Absolutely crazy perfect vintage sweater by "Scott Adie Ltd., London Tailors to the Royal Family." This sweater is kind of amazing, and from some research I just did I think it may actually be pretty rare as well (all the search results were very specific, like, English sites for aficionados of fine gentlemen's clothing from the 1920s and 30s).
This sweater, while originally made for a man, has an amazing fit
that I would liken to a modern women's size 4, with long, fitted sleeves
that come a bit over the hands, a v-neck, and a fitted body that hits
me just below the hipbones. Also, two functional pockets in the front
(no closures on them), who can beat that? This was sold to me as being
from the 1920s. I would say it hails from somewhere in the 1925-1935
area. Especially for something so old, it's very sturdy and in
absolutely unbelievable condition, with just a couple of very tiny
holes, one in the wrist of one sleeve, and two on the hem-- not
noticeable, one is pictured. It's wool, but I have amazingly sensitive
skin and it's not itchy or irritating in the least. Also, while warm,
it's not very thick-- it's pretty much perfect. The only problem is that
I've had it for about three years and very rarely wear it. Selling for
$125.00 including shipping (which is a serious steal), I really hope it
finds a good home here! Please email katiekentuckychambers@gmail.
