Then factories started making these brushed acrylic sweaters designed to look like mohair, but at a fraction of the cost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eThey were an instant hit with parents, especially those with multiple children, as these sweaters looked trendy but were much cheaper. They weren't nearly as warm, but the parents weren't wearing them, so they weren't concerned.  Plus, mothers loved these sweaters because they could just toss them in the washing machine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eKids liked them because they weren't as thick and bulky as wool sweaters and thus fit better under a jacket. Plus, being acrylic, they didn't itch like mohair nor wool and could be worn over just a T-shirt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eThis would fit a men's size small (38\") rather well, up to about 40\" which would be more of a snug fit. Val, who's modeling this sweater, is a size 38. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly this one is available in this style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scott's Sweaters","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ Grey\/White \/ Acrylic","offer_id":49748870299926,"sku":"610-061","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/5011\/8678\/files\/610-061g.jpg?v=1773965920","url":"https:\/\/scottssweaters.com\/products\/mens-retro-zipper-front-faux-mohair-cardigan","provider":"Scott's Sweaters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
