Ivy Western Intarsia Zip Cardigan
The front and back tell different stories — the ASTR Ivy Western Intarsia Zip Cardigan is a generously oversized zip-front cardigan in vintage cream with a large-scale western intarsia worked in rich dark chocolate brown and warm caramel. Turn to the front: a bold intarsia horse head portrait fills the lower right panel in dark chocolate, rendered with the graphic clarity of a vintage western tapestry, flanked by diagonal chevron and zigzag geometric bands running across the chest and shoulders. Turn around: the entire back carries a panoramic frieze of three galloping horses in profile across the middle — muscular, in full mid-stride motion, rendered in warm caramel and chocolate brown above a geometric diamond zigzag hem border. The sleeves carry additional western motifs in the close-up: a full-scale cowboy boot in chocolate and caramel on the forearm, with rope and scroll details elsewhere. A spread polo-style knit collar frames the zip-front closure and sits perfectly over a plaid or printed blouse collar. Two front patch pockets. Long sleeves with wide ribbed cuffs. Wide ribbed hem band. The silhouette is oversized and relaxed, hitting at the hip at 27″. 15% wool in the blend for warmth and structure. Slight stretch. Dry clean only. Vintage Cream. XS–L. By ASTR.

Styling Suggestions
- Wear over a brown plaid or houndstooth lace-up blouse with chocolate brown suede shorts and dark brown penny loafers with cream socks as shown — the vintage cream cardigan over warm brown tones creates a fully western-inspired autumn palette where every piece reinforces the same warm, earthy story and the intarsia horses read as the considered focal point rather than a novelty
- Layer over a fitted cream or ivory ribbed turtleneck with slim dark wash straight jeans and cognac western-style ankle boots for a classic western-meets-minimal approach where the oversized cardigan’s intarsia panels are the entire statement and the tonal cream-on-cream layering keeps the foundation clean and quiet
- Style over a simple white fitted tee with high-waisted camel or tan wide-leg trousers and tan block-heel loafers for an autumn daytime look where the vintage cream zip cardigan reads as the outerwear layer and the galloping horse back panel becomes the exit detail when the cardigan is worn open
- Wear zipped fully closed as a standalone top over slim dark denim with chocolate brown ankle boots — the polo-style collar and full zip closure with the oversized silhouette reads as a complete look without layering, and the back horse frieze makes it worth turning around for
