    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Just to confirm as I have now checked the website: the sage-like colour is still listed as Heather Mix.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    @Peacoat : yes, the heather supplied by OKW is bit more of a sage colour, considerably lighter than Peat Brown but darker than Sand (the desert warfare colour). I have two heather WPs - I think the colour is actually called Heather Mix. One is the Patchless variety, the other is the standard WP...

    Today it has been the turn of my Peat Brown WP. I think that @Peacoat has one of a similar colour (or color in US English)

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Yes, mine is the same model as your 1977 version and they were a bit thicker back then. I have wool coats as well and have worn WPs under them. However a WP or Guernsey under a Barbour is often enough in our climate as it does not usually get as cold (or as hot) here as in much of the US. The...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I have certainly heard of the Tennessee Titans. Bad luck about Sunday. As I said, I find WPs perfect under a Barbour jacket for watching winter sports. And, when I played Rugger at school and university, I would wear a WP for the match tea afterwards, as did some of the other chaps. Today was...

    Which NFL team do you support? I agree: WPs are great for watching sports in cold weather - or donning after playing cold weather sports .

    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.

    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...

    An Iranian Commando from the later years of the Shah’s regime. He is wearing the late 60s/mid 70s version of the British WP, with reinforced rather than turn back cuffs , larger shoulder patches and patches covering most of the lower arm rather than just the elbow. My first WP, as a schoolboy...

    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...
