I'm no help, but I found one of the Jantzen reindeer sweaters. I thought it was a womens but maybe it's a mans?

The shoulderline looks pretty wide for a woman's Susan, how does the measurement compare to others you've had?
 
You sure are making me entertained with these sweaters. Such fun.
I have a 1940s catalog and quite a few knitting and crochet small magazines I am going to look thru.
I am also noticing a trend in the real world shops now of cute sweaters with designs now.
 
Linda, you have such an amazing collection of sweaters and related items (love the old b&w pics). Not to mention all of your other equally fabulous collections.

Have you authored a book on the topic? Or possibly authoring one now? Because if you haven't contracted to publish yet, you really, *really* should.
 
Not remotely in the same class but I thought Linda would appreciate this 1980's Debenhams Classics jumper I found yesterday:

It is the same on the back. I love the way the design makes your arms the two other 'legs', so it either appears as a standing/pouncing tiger, or one of those floor rugs.
