1970s | Unbranded | Leather Panel Knit Jumper - S

Description:

Item: 1970s knit jumper featuring a striking diamond-panelled leather front in warm brown and tan tones, set into a fine-gauge knitted body and sleeves. Deep V-neck with ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem. A bold hybrid construction combining soft knitwear with suede-style leather panels, typical of experimental 1970s design.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Unbranded

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, even wear consistent with age. Leather panels show gentle surface wear and softening, with no cracking or structural issues. Knit remains sound with no holes or thinning.

Provenance Note:
Leather-and-knit combinations like this are a hallmark of 1970s fashion, when makers pushed materials beyond traditional boundaries. Rather than decorative novelty, these pieces were designed as durable everyday garments, blending warmth, texture, and visual impact. The leather panels have aged naturally, developing a softer handle and tonal variation that can only come from decades of wear. It’s a strong period piece that reflects the confidence and material experimentation of the era, and one that simply wouldn’t be made in the same way today.

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.
