1980s | Burberrys | Made In Scotland | Merino Wool Argyle Jumper | Red - XXL

Description:

Item: Original 1980s Burberrys jumper made in Scotland in fine merino wool. Bright red base with classic argyle patterning through the front in green, navy and white, finished with a deep V-neck and ribbed cuffs and hem. Soft, lightweight knit with a clean regular cut that sits easily on the body without feeling bulky.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Burberrys

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Knit presents well with strong colour and a clean, sharp pattern across the front. Light, honest wear consistent with age, but overall it remains a very smart and highly wearable piece.

Provenance Note: Burberrys knitwear from this period has a quiet confidence to it, and the Scottish-made examples always feel that bit better. The argyle front gives this one the right amount of presence, while the fine merino keeps it refined rather than heavy. An easy piece to wear, but with enough pedigree and colour to lift it above an ordinary vintage knit.

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, bulk, or layering.
