Description:

Item: 1970s V-neck knit jumper in a bright red poly-acrylic yarn, finished with contrast navy and white tipping to the neckline and a horizontal chest stripe. Ribbed knit construction with ribbed cuffs and hem, and an embroidered crest motif to the chest giving a subtle sporting or schoolwear feel.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Unbranded

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:
Poly-acrylic knitwear from the 1970s was produced very differently to modern synthetics. During this period, acrylic blends were engineered to mimic the warmth and resilience of wool while offering durability, colour retention, and resistance to stretching. These garments were intended for repeated wear and everyday use, which is why original examples survive decades later in such solid condition. The slightly softened handle and stable structure are exactly what collectors look for in genuine 70s poly-acrylic knits, making this a strong, wearable period piece rather than a modern imitation.

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.
