1990s | Pendleton | Virgin Wool Knit Cardigan | Black & Red – 16

Description:

Vintage knit cardigan by Pendleton constructed in rich black virgin wool with striking red trim detailing along the neckline, placket, cuffs and hem. The piece features gold-tone button closures and two front pockets finished with decorative red and black tassel accents. The silhouette sits neatly through the body with a slightly boxy cut typical of 1990s knitwear, while the clean round neckline and bold colour contrast give the piece a distinctive yet classic look.

Era:
1990s

Brand:
Pendleton

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with clean wool knit structure and strong colour contrast in the red trim. Light signs of wear consistent with age.

Provenance Note:
Pendleton’s American-made knitwear has long been prized for its quality wool and durable construction. During the 1990s the brand produced a range of refined knit cardigans that blended classic tailoring with subtle decorative details. The virgin wool construction and striking red trim make this a particularly strong example of Pendleton’s later vintage knitwear, combining warmth, craftsmanship and timeless styling

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 the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
