An estimated 1970s mustard knit cardigan jacket with mixed-texture checkerboard panels, a pointed collar, covered buttons, ribbed cuffs, and a cropped blouson-style hem. Tonal ochre, camel, and golden-yellow squares give the front a dimensional patchwork effect while the solid knit back keeps the shape clean. Best fits a modern men’s S/M and is shown on Jayden with a close, easy fit through the torso.

A warm-toned vintage cardigan jacket that sits somewhere between knitwear, sportswear, and wearable textile design. The mustard body is framed by checkerboard patchwork panels in ochre, camel, and golden yellow, creating a rich tonal surface without relying on a loud print.
The construction includes a pointed knit collar, covered button front, long sleeves with ribbed cuffs, and a ribbed blouson hem. The solid knit sleeves and back balance the more decorative front, giving the jacket a clean silhouette from every angle.
On Jayden, it fits neatly through the shoulders and torso with enough room for a fine-gauge sweater or T-shirt underneath. The waist-length shape works particularly well with high-rise trousers, wide-leg denim, or a longer shirttail layered underneath.

Fit Notes
Estimated to best fit a modern men’s S/M, depending on the desired ease.
On Jayden, the shoulder line sits correctly and the body fits close without pulling across the chest or button placket. The sleeves finish around the wrist, and the ribbed hem sits at the upper hip. A modern men’s Small should receive a slightly easier fit, while a Medium should expect a trimmer vintage silhouette.
The jacket may also work for a unisex modern M/L customer seeking a shorter, more fitted proportion, but the primary merchandising category should remain men’s S/M.
Condition
Good vintage condition.
The jacket remains structurally wearable and the mustard knit retains strong, even color overall. Visible age and use include scattered marks and spotting across several of the lighter patchwork squares, tonal variation within the mixed-texture panels, light surface wear, soft creasing, and minor wear around the buttonholes and covered buttons.
No major holes, large tears, missing buttons, or significant structural damage are visible in the supplied photographs. The visible marks are part of the jacket’s current presentation and are reflected in the price.
Styling Notes
Wear it buttoned with high-rise pleated trousers or wide-leg denim, or leave it open over a fitted black tank or fine-gauge turtleneck. The mustard palette also works well with chocolate brown, cream, deep indigo, olive, and burgundy.
The vintage Celine Macadam travel bag shown in the styled photographs is separate inventory and is not included with the jacket.
