I wear cardigans because I look classy and cultured.

Its definitely a cultured garment as it's associated with college culture from the Roaring Twenties.

That's cool, do you know when they were first made?
1_Wizard
I'm unsure of its earliest origins, but the earliest popularized date of the shirt I'm aware of is from the 1930s.  I'm sure it's been around for longer.

Interesting, what are they usually made of?

the cardigan is a knitted sweater, made of wool among other fabrics.

What are some other types of knitted sweaters?

Well you might be fascinated to know that Britisch officers had knitted waist coasts.  I'm unsure about other sweaters though.
