Woolley Jumper - recommendations?

[Brizzlebush]

This is the company that I think lists their jumper with Natural Man.
Some nice stuff and not silly prices.

My favourites are second hand, but, you can't always try it on and return it.
Mind you, I've paid £4 just to try stuff on before returning

The aero company linked above do ones without treatment that I suspect has all the oils left on or in the wool. It's certainly worth seeking that untreated wool out I think.

I still like my old issued JHW for wearing in the house, worth it. Mind you the Submariner from silvermans looks good. They probably still sell a good version of the JHW as well.

I've got a few, north sea clothing, finisterre rnli roll neck, merino and possum from new Zealand, but my absolute favourite is an arthur beale beereneberg. Smells like sheep and is bombproof

I bought a couple of Devold Nansen button neck sweaters last winter. Worn with a long sleeved t-shirt underneath, they are fantastically warm. Very good quality.

The good old MOD Wooly Pully for me - I have 3 in various colours and as I have found them all in Charity shops none have cost me more than £5
I sometimes (in extreme cold) layer them with lambswool sweaters - from the same source and at the same kind of price

Can second these. Thick and warm with wrist over cuffs.

I would put decent money on the Arthur Beale stuff being from the manufacturer behind outdoorknitwear.com. Unless you desire the Arthur Beale label on your jumper, there's a not insubstantial saving to be made by going direct.

I was thinking these Swedish army surplus pullovers looked stylish, and absurdly cheap for a 100% wool jumper at £10, even if it is 2nd hand.

Austrian army alpine sweater or cardigan gets my vote but finding a genuine one at a reasonable price is next to impossible.
Heimatt and Devold also make some decent jumpers too but again they are very expensive.
British army wooly pulley is a decent bit of kit and can be bought fairly cheaply.
If you trawl the secondhand shops you can find some decent wooly jumpers.

thanks for the link.

the jumpers turned up today and seem to be very good quality.
would definitely recommend the £15 clearance ones.
with the current 25% off thats just over £11 for a pure wool jumper.

I found one in a charity shop a few years ago for a tenner. My best charity shop find by far.

Another vote for Outdoor Knitwear. I have one of their 1945s and just got one of their erebus boat neck pullovers. Very reasonably priced considering the quality.
