Vintage 1980s Jaeger Cardigan | Coral Pink Ribbed Knit | Women’s British Designer Knitwear

A classic vintage 1980s Jaeger cardigan in a beautifully warm coral-pink shade, combining timeless British knitwear with an unmistakably autumnal colour palette.

The cardigan has a flattering V neckline, vertical ribbed texture and traditional button-front fastening. Two small front pockets add a practical finishing detail, while the neat ribbed cuffs and hem retain its classic shape.

Wear it buttoned as a knitted top or open over a blouse, dress or lightweight roll neck. A versatile original Jaeger piece that works particularly well with denim, tailored trousers and neutral autumn separates.

SIZE

Estimated modern fit: approximately UK 8–10, depending on the preferred fit.

Vintage sizing differs from modern sizing, so please compare the measurements with a similar cardigan that fits you comfortably.

MEASUREMENTS

Approximate garment measurements:

Chest: 36 inches around
Pit to pit: approximately 18 inches laid flat
Waist: 32 inches around
Length: 25 inches
Inside sleeve: 17 inches

Please verify the pit-to-pit measurement before publishing, as the original measurements described 36 inches as “laid flat,” which would otherwise indicate a 72-inch chest.

As an original garment from the 1980s, it may display minor signs of age or previous wear consistent with its history. Please review the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

STYLING IDEAS

Button it fully and wear it with high-waisted jeans for a relaxed vintage look, or layer it over a cream blouse with tailored trousers and loafers. Its warm coral colouring also pairs beautifully with chocolate brown, camel, navy and deep burgundy.
