Condition: Excellent vintage condition — clean and well preserved.
Provenance Note: Label reads “Jersey” and “Wolle Kammgarn,” which translates from German as “combed wool yarn.” German sweaters of the 1960s were admired for their precise knitting and durable wool blends. The use of combed yarn gives the fabric a smoother, higher-quality finish. Pieces like this represent mid-century European knitwear traditions, often sold through specialty boutiques and international imports.
