Vintage Letterman Knit Cardigan
$95.00
A classic silhouette with just enough wear to tell a story.
This piece sits somewhere between a varsity cardigan and a workhorse layer—cut from a dense, open-knit cotton that holds structure while still feeling breathable. The saturated red body is grounded by a black shawl-style placket, cuffs, and trim, giving it that timeless collegiate contrast.
The oversized chenille “U” patch anchors the chest—bold, graphic, and unmistakably varsity—but the rest of the piece softens that statement. The texture does most of the talking: chunky knit, subtle irregularities, and small areas of distressing throughout that break up the uniformity. Nothing feels overdone—just naturally worn-in.
Fit-wise, it lands in that ideal zone: relaxed but intentional. Easy through the body, clean at the shoulders, with enough weight to wear as a light jacket. It layers effortlessly over a tee but has the presence to carry a look on its own.
There’s a quiet confidence to it. Familiar, but not basic.
Vintage condition with visible character—minor distressing and wear consistent with age, adding depth rather than taking away.
A staple with history, not just influence.
