A striped open-front hooded cardigan can be the visible outer layer or sit beneath a coat. Those two uses have different fit checks. The page offers Blue and Brown in S–XL and lists shoulder, bust, sleeve and length, but it does not measure the hood or the width of the front panels.

If the cardigan is your outer layer

Choose the shirt you intend to show in the opening. Lay an open cardigan you own over that shirt and look at where its fronts fall rather than assuming a published bust figure means the new cardigan will close. The MAXCT listing calls this item open front and documents no fastening. Its S–XL bust entries are 39, 41, 42 and 44 in; ask how that number was taken on an open garment. If coverage across the chest matters, request a front-on photo and a panel width for your chosen size.

If a coat goes over it

Start with shoulder clearance. The listed shoulder is 16 in for S and M, 17 in for L and 18 in for XL. Sleeves move from 23 to 25 in across the range. Compare those two measurements with a cardigan that already fits under your coat, then check whether the coat collar has room for the hood. The page gives no hood depth or thickness, so a side view or hood measurement is more useful than assuming it will lie flat.

Place the hem before selecting a color

Length is 27 in for S and M and 28 in for L and XL. Mark that point against your trousers or dress and the hem of the intended coat. If you prefer the stripe to appear below the coat, the coat and cardigan lengths must be compared on your own garments. The source specifies 100% acrylic, an unlined body and hand wash cold without tumble drying. Those facts do not establish warmth or coat compatibility; use the measurements and a photo of the selected color for the final decision.
