ANOTHER THRILLING FIND! 1950’S 1960’S MEN’S CARDIGAN SWEATER

img_3953.jpg

I’m always so happy to find one of these in almost perfect condition!  So different from the others I’ve just shown.  The front metal zip is unusual, rather than buttons, and the (probably) acrylic fiber is a plus over wool because of the ease of storage and care.  I DO love old wool sweaters, however.

This example was made in Hong Kong (always pointing to quality construction and workmanship, at least in true vintage garments) and has the classic styling of patch pockets and striped trim.  The zipper is as sturdy as they come.

A wonderful and infrequent discovery.  My favorites!

1960’S CLASSIC MEN’S CARDIGAN FROM SCOTLAND

1960’S CLASSIC MEN’S CARDIGAN FROM SCOTLAND

Here’s the other suede-trimmed sweater I mentioned a few days ago.  Traditional design and construction in this handsome, high-quality cardigan have let it last for 50+ years with very little sign of wear.  Nice, soft virgin wool and buttery suede, plus knotted leather buttons made this a favorite, iconic style for decades.

I’m always so glad to find garments like this one in such wonderful condition.  Big for me, but I know someone who might find it to be just the thing .. . . . . . . . . . . . .

I’m over-the-moon with this one!!  Last year I found a wonderful sweater made like this, with soft, fine suede – but this one is a full jacket WITH A ZIP-OUT PILE LINING! – and braided leather buttons.  Just LOVE the quality and style of jackets made between 1940 and 1960.  What a fabulous mid-century vibe.

It was another magic moment for the Magicvintagespy because this coat is in virtually perfect condition.  Just like stepping into a Happy Days episode or going Back to the Future. What fun!  More to come . . . . . . . stay tuned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A TRUE VINTAGE HEAVY KNIT 1950’S – EARLY 1960’S AUTUMN SWEATER-JACKET

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, EVERYONE!

Today’s post is my last one in the current series. Too much going on recently to do any investigating. But, you know that when I do make “new” discoveries, you’ll be the first to see them.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend. I will be taking moments to be grateful for our system of Democracy and all of the benefits that it brings to our lives. It’s a work in progress and quite flawed in some ways, but gives us a way forward. This time is vibrant and full of hope as many things at home and around the world are transforming. It will never be perfect, but it will be always be better and better as long as we all hold that outcome in our hearts and imaginations while acting to make the dreams a reality.

Have fun and enjoy watching some fabulous fireworks!
