A characterful vintage American circa 1930s/1940s cardigan sweater jacket, knitted from chunky wool yarn in navy blue colour, somewhat darker than it appears on my screen. It has a particularly generous shawl collar, deep ribbed cuffs, 2 pockets & fastens with leather 'football' buttons. No labels present.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
