Vintage 1950s Jantzen Women\'s Cropped Cardigan SweaterAuthentic 1950s VintageJantzenMade in USAWomen\'s Size 36Powder BlueShort Sleeve CardiganCropped FitPearlized ButtonsPointed Collar
Beautiful authentic 1950s Jantzen women\'s cardigan sweater in a soft powder-blue color with a classic fitted mid-century silhouette. This is a wonderful period piece with a cropped body, short sleeves, pointed collar, decorative button placket, and elegant pearlized buttons.
The sweater features seven luminous pearlized buttons down the front, a gently scalloped button edge, and wide ribbed knit detailing around the lower body. The sleeves are finished with ribbed cuffs, while the structured pointed collar gives the sweater a polished vintage sportswear look. At approximately 16 inches in length, the cropped proportions are especially characteristic of 1950s styling and pair naturally with the high-waisted skirts and trousers of the era.
The original Jantzen label remains attached at the interior neck and features the period cursive Jantzen script, classic diving-girl logo, numeric size 36 designation, and Made in U.S.A. marking. The label style and garment construction are consistent with 1950s Jantzen production. The label itself shows expected fraying and wear from age.
Measurements are approximately 17 inches pit to pit and 16 inches in length. Please compare these measurements with a similar garment that fits you well. Despite the vintage size 36 designation, this is a genuinely small and fitted sweater by modern sizing standards.
Good vintage preowned condition with noticeable storage-related fading and tonal variation to the blue fabric, particularly in areas of the sleeves and body. There are also a few small age-related marks visible in the detailed photographs. The knit remains structurally sound and attractive, with the collar, ribbing, button placket, and pearlized buttons presenting nicely. Please review all photographs carefully for the exact color variation, age wear, label condition, measurements, and overall condition. Photos show the exact sweater you will receive.
