The ‘Old Fashioned Garments’ roll neck jumper is a vintage reproduction faithfully adapted from an original late 1930s pattern; the pattern is unusual in that the jumper is made with identical front & back pieces so that it can be worn both ways to ensure even wear.
Each garment is individually hand made in our Norfolk workroom by Rosie on a manually operated knitting machine (sometimes referred to as ‘hand frame knitting’) using British wool 4-ply yarns which have been carefully chosen for their traditional appearance; many of them are discontinued or new old stock shades. The particular item in the photographs is the garment you will receive, this is the only one, it is only available in the colour & size combination shown - thus each one is unique, there is no factory mass production here!
This one is made from a medium weight pure Shetland wool in a delightful myrtle green melange - on my screen the close up of the collar is most accurate.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
NB Accessories not included - shown with a Burtons Harris Tweed plus fours suit which is also available on the website.
