    I would love to do so - may I ask you the best way to upload photos onto this site, including threads like this one.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    It's been raining and unseasonably cold today and so it's been possible to don a WP for the first time in weeks. I've chosen the black WP, in deference to our American friends. ...

    What missed opportunities do you regret?

    Question for a rainy afternoon, as it is here in London. Have any of you been offered any professional or leisure opportunities that you have later regretted not taking up? To start the discussion: I enjoyed being in the officers' training corps at my boarding school and thought seriously...

    Some like it hot-I don't...

    I love all three seasons, winter, spring and autumn, each for their own distinctive quality, colours, patterns of light, etc. But summer, especially high summer, is the one time of year I can't 'relate' to at all. I think of it as a dress rehearsal for Hell even though of course I don't...

    I have a very large number of wool sweaters of military and nautical provenance and look forward to wearing them again in the autumn!

    North Sea Clothing jumpers

    I have long intended to buy the Outdoor Knitwear navy blue submariners sweater to complement the cream coloured submariners wool roll neck I already have from Silverman's. It's not yet time for sweaters here but with any luck it will be in a few weeks when the hellish heat and humidity is swept...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I've taken a leaf out of your book and worn my black WP for the past couple of early mornings. I know they are worn by many US law enforcement agencies and I think some US Army sections wear them as well. The submariner sweater is a sharp looking item as you say. I have one in my...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Fed, I am envying your air conditioned office. We have far less air conditioning over here and it's often less good quality than in the US. That said, the temperatures in the summer aren't usually as high, but the humidity can be! I look forward to the autumn (Fall in your language) when I can...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    We've had a brief lull or respite over the past few days and I have been able to wear WPs for part of each day. I've been wearing my Dark Grey Mix a lot. I wish you were right about British summer days being cool. I think you're imagining that actually. British summers, especially in the...

    Did I say 'pipe pocket'/ I meant pen pocket of course but I have a friend who calls them pipe pockets and that must have influenced me!

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Overall I'm a bit unimpressed by the new OKW website. It all looks a bit unconvincing as if it's trying to follow certain trends in web design but not succeeding. ... The models are a bit unconvincing too, which is why I was reminded of Brian Mills and other 1970s mail order catalogues. If...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Now that we in the Northern Hemisphere are reluctantly putting our Woolly Pullies away until the Autumn (or Fall), I imagine that our WP friends Down Under are starting to put them to good use.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I hope I'm not being 'British' in not liking change, but to be honest I was quite happy with the old site. The new one is harder to navigate and many of the models are unconvincing. It's trying to be slick and modern, but in fact resembles the Brian Mills catalogues of the 1970s.

    What are "Wolly Pullies"?

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I love dry cold weather - it is my ideal climate, invigorating and (as a great side effect) good for woolly pullies. ... I hope you get a lot of use out of yours.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    It looks very nice and I like your extensive library as well. Surely there are a lot of cool mornings in Illinois in March? It's still just cool enough for Woolly Pullies here, and may it long remain so!

    Nick I think I shall adopt your spelling Woolly Pulley with an extra 'e'. It looks better than 'Pully' somehow. Aidan

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Nick, That's very interesting. I remember the Royal Green Jackets very well. They had a barracks at Winchester, where I grew up, and have a museum in the city centre, very close to where my parents now live. It's a pity that so many of the old regiments have been disbanded or amalgamated...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Nick, I share your sensible taste in woollies - and I prefer the word jumper to sweater, but use the latter word on this site for the benefit of our American friends. I have a lot of fisherman's jumpers as well, especially Guernseys, but it's years since I wore a cricket jumper: I wore them a...
