Buttery Soft Dalton Camel Cashmere Sweater and Necktie (c. 1940s-50s)
Embrace the understated luxury of this original 1940s–50s cashmere sweater by Dalton of America, crafted from 100% pure imported cashmere. Renowned for its refined tailoring and impossibly soft knits, Dalton was a midcentury favorite for women of taste and quiet glamour.
In a warm, honeyed beige, this sweater features a charming tied neckline and beautifully fitted waist, offering that iconic 1940s silhouette — softly structured yet effortlessly feminine. The neck has a strip, attached to each side with buttons, and has a detached small sash that ties onto the strap into the bow of your choice. Its cropped length and fine gauge knit make it an ideal companion to high-waisted skirts, trousers, or shorts, bringing timeless sophistication to your vintage wardrobe.

The history of the Dalton Company:
Dalton was an American cashmere and knitwear manufacturer based in Cleveland and Willoughby, Ohio. Founded in 1949 by Arthur Dery and Maurice Saltzman as the Fine Gauge Knitwear Company, Dalton gained a reputation for high-quality cashmere sweaters and coordinating separates, including skirts, slacks, and blouses. In 1959, the company introduced the James Kenrob label, offering double knits in wool and synthetic fibers. By the 1980s, Dalton had shifted toward mid-priced sportswear, launching sub-labels such as Dalton Sport (1982), Dalton Studio (1985), and Lady Dalton (1985). The company ceased operations in 1986.
