1970s | European Sportswear | 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt | Blue / Black – S

Description:

Item: European 1/4 zip sweatshirt in soft sky blue with bold black chest and shoulder panel detailing. Features a ribbed funnel neck with short metal zip, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a relaxed, slightly cropped sportswear silhouette typical of the period. Constructed in a heavier knit with a structured feel, closer to early track and training tops than modern lightweight sweatshirts.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Unbranded / European sportswear

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, honest wear consistent with age. Minor signs of use as expected, with no structural issues and good overall colour retention.

Provenance note: A classic example of 1970s European training wear, produced during a period when athletic garments leaned towards bold colour blocking and practical construction. Pieces like this were designed for regular use rather than fashion cycles, which is why survivors with clean lines and strong colour contrast are increasingly hard to find. A versatile, characterful piece that sits firmly in its era.

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.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
