That's very nice indeed Amir. I have a US Army Engineers' sweater knocking about somewhere that's similar style but a sort of golden-brown colour.
As far as "Manly" goes' my nomination goes to this mans namesake:

The Marius sweater...
This is Marius Eriksen of Norway. He has traditional areas of "manly" covered: Spitfire Ace, POW, Ski Champ.
He also gets manly marks for being secure enough to wear what amounts to a very busy, colorful sweater with effortless grace.
This Simon James Cathcart (SJC) "Boneshaker" looks pretty great!

I stopped looking at the SJC stuff as it seemed everything had skull and crossbones on it, but this is great.
Re. the North Sea Clothing site: I have The Engineer and am very tempted by The Explorer and also the Service Roll Neck to add to my extensive military collection.
I like it very much. It’s comfortable, durable, warm without being too hot (it ‘breathes’ nicely) and I like the style. I also enjoy the historical associations with the US Engineers in WW2 and the immediate post-War era. I don’t wear it as often as it deserves; it gets pushed out of the way by my Commando sweaters (Woolly Pullies). It’s certainly worth getting.I've been able to find an engineer (pull-over WW2 A1 mechanic style) sweater for sale online but am having trouble deciding if I should indeed pull the trigger on purchasing it. Do you have any thoughts on the sweater?

I've found someone selling theirs in my size for 65USD brand new with the bag and letter + the box. It sure seems like a good deal. If you don't mind me asking, how do you wear it? Since it is a unique style of sweater, I just wanted to know how I might be able to incorporate it into my style.
They look very good and I’ve got myself on their mailing list.Filson pullover crew neck sweaters. The USA made one that I own is heavier than most, if not all, jackets that I own and close to as heavy as some of my coats. It’s like wool chain mail.
