The Classic 49’er Pendleton jacket was popular during the I Love Lucy early years and was seen on Lucy, Desi and Vivian in various episodes and promotional stills. Here we see Ethel (Vivian Vance) wearing hers.
You can tell whether a vintage Pendleton 49er jacket is a man’s size or woman’s size by the color of the label, the womenswear label is always white, and the menswear label is blue. Early Pendleton labels did not have a Woolmark symbol, it was not used before the mid 1960’s.

This is Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo wearing a cute ribbed knit alice band hat in a scene from an I Love Lucy episode on the Newport home set. I am not offering a knitting pattern at present but it looks very easy to knit in a simple rib stitch with contrast stripe border.
