1970s | Lespoir | Cricket Jumper | Cream With Red And Navy Stripe Trim – S

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s cricket-style jumper by Lespoir, finished in a clean cream ground with classic red and navy stripe detailing at the V-neck, cuffs and hem. Traditional sports knit silhouette with ribbed collar and waistband. Boxy cut with a straight, slightly cropped body that sits neatly on the waist, very much in keeping with period cricket and leisure knitwear. Fabric is acrylic, typical of 1970s sports knits and chosen for durability, colour retention and ease of wear.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Lespoir

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Knit remains well-shaped with strong colour throughout. Light, honest signs of wear consistent with age, adding character rather than detracting. No holes, repairs or structural issues noted.

Provenance Note:
1970s cricket jumpers capture a moment when traditional sporting silhouettes met modern materials and everyday wearability. The bold striping and boxy proportions give this piece a strong period identity, while the acrylic construction reflects the era’s move toward durable, low-maintenance performance fabrics. A clean, wearable archive knit that bridges classic cricket heritage and relaxed vintage styling with ease.

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, and bulk.
