Notes: An extremely rare vintage Patagonia Alpiniste Sweater from F/W 1988 in very good preowned vintage condition with signs of normal wear including multiple small imperfections. Made of 100% heavyweight merino wool. The sweater appears to have shrunken over the years and the sleeves may have been professionally shortened by a previous owner.
“The Alpiniste Sweater embodies quality, tradition and the integrity of things well designed and impeccably put together. A heavy wool sweater inspired by old French guide garments, it’s brushed on the inside to increase its loft and warmth. The yarn is given a hard twist before it’s knitted to make it stronger. The zipper (complete with leather tab at its base) forms a low turtleneck when zipped up. The sweater has a generous, full cut. Dry clean only. Imported” (Patagonia, Fall 1994).
Please refer to the measurements included in the description of each garment before purchasing to ensure a proper fit, as vintage sizing frequently differs slightly from modern sizing. To ensure a proper fit, we highly recommend comparing the provided measurements to a similar garment of your own that fits to your liking. All measurements are in inches. Many garments fit between two sizes and are labeled as such. For example, a Snap-T that best fits between a Mens Medium and Large is listed as an M/L. See the How to measure tab for more information.
