distinctive retro aesthetic. The Tampere Shawl Collar Cardigan by Merc conjures up images of the King of Cool, Steve McQueen.

Crafted from a substantial blend of 80% cotton and 20% Merino wool, the Tampere offers a balance of natural softness, breathability and warmth. The distinctive shawl collar frames the neckline, while five vintage football inspired shank buttons and two deep patch pockets reinforce its classic, mid century character. Ribbed cuffs and hem complete the structured finish, helping the cardigan retain its shape, while a discreet flash of signature Merc tartan inside the neck adds a subtle heritage detail.

Ideal as a dependable autumn and winter layer, the Tampere can be worn over a simple T-shirt or button down shirt, paired with dark denim, chinos or corduroy trousers. Its heavier knit makes it a practical alternative to a lightweight jacket on crisp days, while the understated black finish keeps it easy to incorporate into a considered everyday wardrobe. A timeless piece of Merc London knitwear that brings together comfort, texture and understated British style.
