Estimated 1960s, French manufacture. A full-zip wool cardigan.
A rare deadstock arrival, complete with its original flasher tag.
Knitwear seldom passes through our doors, and vintage knits of this era and origin are increasingly scarce in the market.
A driver's knit in full-zip cardigan form is rarely encountered. The full-zip cardigan has long held appeal amongst contemporary labels, and there are surely many seeking such a piece.
Constructed in a mixed wool of distinct character—navy as its foundation, interwoven with black-toned yarns.
Rather than pure wool, it is a blend with synthetics such as acrylic, which makes it less prone to itching than pure wool. Those sensitive to wool may find it more approachable.
Versatile as a layer in autumn, or as an inner layer beneath a coat in winter.
Zipped to the collar, it functions almost like a turtleneck, providing adequate warmth for the colder months.
The sizing runs small. Those of slighter build should find it without issue.
It translates well when worn by women as well.
Deadstock condition. Exemplary. Recommended for those seeking a pristine piece.
A staple for autumn and winter. Should you be searching, this may be the moment.
