Size M, in clean condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long balanced Tokyo restraint with Parisian ease. The year of its founding is stamped into this cardigan itself: a \"1970\" patch sits on the chest, beside a crown, a large green and navy pocket marked with a team emblem, a bowling ball and the Kenzo name set in bold college lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is its own picture. A bowling elephant is surrounded by a comic-book \"BOOM!\" burst, with pins in flight, stars and hand-lettered captions across the beige and blue panels. The sleeves carry more script and bowling imagery, and the ribbed cuffs, hem and placket are striped in yellow, blue and cream to finish the varsity look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the front edge there is a line of hand-style script embroidered in dark beads on the beige lining of the knit, a small surprise for the wearer. The yarn is a substantial wool and cotton blend, with a dense, slightly textured handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured flat: shoulder width 62 cm (24.4 in), body width 62 cm (24.4 in), length 68 cm (26.8 in), sleeve length 57 cm (22.4 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kenzo Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Button-through knit cardigan with appliqué, embroidery and patches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55% wool, 45% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue, beige and yellow with green, navy and grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraphics:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970 patch, bowling team motifs and Kenzo lettering on the front; bowling elephant with comic burst on the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e M (Japanese size equivalent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62 cm (24.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62 cm (24.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68 cm (26.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57 cm (22.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo conspicuous soiling or damage is recorded; any light signs of wear are shown in the photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is some fraying at the edge of the inner name label.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (very good)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red Kenzo woven label with its size marking and the white care and composition label are both photographed.
