Cardigan

Corgi breed's origin

A cardigan is a knitted sweater that opens at the front, typically fastened with buttons or a zipper.

Unlike pullovers, cardigans can be worn open or closed, making them versatile layering pieces: She threw on a cardigan over her dress.

The word comes from the Earl of Cardigan, a British military commander.
