Scardigan!

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 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.
