    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Re. the various Woolly Pully sweaters: Ditto, or Doubleplus Ditto in Orwellian speech. Re. Jarhead: the high collar on the original Marine uniform, which would make the poor chap look as if his head was sticking out of a jar. This also earned them the rather erotically charged nickname...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    The ‘You’re a Jarhead if …’ was humorous and written by an ex-Marine. I’m glad to see that you spell Woolly Pully the proper way, that is to say the British way as we invented the WP and you sensibly copied it. … The question that springs to mind, inevitably, is whether your Father ever wore...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I once read a series of definitions of Jarhead: ‘you are a Jarhead if …’ One of them was: ‘You are a Jarhead if you wear your Wooly (sic) Pully with Levis’. Interesting, because I do that sometimes and as a British chap have never served in the USMC. Typical American humour - sorry, humor.

    Thank you Sir. I’ll reply in more detail later. Marine Commando is of course a British term, not US.

    So do I. Acrylic is ugly, common and unmanly. If that’s politically incorrect, I’m delighted. F**k synthetics.

    Here Navy Blue means Navy Blue, but there is a Black version as well. I have both of course.

    It looks very nice. Tempting in fact -although I already have an embarrassingly large number of the conventional WPs

    It’s great. I love the cold. And I’m wearing a Navy WP.

    I hope so. It has been a very strange year; I am naturally optimistic and so I look forward to better things in 2022. I shall be delighted and relieved to leave 2021 behind.

    That’s very nice if it’s dry, crisp cold and such weather is ideal for a bonfire. I am wearing - surprise, surprise - a WP as it’s sweater weather here as well.

    Seasonal greetings to everyone on this thread, now in its 11th year which means that some of you are old friends now.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    That’s certainly what it looks like.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Thank you for that Link. I see that they have the ‘frock jumper’ in Navy as well and also a repro WWII British Army Pullover. Just my sort of place.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Re: Outdoor Knitwear. I have their -15% offer and am thinking of replacing one of my RAF WPs, which is more worn out than Peacoat’s Navy sweater. I’m thinking of getting one size larger than usual as I have noticed that the newer WPs are smaller and tighter than before. I haven’t put on weight -...

    It really does depend on whether you have long arms! In my avatar for this Forum you will see a photo of my wrist and part of my hand! I’m wearing my Navy Woolly Pully with the cuffs turned back - that should give you some idea.

    Well yes, the Outdoor Knitwear Woolly Pully, which is the real thing. Go to www.outdoorknitwear.com No, they’re not paying me a commission: I’m just a longterm customer!

    Yes, I can confirm that it does run a bit longer in the torso than the traditional crew neck and so you should certainly keep it.

    Very nice photos Steve. Mine has arrived as well and I shall put some snapshots up soon. But why have you covered your face, especially with a Union Jack mask? You look like a UVF or UDA loyalist gunman in Northern Ireland: ‘No Surrender’!
