    Black Sheep Sweater just arrived

    https://www.blacksheepknitwear.com/products/sm01-smuggler I posted the above on another sweater thread: I am seriously thinking of getting this one - the natural light grey version - although I already have an almost embarrassing number of (mainly military) wool sweaters.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    First day of the year and I'm enjoying my Army WP. Good way to start. ...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    A few years ago I started a thread about how much I disliked the 'Regards' signature, a relic of the 1950s which had at that time suddenly returned to work-related letters and especially emails here in the UK. Unfortunately I upset a Midwesterner who was certain that Regards was the only valid...

    Best Manly Sweater

    That is very, very nice! It has a lot in common with the Guernsey. I also love the shade of green. A very welcome Xmas present for you, I am sure. It goes on my short-list (although I am running out of room to store all my 'manly sweaters').

    Guernsey jumper

    I'm enjoying wearing my oatmeal ('New Natural') Guernsey today, as worn by the Desert Rats! I think it's the Army associations of this sweater that give it the edge. ...

    Best Manly Sweater

    That's very nice indeed Amir. I have a US Army Engineers' sweater knocking about somewhere that's similar style but a sort of golden-brown colour.

    School and college sports

    I have some sympathy with what Edward has said because, yes, there was too much emphasis on sport when I was at school. However looking back on the overall experience, I'm glad it was an all-male environment because boys/young men learn better as a group and with older men as instructors. This...

    Guernsey jumper

    https://www.blacksheepknitwear.com/collections/sweaters-for-men-and-women/products/sm01-smuggler Yet another possibility for this winter: I did have one very like it years ago and it's got a nice rugged manly quality. For late winter, early spring and Fall.

    As I said in my previous post, it wasn't that we didn't get along. It was just that he was quite formal, exact and literal-minded in his approach and this made me more inclined to be cheeky. He was relatively young and had the same sartorial taste as me: he usually wore corduroy trousers and a...

    I admire you for being so fit at your age - an inspiration to us all.

    Guernsey jumper

    This year my interest in Guernseys has revived and I've worn them on quite a few occasions: usually Navy, Oatmeal or Army green. Fortunately I can wear a sweater at work and this Fall/Winter I've been alternating between Guernseys and My trademark Woolly Pully commando sweaters.

    Best Manly Sweater

    Flyhalf_Keith, I very much agree. I'm a great fan of Norwegian wool sweaters and have a few of them in my wardrobe. Great for outdoor wear and feel great too.

    It's the sort of afternoon here - damp, grey, drizzle - when we would hope a Rugger match would be rained off but almost invariably wasn't! We often had to continue in pouring rain. ...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I have been wearing my Navy and Dark Grey Mix WPs a lot over the past few weeks. I'm thinking of getting the Purple Mix with epps and pen pocket.

    WWII/old-fashioned military slang for passing gas.

    B.P n Bad Patrol - from the gas generated by fear during military combat.

    Guernsey jumper

    I notice that the word 'twink' has quite a rich history: there's even a 'backronym' - I think it's 'twenties, white, into no kinks'. It is, it transpires, British in origin, although it is now used in the States. The founder is a great model for the sweater - I am going to go for the...

    Guernsey jumper

    The company founder is a far better advert for the sweater than most of the twinks used as male models these days. He's rugged, manly, outdoorsy: what could be better, especially for this type of product. I hope you're wearing your sweater with great enjoyment. It's a nice Woolly Pully day...

    Perhaps the sweater was held captive until it was able to answer the question: 'what is Aleppo?'

    Very, very nice ... and as you say substantial!

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Am enjoying the Patchless Black WP I ordered from OKW as part of their 15% off offer. Very versatile sweater.
