'Frock'!
While there wasn't an actual page for 'Sweaters, the use of' in King's Regulations, obviously many guys chose to wear them in unheated cockpits
The real-authentic-ohmyGodyougotoneof'em sweater would be the 'frock'. Stores Ref. Number 22G/63. Natural coloured wool, long in the body (to cover your butt), and having a high, non-turtleneck collar.
While many repros are out there that tend to cover both the Navy and Aircrew look, the original frock looks like this:
Paddy was looking for a pattern for it, I'm hoping he is successful so WE CAN ALL GET ONE
