Traditional button-front construction with ribbed cuffs and hem, twin front pockets, and bold athletic detailing throughout. A strong school sports piece with excellent visual balance and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"485\" data-end=\"496\"\u003eEra: 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"498\" data-end=\"553\"\u003eBrand: Varsity athletic knitwear (school-issued style).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"555\" data-end=\"817\"\u003eCondition: Very good vintage condition. Wool remains clean and structurally strong, with only light wear from age and use. All lettering and embroidery are intact and crisp. Honest, minimal signs of wear that enhance the authenticity rather than detract from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"819\" data-end=\"1427\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eProvenance Note:\u003cbr data-start=\"835\" data-end=\"838\"\u003eThis is a genuine school varsity cardigan, produced for team or athletic association use rather than fashion retail. The combination of felt lettering, personal name embroidery, and the large chain-stitched “Northside” back script places it firmly in the American scholastic sports tradition. Pieces like this were made to represent identity and pride, not trend cycles, and surviving examples with full decoration remain highly collectable. It carries the same appeal as classic letterman jackets, but in a rarer knitwear form that is increasingly difficult to source in strong condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize on garment: N\/A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur modern sizing estimate: S                                                                                                        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShoulder to shoulder: 18\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePit to pit: 20\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInner sleeve to cuff: 20\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnder collar to lower back: 26\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease be aware.
