Description
These British Army pull-overs (or woolly pully from back in the day) were originally designed in WWII and issued to the British SAS and Bomber Command. The design was so popular that iterations are still being manufactured in modern times, such as the ones we have here. Also known as a 'Commando Sweater' in North America. Though British speaking countries of the world generally stick to the use of 'jumper' or 'jersey'.
Worn by many military personnel from WWII up until the present day. Truly a timeless and popular design. They are a comfortable rib knit sweater with a snug, yet stretchy fit for good freedom of movement. Made from moisture wicking and warm wool. Durable poly/cotton reinforcements protect the elbows, forearms and shoulder areas that will add years of good hard use to the jumper.

- EJEd J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8 hours agoAnother satisfactory item
I have been buying UK surplus from Army and Outdoors in NZ, from my home on Vancouver Island BC. It arrives here quicker than anything I order from the UK or even from other parts of Canada. The items are also as advertised or better. I really am blown away by how slick these guys are and will be continuing to buy from them!
This sweater is warm even when wet (wool!) and has been placed into my Marine SAR go-bag for extra warmth on cold nights on the water (hopefully not in the water).

New, warm
- RERonald E.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 month agoGreat fitting Jersey.
Glad I read previous customer feedback at time of purchase as it helped me choose a larger size which fits perfectly.
The Wool rich fabric is quite stretchy and shrinks around the torso.
Only annoyance is a small hole at the back of the collar (which I intend to get patched up relatively easily).

Was notified size 136cm jumper was in stock. Lucky to order 2. I received 2 beautiful examples of British Army Issue wool jumper. They were better than I expected and I want to thank you because size 136cm is very hard to find.
