The Real McCoy’s Knitwear<Tilden Knit Sweater Navy

Arguably the finest Americana reproduction brand from Japan, the Real McCoy’s painstakingly recreate and update original garments for the modern day offering the best from the past, replicated to perfection without compromise in Japan. 

The Tilden Sweater from McCoy’s is one of our favourite knitwear offerings this Autumn/Winter season! Inspired by the classic sportswear sweater adorned by Cricket players worldwide. The earliest version of this style of knit is often linked to Foster & Co, an old London Clothier, who started making & selling sports jumpers as early as the 1840’s. These classic sweaters began to make their way into the everyday wardrobe in the 20’s, as a versatile piece of clothing. 

Made in Japan from a 5-gauge slub cotton, with cable knit construction throughout (introduced to make a sturdier knit) while contrasting stripes on the waist and collar would represent team colours, but in this case a nice point of difference. Ribbed hem & cuffs with woven McCoy sportswear label complete the look.
