    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    The USAF sweater is Like our RAF Woolly Pully - the same ribbed wool, the same light blue colour (I have seen them in the States and have an American friend who wears one). They are usually v-neck, whereas ours can be either v or crew necked. I wear my RAF sweater quite frequently. Is the...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Thank you for those two Aero reviews.The Donegal is quite a lot lighter and as you say 'fluffier' than the Submariner. The Submariner is very similar to the Outdoor Knitwear sub. but slightly lighter, I think, and less overtly military although it has a strong military hint. It's a stylish...

    Irish Fisherman's Sweater

    This looks a nice store - I’m afraid I could buy quite a lot there in both coat and sweater departments (they have some nice fishermen’s sweaters).

    Irish Fisherman's Sweater

    Certainly they were available in the UK. As I said, I had the Army version when I was a student and probably bought it in an Army surplus store. I shall have to have a look as I am seriously interested in the Navy version.

    Irish Fisherman's Sweater

    Are the German Navy sweaters dark blue versions of the olive Bundeswehr sweater which is a tighter knit than our Woolly Pullies and has a pocket on the chest? I had one of those years ago when I was a student and used to wear it for an occasional change from the British Woolly Pullies!

    Irish Fisherman's Sweater

    I have had a Submariner from Outdoor Knitwear’s predecessor company for about 20 years now - I bought it at Silverman’s, East London rather than direct from OKW. It’s ecru and I shall match it with the Navy version (which I did have but it reached the end of its life). I shall either get it from...

    Is this yours or a photo taken from the website? If it’s yours could you please give it a brief review? I like it and might add it to my sweater collection!

    Dave Brandstetter detective series

    I hadn't heard of these novels but saw them mentioned in an article I read a couple of weeks ago about 1970s crime fiction. I like the idea of Dave Brandstetter as the ruggedly masculine PI who is contentedly gay but it's no big deal - even back then. These novels are not well known in the UK...

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    I am thinking of my next linguistic challenge! During the lockdown I have been working through a Teach Yourself Malay course. In my part of London we have a large and growing West African population and so I often hear Yoruba and Akan. There are also a few Lingala speakers from both Congo...

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    Off-topic, I admit, but which of the Southern African languages is most accessible (I know they’re all ‘difficult’) for an English speaker to learn? I presume that it is Zulu rather than Xhosa?

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    Very interesting. I would like to visit both places and I have remote relations in Jo’burg. I have read a few books about the Zulu Sangoma healers.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Not the season for WPs unfortunately (except for a few fleeting hours of cooler weather) - although there might be a few readers in the Southern Hemisphere. However there is a 20% off offer from Outdoor Knitwear until June 19th.
