When I was in the US Army stationed in Germany in the early 1980s we refered to those British style wool "commando" sweaters with the fabric epaulets and elbow patches as wooly-pullies. We were not permitted to wear them with our uniforms as they were not issue. They were popular however, especially after BDUs were introduced. The woodland camoflage wooly-pully went particularly well under the BDU blouse and provied layered warmth when a field jacket was too much. Eventually, the Army, in its infinite wisdom, listened to the soldiers in the field and adopted an all-black wooly-pully as a piece of optional uniform, for the Class-A uniform, and not the for the field.
