    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Great minds think alike Fox. I am wearing my olive green WP today! Also I have one of the desert ‘sand’ versions and dig it out occasionally. I get it about the Globe by the way!

    Lt Col. Colin “Mad Mitch” Mitchell, with unnamed Officer in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, 1968. The unnamed chap is wearing a desert Woolly Pully; this was the late stage of the Aden Emergency in what is now southern Yemen.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I agree with you Fox. I was also aware of the Israeli-manufactured Uzi; it is historically interesting because it reminds us of a vet different relationship between Iran and Israel at that time. But we are not allowed to talk about politics. … It’s a great photo of the Iranian chap and nice to...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I second @Peacoat Go for the original WP from Outdoor Knitwear. Along with my collection of original WPs, I have one of OKW’s products , The 1945, which is quite similar to The Bond. It is a replica of the WWII British military sweater.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I like to wear a WP under a jacket or coat but I also often wear them on their own inside the house; it saves a lot on heating costs and is good for the planet!

    Do you therefore never wear your WP indoors or indeed sitting outside without a coat?

    Hello Chaps, It’s WP weather again in many areas of the Northern Hemisphere (I am pleased to say after this horrible scorching ‘El Niño’ year). I have already worn mine on several occasions and look forward to more of the same. Outdoor Knitwear www.outdoorknitwear.com have a 15% offer on: code...

    Anyone else hating the hot weather

    I feel extremely envious of belfastboy in Western Canada, Lizzie in Maine and tonyb wherever he is in North America. ‘Raw and Octobery’: bring it on.’ ‘Summer shows up in July’: my kind of place. …

    Anyone else hating the hot weather

    On this side of the Pond (the UK), summer has arrived with a vengeance, with gentle spring days and cool nights giving way to heat and seemingly interminable bright light. I have suffered from seasonal depression in summer for many years - I come alive again in autumn /Fall and love three out of...

    Norwegian Wool Sweaters

    I love them as well - I had my first one (classic Navy) aged seven, back in the early 1970s. I have had them all my life since then, usually owning several of them. I have a fair number of them now, including Navy and Army (olive) green. Do you still have any of yours? As for the length, a...

    Norwegian Wool Sweaters

    As this thread has come to be as much about Guernseys as Norwegian sweaters, I am posting some photos of my new Cinnamon Guernsey: we’re out of the season for woollies now, but I look forward to giving it a lot of wear in the Fall and Winter.
