    'Vintage' things you wouldn't bring back, but wish you'd seen?

    I Went to the Zeppelin museum in Southern Germany some years ago, it was fascinating and alarming, as they had a smoking section, but you had to get a steward to light your cigarette/cigar/pipe etc as the zeppelin was full of highly flammable gas.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I would say that Bottle Green has a slight blueish tinge, whereas Moss Green is just very green, quite verdant. I think Bottle Green is a much older shade, I do remember seeing them occasionally on men in the late 1970s / 1980s in Crew neck versions. I have had a Vee Neck one of these for some...

    Further to above posts, I have now emailed Peter at SWC, he has replied, it is a bit complicated, but for a number of reasons, partly CV, they are not making Chunkies right at this moment, hopefully things will change in the not too distant future. He said he would let me know.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    If you bought the sweater new from a supplier, then surely they should replace the damaged one with a new sweater, however I guess if it was from a second hand establishment, then they may shown signs of previous wear.
