Eastman RAF Aircrew Sweaters

[unclegrumpy]

I am curious if anyone has any opinions on the Eastman RAF Aircrew or Silverman's RN Sweaters.....quality, fit, or other alternatives......Thanks!

Hi, Unc.

No personal experience with either, but there is a discussion of white RAF sweaters at the hat place:

I'd recommend the Silverman's sweater. It's not as authentic as the Eastman but is way more practical as it's a bit thinner, and a bit shorter which looks better with shorter flight jackets. They also have that lovely surplus smell that none of the repro makers has yet managed to replicate !
The WPG M1905 sweater I mentioned in the related section is also a favourite of mine.
But that's just my ever so humble opinion

Cheers
