Fabulous Vintage Hand Knit Wool Zip Cardigan Elk Sweater Jacket.
This one reminds me of the old Cowichan Indian Sweaters. However
this wool is more refined.
</P>
<P>The color is mocha brown with a dark brown Elk on either side of
the front and the back. There is a green tree on either side also.
The green does not show up so well in the picture but it is pretty
bright. There is a green trim under where the Elk stand and a brown
trim just under the trees. The green makes for a pleasing contrast
to the mocha & dark brown.
</P>
<P>The sweater is fully lined. The zipper is metal. The collar is
oversized. The texture is very thick, heavy, smooth and soft. The
yarns are close together and are thick but refined. What I mean by
that is that they are not fuzzy or nubby or crude like you would see
in some of the imported sweaters.
</P>
<P>The condition is excellent and flawless. It looks as if it was
never worn. It most likely was made by a grandma or auntie who was
an expert knitter. Then it was probably given away to a relative
who put in a ceder chest and there it remained for a generation or
two. It is as fresh as it was when it was newly created. ( There
is a code marking in the inside neck of the lining that was put there
by the consignment store where I found this. It is small and faint
and certainly is not an issue especially when worn.)
</P>
<P>Here are the measurements:</P>
<P>47” Bust
</P>
<P>27” Length</P>
<P>24” ...
