Help ID'ing Cardigan

Jeff Lynne · August 2015

Please forgive me if I'm breaking any post guidelines, it's my first one. Mods please advise what to change if need be.

I've been trying to ID a cardigan off and on for the past year, worn by DC in these photos: http://www.justjared.com/2014/04/03/daniel-craig-will-be-defending-gabriel-basso-in-whole-truth/

And more recently: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2967350/Daniel-Craig-sports-casual-ensemble-grey-flat-cap-jets-Italy-filming-Spectre-scenes-Rome.html

Couldn't find anything available from Lanvin, TF, Brunello Cucinelli, Prada, or John Smedley (thought I had a lead). If anyone knows or has any leads, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't think it's ever been positively identified, but he started wearing it around the time he was adopting a lot of items from his role as Mikael Blomkvist in Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. In that film he wore cardigans by Maison Martin Margiela (they're not cheap...) as well as some other brands that haven't been definitively ID'd, but I personally feel are probably Save Khaki and Scotch & Soda. It's one of my favourite films and I've bought many items from the wardrobe so I feel like I almost know a thing or two about it.

Your best bet is to find a normal shawl collar cardigan in the same colour. They can be hard to find these days because every designer can't seem to resist adding some stupid twist to the original concept. But searching 'shawl cardigan' on ebay, there are some decent ones to be had over there.

JMac is on the ball it is from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and it is from Prada, have been trying to find this myself for YEARS to no avail so if you track one down let me know, I think they bring out variations every now and again.

Here is some info: http://www.yoox.com/us/39217915/item?tp=24509

Thanks for the info sruzgar, I didn't know it was Prada but that makes sense.

OP, here's a reasonably similar cardigan I found on ebay, of decent quality:

Thanks for all the info, guys. I made a revelation immediately after posting. It's Prada. Probably the same one worn in this photo shoot from a few years ago: http://imageshack.com/i/nr46091368p (sorry if I'm doing that wrong!)

Same button count/stance and ribbing. Color is a little off, but could be from lighting. Looks to be a little larger too, but he may have just been really thin during the shoot compared to now. Anyways, I've reached out to Prada who said they'd look into it. Hoping I get something positive from them.
