    I hope you have continued to wear them every since.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    ... And may it stay that way. My favourite words during this accursed season are: 'Roll on September'.

    I want a real sweater.

    Agreed. I have two Norwegian wool sweaters and they have lasted for many, many years.

    I want a real sweater.

    Thanks very much for that. I am thinking about getting a cream or off-white hand-knitted Aran for the autumn/winter (looking forward to those seasons already). I haven't worn one for some years now as I've concentrated on wooolly pullies, Guernseys, submariners, etc.. Any other recommendations...

    I want a real sweater.

    Can you point me towards an Inverallan sweater website? I am interested.

    I want a real sweater.

    I find this really hard to understand as I've worn a succession of woolly pullies since I was 11 (I'm now 47) and found them unmatched in comfort and ruggedness. It's possible to get them in a range of colours from Outdoor Knitwear and so I have several and really enjoy wearing them regularly...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Another advantage of the cold weather. I am really enjoying it. I have also seen a local postman wearing a Navy v-neck WP. Best wishes, Aidan (in peat brown crew neck WP!)

    They are indeed great sweaters and one of the advantages of the cold weather is the opportunity to wear nice Knitwear.

    Thanks for that very useful advice. Best wishes, Aidan

    That's great. I might get one myself. I have a bottle green Guernsey which I always like wearing - it's a good colour.

    I shall be getting out my Sou'West chunkie tomorrow I think. It's getting to that temperature - and the chunkies are warmer than my usual Army sweaters or Guernseys.

    Very nice. I hope the bottle green arrived safely.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    We're all united on this thread in finding the Woolly Pully (a.k.a. Commando Sweater) somewhat special. I wonder what it is that makes us like them so much: is it the ribbed wool, the cuffs, the patches, the general timeless elegance or the military associations. For me it is a combination...

    Thanks Stephen. That's really good advice.

    I shall do that. He is a very nice helpful chap.

    Yes, mine has turn-back cuffs, but I'd like ones that turned back further. I shall ask about it. What colours would you recommend?

    That sounds very good. I shall have to think about the next colour. I have black/dark grey and chocolate brown at the moment.

    Yes, my Gansey has those as well. I had in mind a Chunkie with long turn-back cuffs rather like those of a military 'woolly pully'.

    Looks great on you.

    I wonder if Peter would make me a Chunkie or a Gansey with turn-back cuffs - as that's the one thing I miss about the two (one of each) that I have. They are really excellent fishermen's sweaters.
