I was born and raised a UK Wildcats fan in Lexington, Kentucky. Both Mr. Jones and I went to different universities (I am a proud graduate of the University of Cincinnati DAAP program), however we remain devoted to our home team. This explains why this vintage Kentucky sweater is indeed the most coveted item in my closet. Not only is it a rare find, but I get compliments on it all of the time! Since stumbling upon this unique piece of Wildcat history, I have been on the lookout for a similar varsity sweater that would fit Mr. Jones. I haven't found one yet, but that doesn't mean I can't make one! Below you will find a list of items to make your own varsity cardigan. If you aren't keen on sewing the patch on yourself, take the cardigan and patch to your local tailor for a small fee. If you create your own varsity cardigan, tag @meandmr.jones on instagram, I would love to see how you show your school spirit!
