Commando Sweater from an anonymous X-Marker

Great looking sweater! I have something similar but with a somewhat v-neck opening. It was my Transit issue uniform sweater. I'll have to try it out with a kilt one of these days.

The reason I've always heard is political (anti-english) and could also be construed as being religious, so I'll refrain from posting it here.

Nice haul Glen. Nice gesture Mr. Anon. I also like your poetry

Just when you think Grant can't get any weirder...

That is a very nice jumper, Glen. You look really good.

Congratulations. Sounds great.

It looks good

Wonderful present,Glen.You could wear your Commando "woolly pully"with your Royal Navy tartan,if the colours don't clash,as the Royal Marines (commandos) are and always have been under the direct command of the Royal Navy.

That's a great sweater. I'm sure it will see you through many a winter. And it's not just military issue sweaters that have those long sleeves - the police issue ones are the same.

Very nice. What a kind gift! Well done to whoever it was.

Jock I was thinking that very thing, there are also Navy Blue woolly pullys out there and I may get one of those.
