Help with 1960s (?) tennis sweater

    Good night, fellow vintage enthusiasts!

    Hope everyone is doing okay given the circumstances. So, I've found this sweater while browsing online and it caught my eye because this is so typically 1960s, I believe. Would it be called a tennis sweater? It reminds me a lot of Pete Campbell in the "Three Sundays" episode in Mad Men. The textile company that made this was first registered on August 8th, 1966. Am I correct? Any help would be welcome :)

    It looks more retro-preppy 80s/90s to me as its too thin a knit and too long in the body for the 60s.

    Agree with tennis - or cricket!

    Hi Jonathan! Thanks for your reply! Are you sure? I ask of this because the tag seemed older to me, as I've seen in other 1960s/1970s pieces, and also because older tags with the CGC registry shortened the last six digits to three, just like the one on this sweater. But otherwise, I agree with the knit being too thin and long, though :D

    I am not sure, and would need to handle it to be sure...

    Could you possibly show close ups of the label, on both sides, or flat if possible? I think it's lovely, I recently parted with a similar style one but mine was 80s for sure and a tank style.
