Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

I've tried and found the image appears sideways! Is there a way to rotate it?
Cheers.

You need to edit it in a photo editing program which should be on your computer. You simply click on the rotate button then save it to your desktop.

Try rotating the image by 45 degrees before you post, then it may appear correctly on here?

This is an Italian military surplus commando sweaters from Sportsmans Guide. I always have liked military surplus wps because I was a poor boy in college and the ones I had in the Army got me through my college years.

Is it wool or nylon?

... And I am wearing the aforementioned Navy roollneck WP with epps and pen pocket added by special request by OKW.

I like the idea of the above mentioned roollneck. New style?

It’s a one off because I made a special request for Epps and pen pocket. Will do the same when I order a Heather Mix rollneck!

Do all woolly pullys have velcro on the epaulettes ? I wonder how they perform after a few washes ?

I wore Woolly Pullies all through my university years as well.

No. Some do not have epaulets. I have a military surplus British wp. It has. I have had it over a decade. No problem with the epaulets.

Its a wool blend. Not 100% wool.

Yes. I like wearing it.

Agree with Mush here. I have several WPs with epps, several without! Never had a problem.

Velcro, the most evil invention and the enemy of wool!!!
Yesterday I was enjoying the hell out of my Aero/Irish sweater in the sub zero temp in NY, but also sporting a very different kind of gear, a pair of husky fingerless work gloves, fasten at the wrist with velcro.

The velcro stuck to my sweater cuff and roughed it out bad, an otherwise non-piling sweater now looks all fuzzy... I'm so pissed.

The stupid velcro even stuck to the back of the glove itself

Then you must try a Woolly Pully which is more resilient - and available without the velcro straps.
Some day I really should ask for a commission from Outdoor Knitwear!

An example of Sod's Law!
