Vintage 90s Denim & Co Western Knit Cardigan

Vintage 90s Denim & Co Western Knit Cardigan — Concho Button Sweater — Southwestern Pattern — Montana Open Skies — XL

This is the kind of sweater that feels at home under a wide sky, layered over flannel, denim, and cold morning air.

This vintage 1990s Denim & Co knit cardigan leans heavily into western and Southwestern influence, with geometric motifs and striped detailing that echo classic ranch blankets and desert textiles. The palette feels grounded and natural, warm neutrals accented with deep blues and faded reds, giving it that quiet, lived-in beauty that defines true vintage knitwear.

What makes this piece especially compelling are the details. The concho-style buttons with leather ties add a distinctly western character, subtle but unmistakable. They give the sweater a handcrafted, rustic feel, elevating it far beyond a standard cardigan. The open-front design makes it ideal for layering, whether worn casually with denim or styled intentionally for a more rugged western look.

The knit itself has softened significantly over time. It no longer has the stiffness of a new garment, instead draping naturally with that comfortable weight that comes from years of wear. It feels reliable, like something that has been reached for season after season.

There is visible wear to the knit near the lower front area, including loose threads and distressed sections, evidence of genuine use rather than decorative aging. These imperfections are permanent and part of the sweater’s story. This piece is not pristine; it is authentically worn, and that character is exactly what gives it its charm.

Made from a cotton and acrylic blend, it offers warmth without heaviness, making it perfect for transitional seasons, cool evenings, or layering under heavier outerwear. It carries strong Montana Open Skies energy, practical, nostalgic, and quietly striking.

As with all vintage garments, this item has been previously worn and shows signs of age and use. It is not new, not unworn, and not in perfect condition.
