Vintage 1960s Cardigan Sweater w Shawl Collar Men’s Size M
This is a vintage 1960s cardigan sweater made by Jaydee Superior Value by Knitters Ltd., a Canadian knitwear manufacturer based in Marieville, Quebec. The cardigan is knit in a navy blue base with an argyle-inspired pattern in shades of red, blue, and white. It features a shawl collar, button-front closure, two front pockets, and ribbed cuffs and waistband. The yarn appears to be an acrylic or wool-blend—a common choice for knitwear of the era.
