Shetland Wool Argyle Sweater Vest

Originating in western Scotland in the 17th century, the Argyle pattern was initially used in tweed fabrics and socks. Its popularity soared after World War I when the renowned Scottish brand Pringle incorporated the Argyle diamond pattern into its knitwear, a style favored by the Duke of Windsor. This led to the pattern's widespread adoption in knitwear, making it popular in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Today, Argyle remains a symbol of British knitwear tradition.
