    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    They were, which means that the Outdoor Knitwear version is closest to the WW2 originally even if it scratches and tickles a bit. They were made of sterner stuff ‘back in them days’!!!

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    I’ve had my ecru sub for about 20 years now and have not experienced this, although there is a slight tickling sensation sometimes I suppose. It’s made by Kempton (which owns Outdoor Knitwear) but I bought it at Silverman’s Army Surplus in East London. Recently I acquired a Navy sub from Peter...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I fully agree with you. It matches my experience: I would add to that Indian and African friends here in the UK. A lot of it is because of the obsession with levelling down and ‘anti-elitism’ - and the way in which politicians of all parties now favour the most poorly educated.

    Norwegian Wool Sweaters

    I have been wearing Guernseys since the age of about 7! Recently I ordered a new Navy Guernsey from Guernsey Woollens: I've lost a few pounds and my 20-year old one became too big for me! The Breton Guernsey was bought from P. Christian a few months ago. I notice that Guernsey Woollens do a...

    Norwegian Wool Sweaters

    Thank you for the link. I used to wear Arans a lot but have neglected them over the past few years. I always preferred and still prefer hand knitted - which I think the Peter Christian one is. I like the model as well (in the Peter Christian - mature years, but nice strapping chap!

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I like it and it suits you! I might take a look at Sportsman’s Guide although I have slightly over-spent on sweaters lately.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I'm not quite clear about the colour: I think it's a shade of blue-grey, but it's hard to tell from the light. Are they pure wool?

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    When did you write to them? I’m a bit surprised but I get the impression that they have had a few staff changes recently. They have survived the pandemic and the lockdown (so far) and the general economic and political chaos in our country at present (we are not unique in this of course!)...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I have just acquired from OK a Welbeck version (without patches, that is) of the RAF (Royal Air Force, for the uninitiated) blue Woolly Pully. I already have two versions of the RAF WP, one with just the patches, the other with shoulder straps and pen pocket as well. The Welbeck was custom-made...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Guppy, I’m sorry I haven’t replied to this much earlier but I’ve been having a short break from the Forum. Yesterday I wore my Moss Green Woolly Pully from Outdoor Knitwear. The elbow and shoulder patches are noticeably darker green than the sweater itself - not quite two tone but 1.5 tone, you...
