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 knitYesterday I ordered the Schott sweater you liked but in the Navy and not the grey that they aren't making any more.
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!By the way,
this is what a "Submariner" from Aero looks like...maybe these might be considerable.
Cheers

I grabbed a Donegal Merino sweater for 65,- pounds some time ago.
Makeover of fall season wardrobe is almost completed.

I really like this one. Where did you get it?!
Hi Turnip,These are my pix, I will make a little review within this week, promised.
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.
Cheers

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

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!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.

That’s what they look like.
I'm afraid I am going to have to get one of these!!!That’s what they look like.
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.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.
Is that a repro of an actual French peacoat?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.

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