dit dah said:Yes it is a size 1 and yes you're right, it's still pretty tent like. Must have been some pretty big Sailors! I intend to eat my own body weight over the festive period in an attempt to "grow" into it, especially as all the recent Irvins for sale have been big 'ens.

How I wish you had been on the forum when I was dispersing my humble collection of that very garement...
dit dah said:The J. Pick & Son's jumper arrived yesterday. Wonderful, and rather a nice companion to the surplus duffle I eventually managed to find in a small size and which arrived today.
I'd read about the difference in quality in the genuine issue duffles but was still amazed at the weight of the coat, hope we get a cold winter.

Can't do the Stirling thing (though I do think of him when looking at my coat, duffle) or I'll have doright abseiling through my bloody window with an F-S Knife, Fighting (1st Pattern)
OK so the coat & jumper are a bit of a cliche together but hey, it's probably so unhip it's ironic.
I'm certainly not taking any photos of them now

taggers said:Hello chaps.
Have recieved my WPG jumper.
First impressions are that it's not got the reinforcement and has the cheapest, nastiest label sewn into it. But it seems to fit just right.
So I'm happy. Scratchy as all Hades of course.
Oh, and it's marked "Dry Clean Only". Yeah, as they say, right.
