1970s | Pendleton | Cable Knit Button Front Sweater Vest | Dark Green - 16

Description:

Item:
Classic Pendleton cable knit sweater vest in deep dark green with a textured vertical knit pattern and button front closure. Traditional V-neck design with ribbed hem and arm openings. Cut in a relaxed, straight vintage fit typical of 1970s knitwear, giving it an easy slightly boxy drape that works well layered over shirts or light knits.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Pendleton – Made In USA

Condition:
Good vintage condition. Knit remains strong with rich colour retention. One small hole to the lower front left area as noted, along with light general wear consistent with age. The wear is minor and typical of vintage knitwear and does not affect overall structure.

Provenance Note:
Pendleton’s American-made knitwear from the 1970s has a quiet reputation for durability and classic styling. Pieces like this cable knit vest were designed as practical layering garments and remain just as useful today, pairing easily with shirts, denim or tailoring. The deep green tone and textured knit give it that understated heritage feel that sits naturally within a well-curated vintage wardrobe.

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 the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

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