Embroidered on the front, the back and down both sleeves, in emerald thread on black or white.
Highlights
✓Three stitched panels — front, back and sleeves, all worked at 100% embroidery.
✓Emerald thread on a Black or White cotton blend, so the same kirin reads jewel-toned on black and considerably brighter on white.
✓Pill-resistant fabric at high stitch density — which earns its keep here, given how much thread is on it.
✓Medium weight with a soft heat-trapping inner layer.
✓Machine wash cold on gentle, tumble dry low, low iron if needed — cold and gentle is what keeps stitching on a moving sleeve panel from pulling.
✓Regular true-to-size USA fit — S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL.
Sleeve embroidery is the detail to plan around. The sleeve is the part of a sweater that bends, rubs along a desk and gets dragged through a coat, so the wash instructions matter more on this one than on a plain crewneck: cold water, gentle cycle, low dryer.
The kirin is a chimera out of Japanese and Chinese myth, and Niepce carries it across its range — the black-only version is the Embroidered Kirin crewneck. Both sit in sweaters and the men’s department.
