'1960s Reindeer' Cowichan

Editors Notes

Chunky hand-knit zip-front cardigan jacket with a high shawl collar, ribbed cuffs and hem, and an all-over Fair Isle-style motif featuring brown deer and green pine trees on a cream base. Heavy textured wool knit with visible seaming and a slightly rustic, alpine lodge feel.

This kind of novelty knitwear became especially popular in the mid-to-late 20th century, when cozy alpine and ski-inspired cardigans were embraced for their charm and warmth. The deer-and-pine motif gives it that classic winter lodge look that collectors love in vintage wool knits. Today, pieces like this are styled as statement outer layers, bringing a playful retro touch to modern wardrobes.
