Listed as men's, but their sweaters are unisex. Features include a shawl type collar, two patch pockets on the front, and a heavy-duty metal YKK zipper.

~~~

Since vintage items have a past and a story, they may show wear from age and storage. I do my best to inspect all items for flaws, make repairs when possible, and disclose them to you.

All my items come from a non-smoking home and are sanitized and steamed before they arrive at your door. Once cleaned, they are kept in a clean and dry location. They should not have any strong odor unless otherwise mentioned.
