1930's-1940's era Cardigan Sweater SPORTS COAT aka SPA COAT

Very nice vintage multicolor wool cardigan sweater offered for sale this past Sunday by our friend and neighbor Jason, proprietor of the STARLITE ROOM. These sweaters were also know as Spa Coats, Sports Coats & Sport Sweater Coats. This particular sweater has been modified for use as a shooting jacket and features some nice details including multicolor wool (seen in close up of the button), 2 hole buttons with great pattern, keyhole stitched button holes, ribbed pockets, owner installed rifle butt should patch, hand darned repairs and one of the best felt patches seen in a long time. Had it fit, I would have snapped it up. That said, I was pleased to have helped Jason set a fair price and see this fine piece go to a happy new owner.
