Loading... Please wait...These retro Fair Isle cardigans from the late 1970's come in a variety of shades, and as is typical of ladies vintage knitwear from this era there are some very bright colours to choose from.
They have a bold but intricate retro fair isle patterned band across the torso and arm, and with a long rib on the cuffs and bottom border, this is retro fashion which still retains a fresh and very contemporary feel.
Please bear in mind that these cardigans come in sizes 32" and 34" chest and so are quite slim fitting. But as it's made from a stretchy 100% acrylic knit, it will stretch, but it is best recommended for slim and petite figures.
Available in very limited numbers (in fact we only have one piece in the acid red colour), these are very rare, but they're ALL BRAND NEW from the late 1970s and early 80s - and still in their original packaging and with original tags.
This item was worn by Anita Rani on the BBC 1's 'The One Show'. See this on YouTube here.

SIZING NOTE:
As was the fashion in the 70s, they are slim made, and although they are designed to stretch quite considerably, you may find that the sizing lends itself more to petite figures.
PRICING NOTE:
We do not have many of this item in stock. And because of the way we grade our stock, (the less we have of an item, the more rare they are which affects the price) each colour/size combination has its own price to reflect it's rarity and exclusivity. The price generally won't vary by much, but occasionally we only have one or two pieces of a particular colour/size, so they become a lot more valuable. And once these vintage pieces are gone, they're gone forever.
PACKAGING NOTE: Although 99% of our garments come with any original packaging and tags etc that they may have had when they were manufactured, there is a small chance that some individual items may be missing these packaging elements. Although this won't affect the wearability of the garment, we feel we should still state the possibility of this however remote it may be. In saying that, this is unlikely to happen in the first case, as so far we've only seen items with their original packaging and tags!
WASHING NOTE:
Please remember that although all Retro-Guy clothing is brand new, the garments have all been held in storage for quite some time - up to 40 years in some cases. Therefore we recommend that you consider washing them before wearing them. Please check the garment thoroughly and satisy yourself whether or not you wish to do this. Just to be on the safe side.
COLOUR NOTE:
Please note that due to the photographic and computer screen variations, the colour of the product as seen on your computer screen may not be the precise colour of the actual product and slight differences should be expected.

You can use the garment dimensions below to compare with a similar garment that you already own to give you some idea as to how this garment will fit you.
Please see to the last image in the product gallery to see what each measurement refers to.
The garment dimensions below are of the actual garment from one side to the other when laid flat on a table. As this only shows upper face of the garment, some measurements (as marked with an asterisk *) will need to be doubled if you wish to know the circumference (ie 360º right around the front and back of the garment).
The chest sizes below have already been doubled to reflect the full circumference of the chest.
Therefore, for example, for a chest size of 32" means that the garment actually only measures 16" from one side to the other when laid flat on a table.
Any figures in brackets show the measurement when stretched. For example, "18 (22)" means 18 inches unstretched and 22 inches stretched
Any sizes without measurements will be added as soon as possible. (Sorry for the wait)
