1970s | Shetland | Red V-Neck Shetland Knit Jumper - S

Description:

Item: 1970s V-neck Shetland knit jumper in a bold red wool, featuring a fine, even knit with ribbed neckline, cuffs, and hem. Soft but resilient handle typical of traditional Shetland yarns, designed for warmth without bulk and everyday wear.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Shetland

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, even wear consistent with age. Some gentle softening to the knit from use, with no holes, thinning, or structural issues. Colour remains strong.

Provenance Note:
Shetland knitwear from this period was produced with longevity in mind, using hardy wool spun to balance warmth, breathability, and durability. These jumpers were everyday staples rather than special-occasion pieces, worn repeatedly and expected to last. The slightly softened handle and clean structure here are exactly what you want to see in a genuine 1970s Shetland knit — honest wear that adds character while retaining the integrity of the garment.

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.
