1970s | Damas | Acrylic Knit Top | Cream - 6

Description:

Item: Original 1970s Damas acrylic knit top in a soft cream tone with contrasting brown trim detail at the collar, cuffs and hem. Pullover style with a wide open collar and a straight, slightly boxy cut that gives it that clean, easy 1970s shape. As with good vintage acrylic, this is a durable, well-made knit from the period, very different in feel and intent from modern fast-fashion acrylics.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Damas

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Presents cleanly overall with light, honest wear consistent with age. Knit structure remains strong, with the contrast trim and collar shape still reading well.

Provenance Note: This is a very wearable kind of 1970s knit, understated at first glance but full of period detail once you look properly. The open collar and contrast trim give it a smart, slightly sporty feel, while the soft cream ground keeps it versatile. An easy piece to style, with enough era character to give an outfit real vintage presence.

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.
