A classic 1950s varsity cardigan in heavyweight wool, done in the same iconic silhouette made famous by Jenny’s Playboy cardigan in Forrest Gump. Clean, simple, and unmistakably mid-century—this is the understated side of American athletic style.
Constructed from dense cream wool with deep red ribbed trim at the collar, placket, cuffs, and hem. Features a bold chenille “B” patch at the chest, knit-in sleeve stripes, and original red buttons. No flashy embellishment—just pure period-correct design.
Produced by Allen Sport Shops, Inc. (New Rochelle, NY), a known mid-century athletic outfitter. Made in the USA.
