Description :

A classic piece of mid-century athletic heritage, this maroon knit wool letterman sweater features wood buttons and embroidered patches: a bold ‘G’ and ‘59’ marking the year of achievement. Made by Kandel Knitting Mills, a Portland, Oregon-based manufacturer known for collegiate and varsity apparel in the 1950s and 60s. Measures 25" long and 19" wide, approximately a men’s medium. The original owner’s name is stitched just beneath the maker’s tag, adding a personal touch to this storied garment. A standout for vintage sportswear collectors or anyone drawn to Americana nostalgia.
