A zip changes what a cardigan is for. Buttons come undone from the top down and that is the only direction available; a two-way zip opens from either end, which means the fit through the hip is adjustable independently of the neckline.
The collar stands without folding, high enough to close against a wind, and the knit is plain wool with no cable or pattern to interrupt it. Ribbing runs deep at the hem and at both cuffs, and the body is cut with enough ease to go over a shirt without pulling at the closure.
It is the layer that lives by the door and gets worn more than anything hanging in the wardrobe.
