1970s | Hand-Knitted | Wool Cardigan | Grey - S

Description:

Item: Hand-knitted wool cardigan from the 1970s, worked in a thick marled grey yarn with subtle tonal variation throughout. Features a chunky shawl collar, button-front closure with oversized buttons, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a relaxed, insulating silhouette. Dense knit with real weight, sitting closer to outerwear than lightweight knitwear.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Unbranded / Hand-knitted

Condition: Well-worn vintage condition with natural softening and gentle surface texture from age and use. Knit remains structurally sound with no significant flaws. Wear adds depth and character and is exactly what gives the piece its appeal.

Provenance Note: This is a true hand-knit from a period when garments were made slowly and worn hard. The irregular texture, heavy handle, and softened finish come from hours of handwork and years of use rather than factory uniformity. Pieces like this were everyday layers, valued for warmth and longevity, which is why surviving examples with their lived-in character intact feel so honest. The appeal lies in that human touch, a cardigan shaped by time, use, and craft rather than trend.

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.
