The Jantzen company made more than vintage swimwear

Most people, and even I always associated Jantzen with vintage swimwear.

With the diving figure logo that always comes to mind first.

But they made many kinds of vintage knit sportswear clothing.

Here is a wool and mohair 1950s vintage mens cardigan sweater with a zipper front just added to Bette Be Good Vintage Clothing

Understated Elegance! St. John’s Santana Knits!

St. John Knits! In order to stretch her own limited wardrobe budget, Marie St. John made her first pure wool knit dress on a flatbed knitting machine in 1962.  From then it was only up, with her fabulous Santana knits.  Her then-fiancé and salesman Bob Gray pitched her designs to department stores and got an order for 84 dresses on his first try. St. John Knits took off quickly, appealing mostly to a clientele of mature career women who preferred a classic look.  Expensive yes, but they last for years, are noted for their ease in taveling, and can blocked several sizes up or down.  Here are few that are currently listed at Scorpio Vintage

Love Those Fuzzy Angora Sweaters!

With cold weather approaching we’ll be getting our warm sweaters out.  Although Cashmere has usually topped the list of desirable in a sweater, there are those that favor Angora for its fuzzy fibers and soft luxuriant feeling.

Angora wool or Angora fiber refers to the downy coat produced by the Angora Rabbit. While their names are similar, Angora fiber is distinct from mohair, which comes from the Angora Goat. Angora is known for its softness, thin fibers, and what knitters refer to as a halo (fluffiness). It is also known for its silky texture.  Check out the picture below to see how fluffy they really are!

ENGLISH ANGORA RABBIT

When looking to purchase a Angora sweater, check out the Angora Content. The higher percentage will usually give you a sweater with more Halo (fluffiness).  Percent’s can range from a low 10% up to 80% or more.

Here are a two Angora sweaters currently listed at Scorpio Vintage
