ETYMOLOGYHOW TO WEAR IT/ FIT & SIZEThe tank top was born in 1912 with the introduction of women's swimming in the Olympic games which were held in Stockholm at the time. Nowadays this activity takes place in a “swimming pool” however back then, it was known as a "swimming tank.” Female swimmers wore outfits then referred to as “tank suits,” in other words, a suit which was worn in the tank! The straps kept the suit up whilst giving female swimmers the freedom and ease of movement needed in order to compete. The tank top made the jump from intimate to desirable apparel when it found itself on the silver screen, first worn by Marlon Brando, who embodied the epitome of male virility, as Stanley Kowalski in “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 1951. It has since transitioned across too many subcultures and garnered much popularity.FormalBeata is 177 cm and wears a size II/III.FashionGet the Rebellious but extremely classy look, pair the Cardinal lurex tank top with the Henri Leopard Sequin Jacket as a dress.CasualFor the ultimate street style look and a twist of glam, wear the Cardinal tank top under the Iceman bomber jacket paird with the Costa Leggins:CRAFTSMANSHIPThe at ease ensemble when worn with the Fender Cotton Drop Crotch trousers, available now in Ivory, black and beige.ASSEMBLYOur knitwear makers ensure the creation of the Cardinal Tank Top by maintaining a balanced relationship between the quality of the Made in Italy, environmental sustainability and the making of details such as the refined hand finished neckline and sleeve.WHATS SPECIAL/FINISHINGThe development of this style begins with the construction of the parts ergonomically shaped to the body, and then assembled during a meticulous hand finishing process.FINISHINGThe knit stitch used to make the Tank Top is called rib stitch, a detail that enriches the knit making it soft and stretchy at the same timeFabric CompositionOur label is stitched in by hand in a japanese quilting technique for each garment to ensure its authenticity.SUSTAINABILITY80%VISCOSE 20%METALLIZED FIBRESOCIAL SUSTAINABILITYWe prevent waste by optimising the way we use materials with our handmade and knitting into shape approach, therefore minimising our environmental impact.ETHICAL SUSTAINABILITYWe work closely with a family run, artisanal factory in Comeana, Italy to ensure good work environments are in place and also guarantee the superior quality of our luxury product.ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYNo fur, leather or feathers have been used in the making of this product in line with our cruelty free policy.OMNISEXProduct IDThis garment is part of our Omnisex offering, available to all genders, learn more
