Striped Cable-Knit Sweater: Check Shoulder and Sleeve for Layering
Compare the S–XL shoulder, bust, sleeve and length chart for this Navy or White cable-knit sweater before layering it with a shirt or coat.
The MAXCT striped cable-knit round-neck sweater has a cable pattern across the front and contrasting bands at the sleeves. The live photos show both White and Navy versions; the color selector now opens a matching main photo for each. The source lists S–XL measurements in inches. If you want to wear it over a shirt or under a coat, the useful choice is not just which color you prefer: check the shoulder and sleeve as well as the bust so the layer sits where you expect.
Make a four-measurement note from a sweater you own
Lay a sweater that works with your usual shirt and coat flat. Record its shoulder width, bust circumference, sleeve length and body length, using the same tape route every time. The listing gives these four figures, but does not state whether they are finished-garment or recommended body measurements, or define the endpoints. Use your reference as a comparison, then ask for a measuring diagram if a close call would change your choice.
| Size | Shoulder | Bust | Sleeve | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 16 | 39 | 23 | 24 |
| M | 16 | 41 | 23 | 25 |
| L | 17 | 44 | 24 | 25 |
| XL | 17 | 46 | 24 | 25 |
Notice the uneven steps. M and L have the same listed body length of 25 in, but L adds 3 in at the bust and 1 in each at shoulder and sleeve. If a reference sweater that layers well measures 41 in at the bust, 16 in at the shoulder and 23 in at the sleeve on comparable routes, M is the numeric match. If you need extra room over a thicker shirt, compare L instead; the longer shoulder and sleeve may change where the sleeve bands meet your coat cuffs. The example is a way to read the chart, not a fit guarantee.
Check the sleeve bands and neckline with your outfit
Put on your reference sweater with the coat you actually wear. Note whether the coat sleeve hides, partly shows or fully shows the contrasting bands. Then check where your shirt collar sits under a round neck. In the gallery the cable texture is most visible on the front; an open coat exposes it, while a closed coat makes the sleeve bands the stronger detail. This simple outfit test helps you decide whether the Navy or White base works better with your outerwear. Exact shades can vary by screen and lighting, so compare the current photos rather than assuming a precise color match.
The source describes the material as 100% acrylic and says to hand wash cold and avoid tumble drying. It also labels the knit as moderately stretchy, but no stretch measurement or laundering test is provided. Follow the listed care instruction if you buy it, and request a flat garment chart if shoulder placement or layering room is critical. Review the current White and Navy images and S–XL options before making the final choice.
