I received the Type 3.
NEEDLES mohair cardigans have arrived. Three styles have arrived for the Fall/Winter 2026 collection: MOHAIR CREW NECK CARDIGAN SOLID (BLACK and BLUE GREY) in two colors, and MOHAIR CARDIGAN STRIPE BLUE/GREEN, for a total of three styles. Every year around this time, when these cardigans arrive, I am once again drawn to their unique presence.

— What is mohair? The power of this material
Mohair is a natural fiber obtained from the hair of Angora goats. Its characteristics include long fibers and a luster comparable to silk. It is lightweight yet highly insulating and has an extremely soft feel against the skin.
The material of NEEDLES' mohair cardigan is a blend of 55% mohair, 30% nylon, and 15% wool. It is an exquisite blend that primarily utilizes the luster and texture of mohair, while the nylon reinforces durability and shape retention, and the wool adds warmth and weight. The rich fluffiness characteristic of mohair creates a unique sheen when exposed to light, giving it a presence that you can feel just by wearing it.
— I. MOHAIR CREW NECK CARDIGAN SOLID — BLACK
A crew neck mohair cardigan in black. This minimalist, plain piece allows the rich texture and feel of mohair to shine through. The clean crew neck makes it easy to wear with any inner layer, pairing naturally with shirts, t-shirts, or turtlenecks.
This black mohair cardigan is one of the most versatile pieces in the NEEDLES lineup, suitable for all seasons. It can be worn as a main piece in autumn and winter, or as a light layer in early spring, making it a long-lasting addition to your wardrobe.

— II. MOHAIR CREW NECK CARDIGAN SOLID — BLUE GRAY
This is the same style in BLUE GREY. The bluish-gray, intertwined with the fluffiness of the mohair, creates a nuanced hue that is neither simply gray nor simply blue. Depending on how the light hits it, the color can appear bluer or more subdued gray, giving the impression that the color is shifting within a single garment.
When placed next to BLACK, BLUE GREY is brighter and adds a touch of light to your outfit. It blends naturally into monochromatic outfits with denim or navy, as well as contrasting outfits with brown or olive bottoms.

— III. MOHAIR CARDIGAN STRIPE — BLUE / GREEN
Of the three styles, this striped one is the most eye-catching. It's a V-neck mohair cardigan with a striking color scheme based on blue and green. Unlike a crew neck, the V-neck design makes it ideal for layering, allowing you to beautifully showcase your innerwear.
This blue and green stripe pattern will be the centerpiece of your outfit. While it pairs well with plain tops and simple bottoms, the fluffy texture of the mohair softens the edges of the stripes, creating a look that's not too flashy but still distinctly unique. This piece embodies the rich color palette characteristic of NEEDLES this season.

— About dressing
CREW NECK CARDIGAN (BLACK / BLUE GREY) × Slacks/Chinos × Shirt Inner
This style involves layering a crew-neck mohair cardigan over a shirt or turtleneck. The rich fluffiness of the mohair gives the cardigan a strong presence, while the layering, with the shirt peeking out slightly from the neckline, creates an elegant look. When paired with slacks or NEAT CHINO pants, the lightness of the cardigan and the formality of the dress pants are brought together in a well-balanced way.
STRIPE CARDIGAN (BLUE/GREEN) × Wide Denim Cargo Pants × T-shirt
To make the most of the striking striped cardigan, keep the inner layer simple with just a white T-shirt. Pairing it with voluminous bottoms like wide-leg jeans or NEEDLES track pants will create an interesting overall silhouette. The white T-shirt peeking out from the V-neck is also a key point.
Mohair cardigan × coat (under the outer layer)
Because mohair cardigans are lightweight, they are also suitable for layering under coats and leather jackets. The mohair fibers sway softly with the movement of the outerwear, adding a soft touch to the overall look. Combining it with a HERILL lambskin leather jacket is one of ARZACH's classic styling options.
Women's styling — XS is a perfect fit, S is an oversized silhouette.
The XS size is a perfect fit for women as well, suitable for those approximately 155-165cm tall. Choosing an S or M size for a more relaxed, menswear-inspired look works thanks to the lightweight mohair. The striped BLUE/GREEN version looks particularly unique and vibrant when paired with wide-leg pants or a skirt.
