VTG Eisbar Austria Wool Ski Sweater 38 Purple Eagle Love To Ski Graphic

VTG Eisbär (Eisbar) pure new wool ski sweater in vivid purple with a full front-and-back eagle “LOVE TO SKI” graphic. A true alpine specialty knit with Austrian construction and that unmistakable 70s/80s ski-racer silhouette. This sweater features a ribbed compression torso panel that extends more than halfway up the body — not a simple waistband, but a snug, sculpted inner “tube” designed for warmth retention, body contouring, and staying secure during movement. The ribbed interior panel is sewn directly into the graphic upper body, creating a clean, structural transition. On each side of this join point, there is a small intentional gap in the knitting where the snug-fitting interior tube connects to the wider graphic portion of the sweater. This is not a flaw — it is part of the original alpine construction, allowing the upper body to move freely while the torso panel stays fitted and secure. It also helps keep snow out if you fall or lean into deep powder. Architectural, warm, and unmistakably vintage, this piece has serious statement energy — equally at home in retro alpine styling, après-ski looks, cabin weekends, or bold winter streetwear.
