Minnesota Knitts 50s Wool Cardigan Knit Made in USA

Features:
This is a wool cardigan from Minnesota Knitts.

The brand was developed by "MINNESOTA WOOLEN COMPANY DULUTH, MINNESOTA". Based on the tag design and material labeling, Minnesota Knitts products were mostly manufactured and distributed in the USA (Minnesota) from the 1940s to the 1960s.

Duluth, Minnesota, has companies with a long history, such as Duluth Pack, a canvas bag maker founded in 1882. This region was once a major hub for American manufacturing, especially the wool and textile industries.

Based on the tag features, this cardigan was likely manufactured between the early 1950s and the mid-1960s.

It features a thick and very sturdy knit, a result of the time and effort put into making it in the United States at the time. It has high durability and a high-quality texture that can be passed down through time, which is rarely seen in modern knitwear.

The material is precious ALL WOOL. The vivid and deep royal blue was made possible only by the pure wool of the era before chemical fibers became mainstream.

The classic V-neck (a shawl collar-like, heavy roll) gives an elegant impression. The original buttons are a deep, dark blue that harmonizes exquisitely with the body color. The cuffs are wide ribbed, designed for wear in cold regions.

This is a sophisticated classic detail garment with attention to detail.
