A 1970’s icon, the Izod “alligator” golf cardigan sweater. Also in acrylic knit and in generally better taste than the souvenir sweater of yesterday.

However, ’70’s is what it is and will never occupy a big part of my true vintage closet. That said, these sweaters are favorites and the alligator logo makes them special.

I also have a v-neck style in turquoise. A bit preppy, but the “country club” look has been around for a while in varying forms. And. a great cardigan mixes in nicely with certain other vintage pieces.

I shouldn’t be a vintage snob. This is a super sweater and, as I’ve said, has its iconic status. Izod has been a quality maker and is a good brand to keep an eye open for when looking for 1970’s treasures.
