1960s | Knit Top | Brown - 10

Description:

Item: Original 1960s knit top in a rich brown tone with a high ribbed stand collar in contrasting mustard, button-tab neck fastening and two unusual front tab pocket details. Clean, minimal design with a neat straight cut through the body, giving it that sharp mod-era silhouette. This item is made from 100% Orlon as is in keeping with the fabrics of the time. 

Era: 1960s

Condition: Very good vintage condition with clean overall presentation and nice structure. Light, honest signs of age and wear consistent with a vintage knit, adding character without detracting from the look of the piece.

Provenance Note: This is a really strong example of the cleaner, more architectural side of 1960s knitwear. The colour combination is spot on, and the pared-back shape lets the unusual collar and tab details do the work. Pieces like this have a quiet confidence about them and wear beautifully now for anyone drawn to more understated vintage.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
