They can still be found on ebay and such.

*edited to add: I'll have to look at the tag again to see who made it, but I remember it saying it's the "original woolly pully", with the UK flag on the label. I see a lot of similar versions online, but they usually have patches at the shoulders, not epaulets like this one. Mine does have elbow patches, although they aren't visible in the photo.
Yeah, I'm neither here nor there on the epaulets. I think they look cool but since I've no insignia to put on them, being a civilian (not for lack of trying, medically disqualified), I'm fine if the sweater I end up with doesn't have any. Thanks for the pointers! This will help me find what I'm looking for now that I know what they're called.
