A very rare late 1930s or 1940s cardigan jacket by 'Drumlanrig', made from jersey knit wool fabric in a houndstooth or shepherd check pattern in dark green & off white. It has a low V neck, slim sleeves with tapering seams on the forearms, & 2 welted lower pockets; the leading edges & pocket openings are trimmed with plain green knit, & the front fastens with 5 marbled green early plastic buttons. Jersey garments of this era are extremely hard to find.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
