    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    You look as if you need a kit inspection!

    Cricket sweaters

    Very nice. I like the tie and the combat trousers as well; I have the latter, of course (sometimes paired with an Army, Navy or Black Woolly Pully), and I have some colourful ties as well for more formal gatherings. Your head is chopped off in the second photo. ...

    Cricket sweaters

    I also hope ST can return soon. I wasn’t much good at Cricket and haven’t played it since school apart from twice (I think) at university when I stood in for another chap. However I also like wearing the sweaters.

    Cricket sweaters

    Kent and Curwen seem to exist online but in reduced circumstances. Smart Turnout I have used for many years for Cricket sweaters but they too are closed. However they seem to be about to relaunch in some form. I can’t remember whether you actually played Cricket: if so, did you wear one of...

    Cricket sweaters

    That’s a very good cause, I am sure. I have worn Kent & Curwen cricket sweaters in my time and should check out their website. I wasn’t a great Cricketer as a schoolboy: I played from time to time for the House but was never brilliant at it or all that interested really. However I enjoyed...

    Cricket sweaters

    It’s a while since I wore a Cricket sweater because I have so many Woolly Pullies and Guernseys - and Norwegian sweaters. I must wear a Cricket sweater again soon. Where does your new one come from?

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I am wearing a Moss Green WP. It’s a hybrid style custom made for me on request by OK to add to my collection. ... It has a pen pocket on the left arm but no shoulder straps (epps), just plain patches. It’s a nice retro look - a throwback to the ‘70s. It’s great that the weather has stayed cool...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    ... And heatwaves. I HATE, LOATHE, DETEST heatwaves. ... We haven’t had one yet this year, but I’m sure we will at some stage and even the thought puts me in a bad mood !

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    On the ‘really ticks you off theme’: this might be less relevant to Americans as each state has its own ‘lockdown’ policy (although there are some Federal rules/guidelines I think?). However here in Britain we are having some of the Covid restrictions eased - despite a very potent Indian variant...

    ... And I’m in one of their Black WPs (with Epps and pen pocket)!

    Irish Fisherman's Sweater

    A Mexican Aran. ... Well, I have seen Irish-Mexican restaurants in the US: I think the chain was called Carlos Murphy. This was some years back and so maybe doesn’t exist. It was also in the Western states and so I don’t know whether it existed back East. Neither Irish nor Mexican is my...

    Incidentally, I have a cap identical to yours!!! Great minds think alike.

    Irish Fisherman's Sweater

    I have worn Arans with pretty much all of those patterns as I have been wearing these sweaters since - I don’t know - I think I had my first one when I was about 4 years old and I’ve not been without one since then.

    Irish Fisherman's Sweater

    I think of clans as more of a Scottish than Irish phenomenon. I have Scots-Irish heritage but am culturally English and European (sort of the opposite of my Sussex-made Aran sweater!). While I am Irish enough to be able to acquire an Irish passport, that is only because I want to remain a...

    Irish Fisherman's Sweater

    This is very similar to the Aran sweater I bought from Peter Christian last month and absolutely love. It’s made in Sussex (Southern England) but culturally 100% Irish!

    Things that make you smile

    I’m only in my mid-50s but I’m old enough to remember a time when there were strong working class communities with a sense of social solidarity and a tradition of self-help and education: clubs, choirs, evening classes, further education colleges associated with trade unions - and although I am...

    That's it, I'm out. The ADS ARE RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have noticed that logging into FL on my iPhone or my desktop takes longer now - and there are loads more adverts. It really does look downmarket.

    That's it, I'm out. The ADS ARE RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ... Which I always do! Thank you Sir.
