1970s Peacock Revolution Mustard Sweater Vest, Medium

This 1970s belted sweater vest captures a rare and brilliant moment in men’s fashion history, when sleek 1960s Mod precision met the expressive confidence of the early seventies Peacock Revolution.

The Mod Revival was more than a style; it was a philosophy. It rejected the stiff conformity of previous decades, favoring sharp tailoring, color, and charisma. By the early 1970s, that modernist energy had evolved, and men began to dress not just neatly, but boldly. They embraced individuality, texture, and a touch of drama. This vest is a perfect example of that shift.

Crafted in the USA by Expressions by Campus, it’s made from a textured wool-blend knit in golden mustard with flecks of color throughout, the kind of earth tone that defined the decade’s palette. The design features a deep V-neckline, ribbed texture, three-button front, and a matching knit belt with a buckle closure, a confident, body-conscious detail that speaks to the “peacocking” spirit of the era.

The Peacock Revolution encouraged men to dress like they meant it, to turn everyday clothing into personal expression. This vest channels the Dandy aesthetic: part Mod minimalism, part Neo-Edwardian flair.

Label: Expressions by Campus

Tagged XL, but measures to a modern Medium.
Actual measurements of the garment were taken flat and doubled when appropriate.
Chest (armpit to armpit doubled): 40"
Length: 28"
Armhole: 24"
Belt: 46"

Vintage sizing often runs smaller than modern standards, and this vest is a perfect example. Though tagged XL, it measures 40" at the chest, which best fits a modern Medium (38–40 chest) or a trim Large. The ribbed wool-blend knit has gentle stretch and recovery, allowing for ease without losing shape. When in doubt, compare the measurements to a similar sweater or vest you own. These vintage knits were designed for a close, tailored fit that defines the Mod Revival/Peacocking silhouette.

Condition: New old stock from the 1970s with original tags attached. Maker’s label is slightly loose on one side, consistent with age.

Flashback to the Peacock Revolution: this vest is for the man who embraces style as attitude, color as confidence, and vintage as modern inspiration.
