Vintage Sweaters
 

Jeff's great picture of Home Run Baker and others wearing their sweaters (below), gave me the bright idea of trying to find a similar sweater. Possibly even adding a logo of a favorite team. Does anyone know of any good sources for such vintage-style cardigans? I checked a number of department stores online. There are a couple close calls, but nothing as realistic as we see in vintage photos.

Sorry, this one's not baseball and it's not a replica (;)) but here's a photo of Andy Aitkenhead's post-game sweater from c. 1927 Saskatoon Sheiks

Sweater
 

The sweater I'm wearing in this picture is one I bought on ebay a few years ago. It was advertised as a 1910-era baseball sweater, but I'm not sure it is specifically baseball. It is very thick, compared to sweaters made today. I was messing around, trying to make it look like a T207 card.

Ron, I never knew that was you in your avatar, very cool!

Christy Mathewson says Blauvelt sweaters are best if that helps. Sorry couldn't resist.:D

Here's two advertising signs for Bradley sweaters. the bottom one is mine 28x22 inch. top one is about 3 1/2 foot wide. Have seen 2 examples

John - Sent you an email...may be just what you are looking for.

Joe - PM sent. Also curious to learn more about the sweaters. Thanks.

William,
So a little light went on! I told my wife I knew where we could probably sell a couple hundred reproductions.

Joe, Thanks for the heads up.

Here's a frontal of the same sweater, different photo (or portion of one anyways). Would love to have a replica.

A couple hundred would be great! I'm actually just looking to replace the traditional "monkey suit". Thought this would be a nice alternative. Spring weather should arrive in Boston sometime in the next few months!

Does anyone own any old baseball sweaters? Show 'em if you got 'em!

Ron R

I don't think any of these sweaters exists, if they do show them.

Joe

I do not own one but am watching this at auction....
 

Thanks Ben

Joe

I really like the old Yankees/ Highlanders one shown on this D381....

Some more nice examples (none are mine...)

WHOA!! Any idea of the dates on those Giants sweaters?

Mid to late teens... gorgeous, huh!

I don't even collect them but those are great looking sweaters, Perezfan!!

'Gorgeous' doesn't do them justice. Absolutely frikkin' unbelievable!!! I wish that sweaters looked like these nowadays...lord knows I wouldn't wear one of these vintage ones in public!

I to am interested in these sweaters........Mitchell and Ness offered them in their first catalog...Does someone know the boys done there?? ........Maybe they would make more if there was enough interest?.............

This is one of the most gorgeous uniform pieces Heritage has ever handled, consigned by the son of Muddy Ruel, who wore it as a ringer for the White Sox on the 1924 Baseball Tour of Europe.

I know... it's June.
Still, looks pretty close to vintage. What do you think? Afix a logo and you'e good to go.
