Vintage Verri Uomo Italy Abstract Geometric Knit Sweater Men's XL / Large
Italian Texture with Graphic Retro Character!
Bring bold color and exceptional natural-fiber texture to your knitwear collection with this vintage Verri Uomo crewneck sweater. The rich burgundy-red and dark navy abstract geometric pattern gives the piece an artistic, graphic presence, while its slouchy drape and dropped shoulders create a relaxed, round neckline, easy-to-wear silhouette.
The premium Italian blend combines wool for warmth and structure, silk for a subtle sheen, and angora rabbit hair for a delicate fuzzy halo across the knit. Ribbed cuffs and hem complete the design, making this a distinctive layer for cozy grandpa looks, avant-garde outfits, and retro streetwear.

Measurements are approximate and taken with the garment laid flat. Compare them with a similar sweater you own for the most reliable fit. The relaxed knit and dropped shoulders affect how the sweater sits, so use the measurements rather than size alone. Due to the nature of the knit, it may stretch and reshape when worn.
~ Sustainability & Climate Note:
The clearest sustainability measure for this sweater is life extension: choosing pre-owned keeps an existing garment in use and may reduce demand for new production and textile waste. A precise CO₂, water, or energy savings figure cannot be calculated from the garment details alone because transport, dry cleaning, storage, and what this purchase replaces all affect the result.
