I'm sure some of you out there are familiar with this Garment. Austrian Army Mountain Jumper. This has rapidly, in the last 2 months since I finally managed to get hold of a couple in the required Size, has become one of the most astounding pieces of Clothing I've used.
For those that don't know. It is a layered Woollen Jumper, boiled and shrunk to create a brilliant fit; nice and tight around the waist (tapered cut) & wrist, upper fore-arm to keep the draft out, and rather good loose fitting around the chest and shoulders. The thick collar, depending on physiology, comes up over your Ears, or covers most of 'em... it is a high collar indeed. It has heavy cotton (ventile-ish) reinforced Shoulder & elbow patches. Superb bit of Kit, if you value Wool... this is top-end Woollen Clothing.
