You have really put a lot of thought into this..

I think on some men it looks real stylish and snazzy. But I watched a show last week, think it was on ESPN, and they were making fun of men who wear cardigans and sweater vests as apparently its coming back into style. So I guess maybe guys shouldn't wear them because other guys will make fun of them.

Finally someone who is aware of this in a modern context, not that there is anything wrong with the examples of yesteryear including the endearing one left behind by Mr. Rogers but that is not what I was talking about.

I also would not suggest anyone take fashion advice from sports commentators on ESPN.

Default Excellent option for men - Yes

I think cardigans should be a staple in every man's wardrobe. They are practical and a great alternative to a pullover sweater, sweat shirt, or jacket. They look great depending on how they are worn and who is doing the wearing.

Whether one looks like an old man or not, depends on the man, not the cardigan.

I don't know. I can't picture the shawl collar type on a younger man. I went looking, and, well ...

Polo Ralph Lauren - Shawl-Collar Cardigan - Saks.com

Nice pants, man.

So I am guessing if your husband was David Beckham then there would be no teasing? Or would there be more?
