Authentic vintage geometric knit sweater vest in navy blue acrylic with rows of red, mustard, and brown square motifs and a wide ribbed waistband ? And what you?ll love about this vest is the richly textured marled knit ground, where navy and white stitches create depth beneath the bold geometric blocks, along with the thick ribbed waistband that gives the vest that classic vintage sporting silhouette reminiscent of early knit athleticwear. Note: Mockups are suggested wears, not the actual vest. Condition: Very good vintage condition. Knit remains strong with bright color and good structure. One small repair on the interior back that does not show when worn. Tag missing. Overall presents very well. Fit Snapshot: Sleeveless knit vest with classic straight silhouette and wide ribbed waistband that creates a slightly bloused fit at the hem. Provenance Note: While untagged, the knit structure and acrylic yarn suggest a 1970s mod revival sweater vest, when geometric patterns and bold color blocking returned to fashion. The wide waistband and dense knit echo earlier 1920s?30s sweater vest silhouettes, which is why pieces like this often pass visually for earlier sporting knitwear.
