Very Easy Very Vogue: oversized, polo-collar pullover with false placket, dropped shoulders, breast pocket, and applied buttons.

From Vogue Knitting, Fall/Winter 1986:
“The glint of golden buttons against glorious red and black sets the tone for the spirit of today’s polo pull. A trompe l’oeil placket for the polo collar; real pocket.”
