Authentic mid‑century men’s cardigan in a classic navy wool knit, dating to the late 1950s–early 1960s. Features a clean V‑neckline, recessed four‑hole plastic buttons, and two small front patch pockets — all consistent with mid‑century collegiate and leisurewear styles.
The knit is dense, soft, and structured, likely a wool or wool‑blend typical of the era. The silhouette is straight through the body with a fitted ribbed hem, giving it that unmistakable mid‑century profile.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition with one small pinhole at the back neckline, likely from a removed label. No other holes, odors, or structural issues. Clean and ready to wear.
