Issey Miyake Early Label Checkerboard Turtleneck Wool Sweater Size M
Step into Japanese fashion history with this rare vintage Issey Miyake turtleneck sweater from the coveted brush tag era. Produced by On-Limit between the late 1970s and early 1980s, this unisex archive piece captures the brand's early avant-garde spirit. The bold black and blue checkerboard pattern creates a striking, dimensional design that feels both retro and modern.
Crafted from a knit blend of 50 percent wool, 25 percent acrylic, and 25 percent nylon, it features a cozy, high-volume turtleneck collar that beautifully frames the neck, along with the elegant silhouette Issey Miyake was known for in this era. Marked as a size M, it offers flat measurements of 47cm chest width, 64cm length, 46cm shoulder width, and 52cm sleeve length.
This secondhand item is in good vintage condition with no noticeable scratches or stains. The ribbing at the cuffs and hem remains firm, with no major pilling, stretching, or moth damage despite its age. It's a standout collector's piece, prized by archive fashion fans both in Japan and abroad, and one that's only likely to grow in value over time.
