100% Wool. Commonly known as jumpers, jerseys, or pullovers, this is the standard issue V-neck sweater issued to all British soldiers.
Can the sweater be adjusted for a better fit?
Yes, the sweater can be adjusted for a better fit. Some sweaters arrive baggy and are deliberately shrunk in a hot wash to achieve a better fit. Conversely, some sweaters are initially tight and can be wet and stretched out to fit perfectly.
How durable is the sweater?
The sweater is generally durable, with some wearing one daily for over a year. Consistent wear can lead to holes, particularly in the elbows. These holes can be patched with leather to extend the life of the garment.
What are the typical uses for this sweater?
The sweater is used for reenactments, including DAK reenacting. It is also worn as a casual fashion item, suitable for everyday wear over a t-shirt or to the office. The V-neck is not too deep, making it versatile.
How does the sweater fit over other layers?
A large size fits perfectly over a desert shirt, allowing a size 42 battle dress jacket to be worn over both without difficulty. The sweater is designed to fit under a BDU jacket. It is roomy enough for those who prefer a looser fit.
