Description

A vintage LRX Pure Light patterned knit sweater made in Italy, with a soft geometric motif in white, gray, black, aqua, taupe, and muted pastel yarns. The knit has a textured, dimensional surface with a slightly fuzzy marled effect, giving the sweater visual depth without feeling too loud.

The silhouette is a classic crewneck pullover with ribbed trim at the neck, cuffs, and hem. The pattern runs across the front, back, and sleeves, creating a balanced allover graphic that feels very late-1980s to 1990s: cozy, artful, and a little alpine without being overly literal.

Marked size S. Based on Dean’s measurements and the visible fit, this is best for a modern men’s S/M to slim M, approximately 38/40 chest, depending on desired fit. On Dean, it fits close through the chest and body with a shorter vintage sweater length.

Shown on Dean with light trousers. Listing is for the sweater only.

Fit Notes

Marked size S. Estimated modern fit is men’s S/M to slim M, approximately 38/40 chest.

Shown on Dean, who is 6’2”, 170 lb, wears a men’s Medium shirt, 40L slim-fit suit, has a 40” chest, 36” sleeve, and 31/32” waist. On Dean, the sweater fits close through the chest and body with a shorter vintage length. Best for a modern men’s Small/Medium or someone who wears a slim Medium and prefers a neat vintage sweater fit.

Because Dean is tall with a 36” sleeve, the sleeve and body length are useful references. This is not an oversized fit on him.

Condition

Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The sweater presents well overall, with strong color and a great textured knit surface. Minor fuzziness, small loose yarns, and light knit wear are visible in the photos, especially near the ribbed edges, consistent with the style and age of the piece. No major structural flaws are visible in the provided photos. Please review photos carefully.

Styling Notes

Wear it with cream trousers for a clean vintage look, or style it with faded denim, brown cords, olive fatigues, or black pleated pants. It also layers well under a tan jacket, wool coat, denim jacket, or oversized blazer. The soft aqua and gray tones pair especially well with ivory, khaki, charcoal, washed black, chocolate brown, and pale denim.

Styling / Cross-Sell Note

Styled with light trousers for shoot styling. Listing is for the sweater only unless otherwise stated.

Curation Note

Selected for its Italian-made label, textured geometric knit, soft color palette, and easy late-1980s/1990s styling. It has the kind of graphic but wearable vintage knitwear feel that works across art-school, casual tailoring, and soft menswear looks.

Authenticity Note

Interior label reads LRX Pure Light and Made in Italy, with a marked size S. Era is estimated based on label design, knit construction, pattern, silhouette, and overall late-1980s/1990s styling context.

Size Chart

Vintage sizing varies greatly by brand, country, garment type, and time period. The marked vintage size may not reflect today’s sizing standards. Whenever possible, we provide both the original marked size and our estimated modern US size equivalent. This estimate is based on the item’s era, construction, fabric behavior, relevant size references, and how the piece fits on the model shown. We do not clip, pin, or artificially alter garments when photographing them. The model’s size, measurements, and visible fit are the best guides for understanding modern fit. Please review all photos, fit notes, and product details before purchasing.

Found an absolute gem of a Hawaiian shirt for my rehearsal dinner. Just head upstairs, go back in time, and enjoy yourself. Love this place and Melynda!!

One of the coolest places I’ve stumbled upon thus far. Unlike some other vintage stores where it feels like it’s full of marked-up Goodwill items, Melynda takes the time to research and select all the items she puts out in the store. When I stopped by, she even let me look through some items she hadn’t put out yet, and I found a really cool vintage Western button-up. The men’s section is not neglected either, full of some really cool shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and other accessories. If you’re looking to find a unique piece in a friendly environment, this is the place for you.

My mom and I found the Peoples Free Boutique by Quirk after the fires devastated our neighborhood in Altadena. We've been building care boxes for an entire group of people, not just ourselves, and were welcomed into the space. It allowed us to recreate beautiful closets in a safe space, which has become harder to find as the relief efforts continue in the second wave. Very grateful for the energy and dedication that Melynda and her team of volunteers had shown to our community!! Go check out the Peoples Free Boutique on Spring St if you've been impacted by the fires they will help you rebuild and feel fabulous! If you weren't impacted by the fires but want to support Quirk for now you would message Melynda on Instagram to set up a shopping appointment! She's so dedicated to the relief efforts her store is still running by appointment only so she can keep the Free Boutique open! Love them!!!

So thankful for Quirk and their pop up for folks affected from the fires! I've been able to stop by a few times to pick up much needed items after losing my things from the fires. They offer everything from clothing, shoes, hygiene items, accessories, and you'll find a combination of brand new and gently used items. The volunteers are literally the sweetest and most helpful. It genuinely feels like a peaceful, fun, and productive shopping experience. So grateful for quirk and their pop up, strongly recommend.

Quirk for Fire Vicitms has been such a special place for me. I have found wonderful clothes to get myself started after losing my home in Pacific Palisades. The boutique is clean, organized and the volunteers are so kind and helpful. Melinda who runs has become my friend and I have run into other friends who lost their homes and met many new ones. 5 stars plus another 5 stars

My friends and I had a very pleasant and wonderful visit at Quirk. I got these beautiful snake skin shoes with a vintage neck scarf which i also fall in love with. I got compliments from people every time i wear them. I wanted to buy everything when I was there. There are jewelry, scarfs , shoes, dresses and the HATS. The price is very affordable so I was a happy shopper. The next best thing ( or the best ) about Quirk is the shop owner, Melynda. She is friendly and extremely helpful in helping you putting your dream outfits together and giving you advices when you needed them. She makes my shopping experience fun and comfortable. The shop is beautiful. I love the warmth and the openness of the shop. It stands out in the middle of the busy downtown LA streets. I will definitely come back and visit again when I come back to LA.

Quirk is a great place to rent or buy unique clothing. Melynda has curated such a great variety of items. I rented a gorgeous gown for a work event and bought multiple things including a vintage Italian suit that I get complimented on all the time. It is a wonder place to discover and elevate your personal style.
