Product Description

Made from a luxuriously thick and warm Scottish 100% Shetland Wool that'll keep you superbly insulated against the cold, this beautiful 1980s pullover from vintage Scottish knitwear brand TOPS of Scotland, still in it's original packaging, is made to a premium specification - with fully fashioned sleeves (meaning that the sleeves and the torso form one continuous knitted piece and are not separate panels that are cut and sewn together) one of the premium hallmarks of a quality garment.

Available in 4 colours, the striking design of this item is comparable to designs  of the 'Wolsey' and 'Pringle' brands of Scottish knitwear - world renowned brands hugely popular at the time. A classic look that has stood the test of time - these designs are simply not made any longer in the current knitwear industry and as such they are highly sought after today - although normally only available on the second hand market until now. 

All our garments from the 1970s and 1980s are 100% brand new with original packaging and original tags, having been held being perfectly preserved in storage for over 30 years. So whether it's as a collector's item, or a perfectly preserved piece of vintage Scottish knitwear, or whether you simply want a pullover that'll be a talking point for everyone who sees it - this jumper would be an ideal gift to yourself. Or your Dad!

RECOMMENDATION:
Shetland wool can be a little scratchy if worn directly against your skin as shown here, so it's recommended that you wear something like a t-shirt underneath it.

SIZING NOTE:
These jumpers are slim fit, as was the fashion in the 70s, so you might find that they are tighter than usual compared to other jumpers in your size. Most people prefer the slim fit look, but if you would prefer a more 'comfort fit' then please choose one size larger than your usual size. If you would prefer a 'loose fit' look, then we recommend you choose two sizes larger.

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.

'To Fit' Measurements & Dimensions


SIZING NOTE:
These jumpers are slim fit, as was the fashion in the 70s, so you might find that they are tighter than usual compared to other jumpers in your size. Most people prefer the slim fit look, but if you would prefer a more 'comfort fit' then please choose one size larger than your usual size. If you would prefer a 'loose fit' look, then we recommend you choose two sizes larger.


Please see the measurement charts below. (ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE IN INCHES)

"TO FIT" CHEST

Size as marked on garment
S M L XL
Loosely fits chest size of: 34" 36" 38" 40"
Comfortably fits chest size of: 35" 37" 40" 42"
Easily fits chest size of: 36" 38" 40" 42"

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)
