I love my dear husband and don’t want to leave him out of being blessed with a beautiful new sweater. I purchased way to many cones of derby grey cashmere (I think 5, 150g cones!) which is his favorite color. I’m going to make him this 1939 sweater from a Lux pattern magazine. The styling is completely modern. In fact my husband had a sweater pretty close to this one in grey made by “Triple Five Soul”, a trendy NYC hip hop design brand. We mistakenly stored that sweater in the trunk of our biggest purchase mistake ever, a red 1969 Alfa Romero which was my dream Bridgette Bardot car. The car smelled like exhaust and ended up making the sweater smell disgusting. Many washes later it was still stinky and useless, just like the car which broke down every six months. Well, despite that I hope to make a sweater for my husband that will be his favorite sweater again. I might update the style a little by adding a thicker more industrial size zipper. I’m also going to keep testing length because my husband despises sweaters that are too short on him. I’m working on the ribbing now. I figured his measurements and think that the given size should work. I find it very interesting that my husband and I match vintage size statures so well.
