Nice jumper.

I have too many vintage sweaters, but this is by far my favourite. By Spalding Bros, from the 20s or 30s, probably. It's too long, so I have to turn up the body hem.

The scan is from one of my Schneidermeister mags but the original cartoon appeared in an american publication. The article doesn't state more details [huh] It just makes fun of the silly americans I guess.
Looks similar to the John Held Jr. illustrations of the 20s.

Well, yes, but...no. As far as I know the fellow is - even after all those years - still constantly high as a kite, which is to say that he would have considerable difficulties putting on that solemn look. Just look at that photo! ;)

The (orange) RRL cardigan itself looks cool but there is the brand name all over the patches. Deal breaker for me. :eusa_doh:
