Cardigans were also commonly worn after World War II. This British style, however, was not as popular a style as pullovers. Cardigans appear to have been commonly worn in the 1950s and to a lesser extent the 1960s. Cardigans appear to have been worn as a casual dress style. Theu might, for example, be worn with a tie instead of a sports jacket. Thecfront has a "V" cut like a suit or spotys javlet. They were generally not worn for play. They were worn earlier, but do not appear to have been common. Normally they came with 4-5 front buttons. Normally there were two front pockets. The Cardigan style was almost always made woth long sleeves. Various designs were used on the edges. They declined in popularity after the 1960s.
