I’m fond of Navy Blue as well (see my other posts on military sweaters and Guernseys). He will do other colours to order if you ask him. He’s not confined to the colours on the website.
I think they’d do a more fitted look if you asked for it. I had a ‘Gansey’ sweater from them some years ago that was more fitted than my black ‘Chunky’, which is enormous!
In another thread I said that I had used OKW's recent discount to buy a Welbeck WP. In fact, I changed my mind at the last minute and chose a black '1945' WP. It's one of their new versions, modelled on the original WW2 and 1950s prototype of the Woolly Pully. I'm wearing it at the moment as I...
This 'backside' discussion also arose in the thread aboutGuernsey sweaters. My submariner (from Silverman's) is a long sweater and does come down over my backside. The same is true, to a lesser extent, with my Guernseys, and with one of the OKW variants of the military Woolly Pully - the one...
We might have touched on this in passing before, but a question for fans of this sweater: when did you get your first Guernsey? I have been wearing them since the age of nine. My first was the standard Navy, of course. I was thrilled with it because of the military associations and because it...
I have the Heather Mix with shoulder and elbow patches - like almost all my WPs. However I do have in my collection the Army, Navy and Black Welbecks without the patches (and so nearer some original WW2 versions) and the Heather Mix completes the collection. I wear them from time to time but...
I'm afraid I've been drawing a blank on the Duffel/Duffle spelling difference, except to say that as a general rule 'Duffle' is applied to bags, 'Duffel' to coats (the design and material of the coat seem to originate in Brabant, which is now part of Belgium). 'Duffle' is also a variant spelling...
It’s ages since I wore my Sou’ Chunky sweater. I pretty much live in military Woolly Pullies or Guernseys during the cooler months but my black Chunky made by Pete has been neglected for some time. Oddly O dreamed about wearing it the other night - a sign that I should do so this winter! It’s...
I wasn't all that interested in Cricket at school but liked wearing the jumpers. I played it once or twice for the House. Rugby I played throughout my time at school for House and sometimes school teams.
Today it's raining so heavily that a Cricket game would definitely be rained off. That...
