1970s | Hand Knit | Cable Knit Wool Cardigan – Blue - XS/S

Description:

Item: Heavy hand-knitted wool cardigan with deep cable knit pattern, shawl-style collar and button front. Chunky gauge with proper weight, finished with ribbed cuffs and hem.

Era: 1970s. The bold cable work, relaxed cut and hand-finished construction are very typical of this period’s home and cottage-industry knits.

Brand: Unbranded hand knit. Likely made domestically rather than factory produced, which is part of the appeal.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Knit remains tight and even with no major pulls or damage. Light, even wear consistent with age, adding character rather than detracting. Buttons secure and structure holds well.

Provenance note: Hand-knit pieces like this sit outside fashion cycles entirely. They were made to last, not to chase trends, and the weight and texture here are exactly what modern machine knits struggle to replicate. A proper cold-weather cardigan with real presence.

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.
