    That’s interesting. I didn’t know Cabellas in the US made a WP.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I have to be honest and say that I am quite curious about this now. Would you be able to post a photo of this WP?

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I didn’t realise they made a version of the WP. This explains the slight discrepancy in colour and the closeness to my Peat Brown WP.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Is your khaki an old WP and is it British or US issue? My first WP when I was a mere schoolboy in the mid-70s was closer to khaki than olive, as were all British Army WPs at the time. Two years later I replaced it with an olive version, which had become the standard issue by then. The Peat...

    I, like you, have the full range except for the Bond which I intend to get next time I order from OKW. But I have the WW2 version, which has the string/shoelace.

    That’s what I would have guessed and I would do the same.

    I thought you would probably agree with me - although it’s a difficult choice. Fortunately we don’t have to make it in real life. I wonder what other chaps will opt for.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    For those of us who have more than one Woolly Pully in different colours (e.g. Army olive; Navy Blue and Air Force Blue): if you could keep only one of them, which would it be? This is a difficult question for me as I have the whole colour range of them. However, although I probably wear the...

    Yes, WP weather has come. I have worn RAF Blue and Navy so far. …

    Is it wrong to stay in a hotel when I visit my elderly parents?

    Thank you very much for that. To be brutally honest, I didn’t feel very ‘blessed’ on my last visit because communication was so bad and my mother has become so verbally aggressive. I would like to feel blessed again, of course, and genuinely wish to help. I think the distance of a hotel would...

    Is it wrong to stay in a hotel when I visit my elderly parents?

    This is a question I am discussing with my partner, my friends and now my online community at FL. I have recently returned to London from a visit to my parents, aged 91 (father) and 87 (mother), who live in a cathedral city in central Southern England. I am a 56 year old man: my partner is a...

    I can hardly wait for the return of WP weather. Summer is a rehearsal for Hell.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    These are all the same WP. The effect of the light on the middle image makes it look like the standard Army version, which is described as olive green but is almost bordering on khaki. Earlier versions including the first one I had back in the 70s (at the tender age of 11) were more khaki in...

    New Peat Brown WP for my collection. Too hot to wear now but look forward to Fall.

    I always do my best. … I hope I didn’t offend any of the American chaps as they can be a bit more puritanical. … Mind you, they gave us the flatulent cowboy scene in ‘Blazing Saddles’, which is now a classic.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    That is a great story my friend: the heroic absurdity of everyday life. It is hilarious in a way, despite being so painful, and I get the impression that you do see the comical side of it? I’m sorry you’ve been “hors de combat” for several months, but now that you are better it is time to get...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Outdoor Knitwear had a 10% discount over the weekend and I used it to buy a new Peat Brown WP to replace the old and threadbare one I have had for many years. Several years back, I was wearing the Peat Brown version and a chap I work with asked me about it. I told him a tall story: they are...
