Brand Poppy's Vintage Clothing

This is a 1980s mens pullover sweater with an Aviator theme made by Gitano. This 1980s mens pullover is knit in a red and white acrylic with a front with five sewn-on stars, a central patch of a pilot surrounded by wings and sewn-on letters that spell Aviator.  This 1980s mens pullover is made with a crew neckline and with dropped shoulders and long sleeves. 

Label: Gitano Knits.  Gitano was founded in 1971 and made its name as a manufacturer and distributor of jeans, eventually owning the Gloria Vanderbilt brand.  Gitano introduced menswear in 1987 and declared bankruptcy in 1994, so this sweater dates to the late 80s or very early 90s.

Content label:  100% Acrylic Made in Korea
