Irish Fisherman's Sweater

[Peacoat]

Yesterday I ordered the Schott sweater you liked but in the Navy and not the grey that they aren't making any more.

Excellent. They have a great deal on their ivory colored cable knit sweater maybe two photos to the left of it $50. As steal of a deal. The other day I ordered one of their new wool CPO shirts to make up for not having my size in a grey cable knit

Very cool!



I grabbed a Donegal Merino sweater for 65,- pounds some time ago.

Makeover of fall season wardrobe is almost completed.

By the way,

this is what a "Submariner" from Aero looks like...maybe these might be considerable.

Is this yours or a photo taken from the website? If it’s yours could you please give it a brief review? I like it and might add it to my sweater collection!

This pic is from Aero and so is the sweater. If you like I can make a few live pix of this one as well once I write some words about the Submariner.

Hi Turnip,
Thanks. I really look forward to the live pics of the Aero and the review of the Submariner.

I can vouch for the quality of a Submariner from Outdoor Knitwear. They are extremely well made. The Wooly Poolys with the suede and tweed patches not so much.

I have had a Submariner from Outdoor Knitwear’s predecessor company for about 20 years now - I bought it at Silverman’s, East London rather than direct from OKW. It’s ecru and I shall match it with the Navy version (which I did have but it reached the end of its life). I shall either get it from OKW or Aero: I liked the one that Turnip has!
OKW is my go-to for the standard Woolly Pully. I think the Highland versions are a bit Celtic Kitsch and not quite as good quality or value as the standard military sweater.

Maybe Paul&Shark might be worth a look.

Edith: The uniform sweaters I wore serving the German Navy about 30 years ago have already been specified to be produced from a 80/20 mix. These are still the standard Navy sweaters so should be available at the usual suspects for a small price tag.

Are the German Navy sweaters dark blue versions of the olive Bundeswehr sweater which is a tighter knit than our Woolly Pullies and has a pocket on the chest? I had one of those years ago when I was a student and used to wear it for an occasional change from the British Woolly Pullies!

Yes they are, I have one of each.

 

[Turnip]

That’s what they look like.

By the way, French Pea Coat arrived, it’s quite nice and I will keep it as an autumn jacket to replace my Berwick.
French sailors must be tiny men though. Picking my standard size it fits me like a made-to-measured but no way room enough around shoulders and arm to add a thick sweater or so.

On the other hand side we used to wear these in the Navy anyway with a Donald Duck shirt only, first or second fiddle.

So I’ll wear it with a shirt or thin jumper. Fabric and coat is quite heavy, what appears to make it pretty wind resistant and water repellent.

I'm afraid I am going to have to get one of these!!!

 

[Turnip]

Are the available in UK?
At this end you could order these at army shops you can find in almost any bigger city, and so through Mr.Bezo ´s platform.

Certainly they were available in the UK. As I said, I had the Army version when I was a student and probably bought it in an Army surplus store. I shall have to have a look as I am seriously interested in the Navy version.

Is that a repro of an actual French peacoat?

This is a Cap Sizun from Armor Lux, French company, made in France.

This looks a nice store - I’m afraid I could buy quite a lot there in both coat and sweater departments (they have some nice fishermen’s sweaters).
