Here's a fun bit of apparel, which my significant other just received as a birthday present from his parents. It belonged to his grandfather, so that gives you an idea of the vintage.
It's a scarf... no, wait, it's a dicky-form cardigan:
It's a Scardigan!
I love the little pockets and the buttons.
And the cute fringe at the bottom. Although the fringe makes it look a lot more like a scarf and less like a cardigan.
Nosing around the interweb, I see that some Scardigans look more like cable-knit sweaters. Perfect for the man whose abdomen gets cold when he's wearing a sport jacket that's too small to allow a full sweater underneath.
I've never heard of the scardigan. But now that I have -- it seems strangely compelling. It's always to be worn with a jacket, yes?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the impression I got as well. It's a jaunty look!
