Excellent condition Amongst the many new items of equipment introduced as part of the new 1944 Pattern Jungle webbing and uniform, was a new jumper designed for use in the jungle. The jumper is made of a machine-knitted jungle green wool: The jumper is ‘V’ necked, The forearms have sewn-on cotton reinforcing patches: These help prevent wear at a vulnerable point on the garment. On the shoulders a slot allows the shoulder strap of the shirt to pass through, and a hole allows the strap to be buttoned. This allowed badges of rank to be worn and clearly seen, even when the officer was wearing the jumper. The cuffs of the jumper are slightly tighter than the sleeves to help with the fit. Also visible are a /|\ mark and a manufacturer’s name of H&E Ltd Puritex Size 3. Show more
