Lots of them if you take a small, lol

I found 3 in XL sz. 46-48 in about 3 minutes. Their measurements are small, but they’re meant to be stretchy.

Both far too large for me. Maybe I can boil one.

I'd definitely snap up one of these surplus items.

This? Oo it looks very tempting for the price, only %20 acrylic. Who else is currently producing a repro Jeep sweater?

US Army High Neck Wool Sweater - Olive

US ARMY high neck sweater introduced in 1942, used in World War II and the Korean War, and used through the 1970s. It was often worn under a field jacket or Mackinac coat, also known as a Jeep sweater, to give soldiers enough warmth against the cold.

bronsonshop.com

I got mine from Pike Bros... Seemed to look the best to me from all I've seen. Although, I will say that WW2 Impression's seemed best of all. But they've been out of stock now for well over a year. Their emails say it's coming, but so is Christmas.

I have an original US Army , 100% wool 5 button sweater in size 42-44 1991 contract date , in very nice condition . Price is $40.00. shipped. If you’re interested PM me for photos .

Don’t bother with a repro. The US army has kept on buying them up to the present day. The only thing that’s changed is they switched to acrylic yarn in the ‘80s or ‘90s. You still get wool originals on eBay for under $40.

I have a couple original 50's ones, in my stash they're small, and a couple more modern late era sweaters too that are great!!

...Just like the WWII Look of the Bronson one, it's got nice ribbing around the waist, cuffs and shoulders.

Awesome!

I like the character on your D1. Is it an ELC?

Especially the wear on the roundel-sticker is kind of cool.

SORTOF. It’s been hovering right around freezing, sometimes getting up a few points above freezing, but then we got a freak blizzard yesterday morning.
