Description:

Rare vintage University of Virginia collegiate knit sweater from Nutmeg Athletic Dept.'s dedicated SWEATERS line.

Tagged Men's Large and Made in USA from 100% cotton, this is a true knitted sweater rather than a standard collegiate sweatshirt.

The cream / ivory body uses an unusual mixed-knit construction with a smooth jersey-knit upper chest transitioning into a heavily textured lower body and sleeves. Finished with a substantial ribbed crewneck, cuffs and waistband for a classic relaxed vintage collegiate silhouette.

The left chest features an intricately embroidered VIRGINIA crest in traditional orange, navy and white.
