I have the leftover fabric from what were once matching winter capes owned by my parents. That might have been 70s or early 80s.<br /><br />I'm not sure what exactly killed the trend but I'm pretty sure the men were behind it.Tanithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915557658875958630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848701498694248195.post-55085175605653130872017-02-06T05:15:19.039-08:002017-02-06T05:15:19.039-08:00I defintiely think the 80s/early 90s matching knit...I defintiely think the 80s/early 90s matching knits killed the fashion, after that people just thought it looked naff.

My then boyfriend (soon after husband) and I had matching jackets, and I think my sister-in-law knitted her boyfriend and her matching jumpers but Andy would not wear anything I knitted him. My niece and her boyfriend decided when they got together that it would be really kisch to wear matching jumpers and t-shirts and I was almost going to knit a pair of those ski-ing jumpers you've shown really just to take the pee out of them. They split up before I got round to it. But even if I had done they are so weird they would probably had turned it into the new fashion. Having said that I think the ski-ing one is my favourite.
