    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Yes, I got that as well! But nothing yet about the 'WW2" Woolly Pully. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything!

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Welcome to the select club of WP enthusiasts. I have a Black Welbeck among my collection. Having worn these sweaters for decades, I have not experienced a pilling problem with them.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Great minds think alike as I wore an OD commando sweater all yesterday. I’m wearing the Navy version today. Like you I like coarse wool fishermen’s sweaters. Black Sheep Knitwear make some good ones and I’ve owned a few over the years.

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    Very good idea!!!

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I already have a lot of commando sweaters/Woolly Pullies, some of which have accoutrements such as epaulettes or pen pockets, others not. The first ones I wore back in the 70s didn't have either of these features and I agree with you about liking this simplicity: I say this wearing an Army WP...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I’m planning to get a new WP with epaulettes and pen pocket. The only ones I don’t have in this form are Purple Mix, Sand, Heather Mix and Moss Green (bottle green - a few shades darker than Army olive). Any thoughts, chaps?

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    Nice to meet someone else who shares my sense of humour (or humor if you’re in the US).

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    I'll take that as a compliment. It's not really lowering the tone of the forum. I just enjoy farting.

    OKW have a 15% Easter (or Passover) offer: I’m currently deciding which WP to add to the collection.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Guernseys have been fishermen's and sailors sweaters since, I think, the 1600s. I like wearing them and did so several times during the recent cold snap. My preference is for those with military associations: the Navy, of course, the olive Army (worn by several regiments), the New...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    The Canadian commando sweater is very similar to our Moss Green from Outdoor Knitwear. I have one of these and have owned quite a few over the years.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Very nice! I have several tartan shirts like this which I often wear with a Navy WP. I acquired a recent variant on the theme from Levi's which is described as 'Chinese Red' but is really like a traditional tartan shirt. I too am in a Navy WP today but crew neck with epps and pen pocket.

    Actually, there never was a Seaman Staines in Captain Pugwash. Nor was there Master Bates or Roger the Cabin Boy. These were, unfortunately, just urban myths and the real names were far more innocuous. But the mythical names have stood the test of time.

    ... Bought on eBay from Seaman Staines. [For Americans, that's an allusion to the 'Captain Pugwash' cartoon series in the late 70s/early 80s]

    RAF WP today! Wore Navy rollback several times over the past few days.

    I'm interested by the athletic sweater vintage and wonder if you have a link to the Eisenhower photo.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Agreed, though an interesting diversion. I've also worn a commando sweater for the last few days but tomorrow will switch to an Irish fisherman knit. It was raining this morning when I left my flat with a temperature drop so I grabbed my camel Gloverall duffle. I also find it an interesting...
