    Guernsey jumper

    Good morning Corvo, I'm glad to heart you purchased a Guernsey. I'm assuming from your blog that you chose the 'New Natural', i.e. Desert Rat colour. Looking forward tothe photos. I am in the process of moving and when I have finished I shall post some myself. Guernsey Knitwear was a good...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    The black one is all-purpose and can go with almost anything. I wear mine with corduroys or moleskins. I often wear the olive with a green barbour jacket.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Indeed, Sir. Everyone dressed differently but still in unform is typically British, I'm afraid. I am glad you've been issued ith a new woolly pully - keep wearing it! [Though I have to confess I've worn three versions this week - black, olive (Army) and today RAF blue.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    That's my understanding - they are no longer general issue but are an optional item. Therefore we - both civilian and military men - must keep buying and wearing them! It's my junch that fleeces are starting to go the way of shell suits and there is a steady trend back towards wool. So it's...

    One of the best aspects of the commando sweater is the turn-back cuffs. On my US Army black woolly pully they are rolled back about 6", which looks great.

    Yes, I have the black version (wool, crew neck) as well. In fact, I am wearing it today as it happens.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Some really good quality products there. If I weren't already well-stocked I would order one. I might anyway - just to have the honour of wearing a genuine USMC sweater.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I have never seen them on females - I have always thought of commando sweaters as a very 'masculine' garment. So I can only ake your word for it about girls and agree with you about chaps. I have several of them- olive green, rifle green, navy blue, air force blue, black. But then I've...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I am wearing a new, recently acquired woolly pully crew neck - the standard design but instead of green or blue it's black. (Pure ribbed wool, of course - not acrylic, which I would never wear). MY understanding is that the black version is warn by the USMC - and in the recent past was...

    Guernsey jumper

    Any other fans of the Guernsey? Any other fans of the Guernsey wool sweater? I am something of a collector of them - most often found in the standar navy blue, but I have just about every colour available - apart from Aran, and I shall acquire that this autumn. Ilove the rugged masculinity...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I agree with you. They don't 'breathe' like wool and other natural fibres. A acrylic militay sweaters look fake! By the way, someone on this thread was asking about Norwegian military sweaters - thick ribbed wool with button collar and the arm extending into a glove. There's one on...
