Do you have a vintage photo of someone wearing one like it? I'm just curious as it's not a sweater I recall seeing..not that I study old clothes a lot, admittedly.

I had a great photo of some brothers from Chicago in a live pigeon match wearing shawl collar cardigans but I'd loaned it to EDM before he passed away and just never approached the family about getting it back.

Did a little Google searching and did turn up one of The Babe in his two tone cardigan.

And here's another of a late 40's curling team in their striped cardigans. If I run across a shooting related one I'll post it.

That's six! If I can hustle up enough orders I'll let everybody know further details. I have a list going.

I wish I'd have kept photos of a vintage one I owned at one time. It was a "No Sag" brand. The pockets were lined and then the chest was backed to the shoulder with heavy cotton fabric so the pockets wouldn't sag down with the weight of the shells. And of course there's the famous Skookum Shooting Sweaters. The real early ones has a short shawl collar and buttons, but of course I can't find a pic of one of those either.

Well, it's a way cool sweater nonetheless!

The stripped collar seemed to be holding a few guys back. I talked to Simon about it and we've decided to do away with it all together. The sweater will be just the British Army Green with no dead grass details. I have a few guys committed but need a bunch more to make this happen. Please don't hesitant to get in touch if you're interested.
