Description:

Item: Original 1970s hand knitted wool cardigan in a rich cobalt blue tone with a boxy cut and a chunky, textured feel. Features a broad fold-over collar, full button front and vertical cable detailing through the body, giving it that warm, substantial handmade character older knitwear does so well. A strong everyday piece with plenty of depth and presence.

Era: 1970s

Condition: Good vintage condition with light, honest signs of age and wear. The knit presents well overall, with the sort of natural character that adds to the appeal and is exactly why people buy older hand knitted pieces.

Provenance Note: This is exactly the kind of 1970s knit that earns attention because it feels personal as well as wearable. The hand knitted construction gives it real warmth and character, while the strong blue tone and boxy shape make it easy to style with denim, cords or military trousers. A very appealing piece of old knitwear with the sort of honest, handmade quality that modern versions rarely match.

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 pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

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