Outstanding vintage men’s V-neck sweater from Boyd’s Saint Louis, dating to approximately the 1960s.
This is a particularly nice survivor in a rich mustard / golden ochre color with classic Ivy League / collegiate styling. The sweater retains its original paper hang tags and appears to have seen little to no wear.
The original label identifies the sweater as:
- Boyd’s – Saint Louis
- Size XL
- 95% Lambswool / 5% Nylon
- Made in British Crown Colony Hong Kong
- Original machine-washable care tag still attached
The small original hangtag notes that nylon was added to the lambswool to help reduce shrinkage and pilling and increase wear.

The sweater presents exceptionally well with strong color and clean knit fabric. I see no obvious significant wear from use. As with any vintage garment, please review all photographs carefully and compare the actual measurements with a similar garment that fits you well, as vintage sizing can differ considerably from modern sizing.
A fantastic piece for collectors of 1960s menswear, Ivy League style, vintage preppy clothing, collegiate fashion, or classic American department-store apparel.
