All meant in good fun. Sounds like a really nice one and would love to see it.

Fading Fast - Sorry for the teaser (no pic). Here's a pic of the sweater. It's a hefty piece of wool! I snagged her off eBay for $57 bucks. Honestly, I don't think she's ever been worn

My Brigade Quartermasters Wooly Pully, which I think works very well with my Barbour Beaufort.

This is a black v-neck version. Any suggestions on what type of shirt pairs best with this wooly pully? I opted for a cotton flannel tattersall today.

Thank you for posting the pic, that is a gorgeous sweater. The texture and "heft" look fantastic. Also, thanks for being such a great sport. Enjoy your wonderful sweater. Best, FF

Great looking sweater - it's a really, really good one. I think your instinct for matching was spot on as you need a shirt with texture (like the flannel you chose) to stand up to the sweater's bulk and texture. An OCBD would also work as would a wool flannel one (as long as the colors clearly contrasted the sweater, hence, no black, navy or dark shirts - IMHO).

Hello
I am new in this topic. I would like to establish, which companies produced jumpers and jersey for the British MoD. It is about contractual sweaters.
So far I managed to establish such producers wooly pully, that is Pattern 1955 and Jersey Man Heavy:
SD & Ltd. – years 50., 60.
Turner & Jarvis Ltd. – years 60.70.
Remploy - years 70., 80., 90.
TW Kempton/TWK/ - years 70., 80., 90.
J.Pick & Sons – years 60., 80., 90.
Cooneen Watts and Stone Ltd – years 00., 10. XXI cent.,
Before M.O.D. he started ordering JMH, they produced the previous model of the Pattern 1944 v-neck sweater:
Adler & Co? – years 40.
L. Blank Ltd.? – years 40.
H.K.Ltd – years 40.
Cooper & Roe Ltd. – years 50.
H.&E. Ltd.– years 50.
SD&S Ltd. – years 40.,50.
For you producers produced Seamans/ Jersey Man’s Blue:
S. D. & S. LTD. – years 70.
J.G +Co. – years 90.
Remploy – years 90.
If somebody had sweaters of different producers – or exchanged, however produced in different years - politely I ask the producer for passing the brand, of year of the production (if is) and if necessary of number of the contract.
Thank you very much for the help.
I am greeting

TW Kempton/TWK/ also has brands, Outdoor Knitwear/Niffi/Woollyback.

So. Little they are writing about their history.
It is a quotation from their website:
“T W Kempton (Corporate Clothing) Limited was formed as an independent company in 1989, but its roots go back over 75 years as it was previously the specialist military knitwear division of a larger group.”

Today I’m enjoying wearing my Army Woolly Pully over a Rugger shirt. The combination is keeping me warm as toast.

My 15 + sweaters have been sitting in my closet. San Diego has had an extremely mild winter Hoping the moths don't bite before next season.

You can look forward to them in the Fall. Still very much Woolly Pully weather here.

Wore a Standun fisherman knit today to stave off the dawn chill; however, Chicago's mercurial mix evidenced winter's ebb
and the feint breeze of spring could clearly be felt. Will break out some of the lighter stock this weekend and hopefully gain
a few weeks added wear before folding away the season. I have been considering a cardigan: heavy knit, leather buttons, felt elbow patches
just for office wear-something to accompany a step outside the building with my rustic curved English briar pipe and leather pouch filled with
Frog Morton Virginia leaf. Also noticed dated photos of WWI era athletic sweater vintage with high wrap collar. A superb knit.
Saw Eisenhower in one such pix sporting his Army football letter sweater of similar type.
Definitely on sweater safari this spring.

I am in an Army WP now and will change into a Navy Roll Neck WP later, with a Navy Seamans Jumper underneath.

I'm interested by the athletic sweater vintage and wonder if you have a link to the Eisenhower photo.

a Navy Seamans Jumper underneath.

... Bought on eBay from Seaman Staines.

[For Americans, that's an allusion to the 'Captain Pugwash' cartoon series in the late 70s/early 80s]

That was not the only character in that programme with a "double entendre". There were also similar suspects in the "Magic Roundabout" and "The Magic Dragon",. That being a "Psychedelic" age.

Actually, there never was a Seaman Staines in Captain Pugwash. Nor was there Master Bates or Roger the Cabin Boy. These were, unfortunately, just urban myths and the real names were far more innocuous. But the mythical names have stood the test of time.
