and most importantly, i put it on and it’s still my favorite 🩶 #cardigan #cardiganTaylorSwift #SwiftTok descriptive transcript: me, a white woman with red hair and green eyes, sitting on my bedroom floor comparing two taylor swift cardigans. i say, “how does the 2024 cardigan compare to the original cardigan? I've got them both here so let's take a look. just gonna open this up. this is the actual original cardigan, the first one ever sold, so it has the folklore album patch. and the new one actually reflects the second cardigan ever sold, which has the Taylor Swift patch. this was also the style that was sent to Taylor's friends at the time. first of all, they feel almost exactly the same. I honestly would say that this one is even softer than the original. the main thing I noticed right away is that there is a color difference between the two. I would say that this one [new cardigan] definitely looks a little bit more warm and this [old cardigan] is more cool toned. but as you can see, it's not a very big difference at all. another pretty big difference I guess is that the original cardigan does not have a tag, whereas the new one does. the stars look exactly the same and I would say their placement is pretty much identical. however, the sleeves of the new cardigan are sort of tapered at the wrist, whereas the old ones are not as much. the buttons and the lines look pretty much identical. the thing I'm sure most people are curious about: the sizing. they are pretty much the exact same size. these are both XS/SM. honestly, not a huge difference in these two compared to the original and some of the newer cardigans for other albums. if you missed out on one of the first two cardigans and you happened to get this in 2024, I would say it's a pretty much identical match. i know sometimes UMG merch can be very inconsistent so l'm glad to see that this seems to be an actual good re-release!” cardigan by taylor swift is playing in the background.
