Product Description
 

ATF reproductions: These sweaters are exclusive to us. No other company carries the same sweater. Originals were made by dozens of manufacturers and I picked one of several styles of knit. The color, weave and pattern were taken directly from several unissued examples. Unlike some reproductions, these fit. They are long enough, the sleeves aren't short and the collars don't ride on your chin.

We opted for a 50/50 wool/poly blend for cost, comfort, durability and care considerations. We tried a sample with 100% wool- but it was as smooth as 50 grit sandpaper. It was awful. This blend is far more comfortable and more durable than all wool.

Care: Washing by hand is still best, but these can be cleaned in a washing machine- cold water, gentle cycle (or "handwash" cycle if your machine has it). Dry cleaning is also fine.
Hang dry!
Originals- note there is no one and only
color/ shade.
Color: These are olive drab- a shade of green. They are not khaki or brown. The WWII sweaters vary in shade like every other uniform and our photos vary some depending on one's monitor. These are the proper WWII color.

Sizing: These run about a size larger (or more) than marked. I suspect the reason is that the new wool has more stretch than the original size Large that we copied. Sweaters are knits and they are very flexible. The back length is 26-28" depending on the size and the sleeves are about 36".

Example: I'm a size 46 and the size XL has a ton of room in it. In all honesty the Large is fine- and even the Medium isn't too bad.
