Size M, in grade A 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 date on the chest of this sweater is the house's own founding year, set in the language of American college lettering. It is a typical meeting of cultures for the label: a Japanese designer in Paris, borrowing the varsity vocabulary and softening it with a tiger drawn in the cheerful, slightly wild manner that the house has made its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeen from the front, the knit is quiet: deep navy, a ribbed round neck, and the small patch with its layered grey and cream outline. Turn it around and the back opens into a full-scale design, with the tiger's yellow-and-black striped face, red mouth and white whiskers fanning out beneath the lettering. A red woven KENZO Paris label sits at the inside neck, marked M. It is a piece that can be worn plainly or reversed in mood by a single turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetailed flat measurements are not recorded for this piece; we are glad to supply them on request before you buy.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varsity Tiger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crew-neck knit sweater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Navy with yellow, red, cream and grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970 varsity-style patch at the chest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large tiger head with KENZO lettering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red woven Kenzo Paris neck label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorn about five times and carefully kept; no conspicuous marks or stains are recorded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (excellent)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/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 woven Kenzo Paris neck label showing the size, the appliquéd 1970 patch and the large back design are all photographed.
