one of the original Orlon brand cardigans, who were a division of duPont, and the original inventors of acrylic fabric.
nowadays acrylic is known for being a cheap fiber, but once upon a time it was a high-tech, luxurious material.
this one brags about having a cashmere feel, and honestly, it does. it is very soft and springy and breathable feeling.
ivory base color, with graphic print of mustard yellow, tan, brown, and olive colored wildflowers.
pearly plastic buttons down front.
ribbed cuffs and bottom hem.
light fuzzing/pilling starting to happen at high friction areas like elbows, but should be easily removed with a sweater shaver.
in surprisingly great shape, for the age.
doesn't have care instructions, but i would hand wash it just to keep it going longer.
Its already lived a half century, may as well help it to keep going for another 50 years.
MEASUREMENTS:
stretches.
39 to 42" bust.
34 - 38" waist/bottom hem.
19" long.
no size labeled, fits like a modern medium, maybe a large.
remember that you'll probably be wearing this over other clothing so you should give yourself a couple inches of wiggle room.
