US navy wool GOB sweater

[azeeze312]

Anyone wear US NAVY “GOB” wool sweater? If so let’s see em! Not an item talked about often! I’ve seen that Eastman makes a nice one! The Bronson one looks okay , some of the knit work seems a little bit off compared to originals, but I haven’t handled many so I don’t have much knowledge in that .

I just received a Bronson one. I am not much of a historian, but I can say that the Bronson is a very nice feeling sweater. Heavy and a great fit, feels like good material. I will see how it holds up. Though I bought it used and it’s in good condition thus far.

Not much talk about the Navy GOB sweaters. I wasn't even sure what they are. Found a photo of one online. Looks to to be a clean and functional piece of kit.
