This is a stunning, vintage Jumper - by OLD TOWN KNITWEAR, Edinburgh, (Scotland).
100% New Pure Wool. Please note - there isn't a 'care label' inside, (confirming the fabric/materials used), but this is definitely 100% New Pure Wool.
*Very good used, vintage condition overall - there has been the occasional, minor repair made, over the years, but nothing that really stands out and distorts the overall look and finish of this garment. It is not in any way perfect in condition.*
Age - Circa 1980's/40 years old.
Colour: RASPBERRY PINK. This is complimented and contrasted with subtle flecks of multicolours throughout.
One Size, (no size details on the inside label) - but please check against the measurements below, to ensure fit, as vintage clothing tends to be slightly smaller vs. more modern day sizes. It is more of an XL / 2XL size:
Measurements (laid flat & measured outside):
Armpit to armpit (un-stretched): 26 inches
Total Length (from top of shoulder to the hem): 28 inches
Armpit to cuff: 19 inches
Width of hem (un-stretched): 24.5 inches.
A beautiful, heavy-duty, vintage jumper made from premium quality, 100% wool. A high-density, chunky, cable knit garment, and all the quality you would expect from OLD TOWN KNITWEAR.
Other features of the jumper include:
- The overall colour is best described as a beautiful and striking "RASPBERRY PINK"
- PINK is considered to be a 'warm-palette' colour

- The long sleeves have a wide opening, (from the shoulders - 9 inches), and are slightly tapered in shape
- Ribbed finish to the cuffs, hem and the neckline
- High and rounded neckline
- Made from heavy-duty, excellent quality, high density Wool
- The weighted Wool means that the jumper hangs beautifully and really sustains it's shape when wearing
- Definitely qualifies as being 'cosy knitwear' & great for keeping warm during the more colder months of the year
- Full of character, Scottish heritage, nostalgia and charm
- Bright and colourful; very retro and typical of the 1980's
- A beautiful garment, which are becoming more and more rare to come by, as time goes on

- This is a truly luxury garment and it really offers the wow factor.
A truly stunning quality jumper, which is perfect for many casual occasions, and/or, more general, weekend use alike; easy to dress up, or dress down, depending on the desired look you are seeking. It has a multitude of uses and is a great wardrobe staple/winter warmer. Mix and match with other vintage garments, or more modern pieces alike, to create your very own unique, yet glam look/s. This jumper has been made to last for many more decades to come.
Very good, used condition and all of the quality you would expect from OLD TOWN KNITWEAR - especially considering it is around 40 years old. OLD TOWN KNITWEAR were renowned for their excellent quality merchandise, and this thick, chunky knit jumper, is a great example of that. Anyone who was/is familiar with this very high-end/premium, Scottish brand, will know just how good the quality is. Only selling as I have too many jumpers in my collection now. It is not in pristine condition but being sold in very good, used condition.
