1970s | Pendleton | Virgin Wool Half Zip Jumper | Forest Green – M

Description:

Item: Heavy virgin wool half-zip jumper in a deep forest green, knitted in a dense, textured weave with ribbed collar, cuffs and hem. Features a short metal zip at the neck for adjustable layering and warmth, with a substantial handle and structured feel typical of Pendleton’s 1970s knitwear. Built as practical outdoor clothing rather than lightweight fashion knit, giving it real presence and durability.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Pendleton

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Wool remains thick, springy and warm with no thinning or structural issues. Light natural softening from age only, with the knit holding its shape and texture beautifully.

Provenance Note:
This is classic Pendleton from the period when their knitwear was made for real use, not seasonal turnover. These were designed to be worn outdoors, layered hard and relied upon for warmth, which is why they carry such authority today. The density of the wool and the simple, functional design speak to a time when garments were built to last decades rather than trends. It’s a piece that feels honest in its construction, quietly confident, and rooted in utility rather than styling, exactly what makes original Pendleton so desirable now.

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.
