1970s | Penguin | V-Neck Knit | Sky Blue – XS

Description:

Item:
1970s Penguin V-neck knit in soft sky blue with embroidered penguin chest logo. Classic pullover design with ribbed neckline, cuffs and hem. Straight 1970s cut with a gently boxy body and clean sleeve line, designed to sit neatly at the waist with a structured but easy drape. Label has been removed, but the embroidered logo confirms Penguin origin.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Penguin

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Colour remains fresh and even. Light, honest wear consistent with age. Embroidery intact and clean. Label removed as noted. No structural issues observed.

Provenance Note:
1970s Penguin knitwear carries that unmistakable sporty refinement the brand is known for. The crisp V-neck shape and subtle chest emblem give it immediate identity without overpowering the piece. In this soft sky tone, it feels both period-correct and highly wearable today. A strong archival staple that blends classic American sportswear heritage with easy everyday styling.

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.

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.
