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 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.

**Shown with**

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.
