The miracle fabric called Orlon – machine washable and dry-able at home! Oh, my . . . . . .
Back when sweaters had to be dry-cleaned or hand-washed, this was a revelation for homemakers and a big time-saver. However, I must say that even today they still haven’t gotten it just right – pilling remains an issue. So, I don’t mind treating my vintage acrylics with special care.
This one is so “from that time” and it’s always fun to find a guy’s clothing item. But, even though it’s a LARGE size, looks more like something for a medium-sized woman now. Maybe it will even fit me under the right styling conditions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
