"BURBERRY" 00’s classic argyle v-neck wool knit

Centered on British traditional style and designed to imbue everyday wear with elegance across different eras, BURBERRY LONDON presents a refined piece that quietly embodies the spirit of argyle.

This piece is a garment that modernizes the traditional pattern, bringing a contemporary air to its classic design.

The V-neck opening is neither too deep nor too shallow, creating a neat space around the neck without appearing sloppy. When layered with a shirt, the collar sits neatly, and even with just a T-shirt, the chest line looks sharp. The front features a large classic argyle pattern that transitions to thinner lines outward, preventing the pattern from becoming too dominant and giving the overall outfit an intellectual finish.

Made of 100% wool, the knit has a fine, dense texture, making it less prone to excessive pilling and leaving a subdued sheen. The ribbing on the sleeves and hem is finished with a moderate tension, ensuring it fits without constricting the body line, making it less bulky even when worn under a jacket, and maintaining an elegant outline on its own. The silhouette offers a comfortable fit typical of Japanese department store lines, with natural shoulder drape, creating a balanced look that suits any gender.

Regarding the background of the era, the elements that ensure credibility are in place: the tag features a black background with white lettering of BURBERRY LONDON, a design seen in the men's line launched after the logo refresh in the 2000s, and the care label indicates Sanyo Shokai, clarifying the context as part of the domestic licensed distribution. Furthermore, the country of origin being China aligns with the period when some knitwear shifted from predominantly domestic production in the 90s, and the product number format follows Sanyo Shokai's management system at that time, making it convincing to consider this item as from around 2003 to 2008.

When you think of Burberry, checks often come to mind, but handling of argyle patterns embodies another face of British traditional style, designed as a practical item that elegantly connects work and leisure. Because the pattern is not overly trendy, it can accompany you for a long time, adapting to changes in age and style, and naturally becomes accessible whether you want a neat look or want to relax a bit.

In terms of styling, pairing a simple shirt with slim but not too tight slacks creates a clean line that highlights the pattern's traditional appeal, resulting in an intelligent and calm impression. Layering a Chesterfield coat or trench coat on top enhances the British atmosphere, and switching the inner to a cut-and-sew with wide pants creates a mode-inspired space while maintaining a classic context.

Take this opportunity.
