Who makes a good submarine/RAF sweater?

[fishmeok]

I've been looking for a good repro of the classic RAF/RN white turtleneck sweater- who makes a good repro? Has anyone bought the one from What Price Glory?

They were the original Navy surplus ones? If so, I got one years ago and someone is darning a hole (which I carelessly caused) in the shoulder blade - I can take a pic if you like, but do a SEARCH - there was a thread about this about three-four months back.

Thanks for the link- I didn't realize there was a difference between the RN deck sweater and the RAF frock.
Questions answered!

Allmost brought tears to me eyes. Story, you found my first post in FL.

Anyone have a pic of the frock? This discussion has really piqued my interest.

Mojave - you can see it in the old posts. Link to them in Story's post.

I'd like to find a replacement for my dark blue SAS sweater. I bought it in Europe about 25 years ago. My wife threw it in the washing machine shortly after we got married, upon which I almost divorced her. I have not been able to find an authentic replacement. The ones issued today don't look the same.

Don't know about SAS sweaters, but have you had a look on this one:

It's dark blue at least
