1970s–80s | Hand-Knit Cowichan-Style Button Cardigan – Taupe/Cream Snowflake Bands - M

Description:

Item: Heavy wool cardigan with shawl collar and four wooden buttons. Bold snowflake/compass medallions with geometric banding in taupe/cream/brown; rib cuffs/hem and front hand pockets.

Era: 1970s–1980s

Brand: Hand-Knit (Canadian/Cowichan-style)

Condition: Clean, strong colour and shape with natural loft/pilling; the odd yarn nip only—no holes or structural issues. Buttons secure.

Provenance Note: A classic cottage-industry piece from the Cowichan-influenced tradition—thick plied wool, sculpted shawl collar and hand-worked graphics made for real winter. The wooden button front and snowflake panels give it that proper 70s mountain look, while the neutral palette makes it easy to wear now. A durable, characterful knit that brings authentic heritage appeal to a serious vintage rail.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
