Vintage 1986 Far Horizons Knit Sweater

This Far Horizons knit sweater carries with it the energy of New York in the mid-1980s. Found in 1986, tucked beneath a Rolls-Royce parked outside Madison Square Garden after a heated Knicks game, the sweater has become part of city folklore.

Its textured, multicolor knit—a mix of deep browns, golds, burgundy, and muted blues—was the kind of bold statement piece that defined upscale street style at the time. Rumor has it the sweater belonged to a Wall Street broker who was courtside that night, celebrating a Knicks victory, and somehow left it behind in the late-night chaos of Midtown.

For years, stories swirled about who really wore it: a music producer, an out-of-town celebrity, or even one of the Knicks players slipping out incognito. Whatever the truth, this sweater became a time capsule of New York luxury and grit, embodying the city’s flair for mixing refinement with raw energy.

Today, it’s more than a garment—it’s a piece of Knicks-era history, an artifact of 1980s Manhattan where fashion, basketball, and excess collided under the Garden lights
