Cable slipovers for men. Fashion for the low tar generation
Shana likes knitting: I like vintage advertising material. Neither of us was quite sure what to make of this old pattern for a chunky pullover. It’s like something out of a time capsule, isn’t it? (Quick, let’s rebury it, pronto!)
One thing that’s changed since this photo was taken, is that you don’t often see people smoking; certainly not in adverts for woolly pullies, anyway. One stray spark and the model would’ve set himself on fire, wouldn’t he? But then, he isn’t actually smoking, is he? Just posing. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s wearing sock suspenders too, but the pic only shows the top half of him, so we shall never know.
