Navy blue. Besides the shirts and belt everything was navy blue.Sounds great. May I ask what colour your Woolly Pullies are?

Back to the Woolly pully,the Peal has more of a 'slash' neck than a round neck so whats the point of the drawstring ?...
Maybe so they could be pulled over headgear/helmets/fire hood during a battle
I don't recall army issue ones in the 90s having a drawstring.Maybe so they could be pulled over headgear/helmets/fire hood during a battle

Spending some of my youth in London, I began associating the likes of Trellick Tower with some pretty negative things. It was only after living in Asian city states where the same style was used for very expensive, well maintained condo type units inhabited by white collar hipsters that I began to be interested in that era and style. The Barbican remains the most interesting building to visit in London IMHO, as striking as Westminster Abbey and its Cloisters can be.I have been to the real Ernö Goldfinger’s Art Deco house in Hampstead (North London). Well worth a visit if you’re interested in that era and style.

I can understand a drawstring in the round neck because you can tighten it around your neck to suit your size but I dont see that working on the 'slash' neck.Maybe so they could be pulled over headgear/helmets/fire hood during a battle

Here is a drawstring that some squaddy has put in,this was common because people would get the neck stretched when washing (or hanging them up to dry).

one reason that I am not too keen on the Woolly pully is because the heavy wool tends to stretch and you can end up with a mini dress.
It's a tiny little place called Beamsley close to Bolton Abbey/Ilkley where I live, no retail though it's just an HQ, the owner lives up here somewhere

Was in that neck of the woods yesterday walking around Malham, with two of my mates. Had some food at the Craven Arms in Appletreewick.
I'm always at that campsite jump starting Volkswagens ?
