RAF aircrew rollneck - replica, very large size

Code: U23963

Reproduction R.A.F. aircrew frock white type rollneck sweater.  Unknown manufacturer.  Size 4.  100% pure English wool.  Unbleached white (Ecru), this classic creamy white sweater was worn by many aircrew during WW2 and is seen in many period photographs underneath an Irvin flying jacket or Sidcot flying suit.  Like an original it is made with diamond shaped cotton reinforcement pieces between the neck and shoulder.  The label states it to be made to M.O.D. specifications.  It physically measures approximately 50" chest, shoulder seam to cuff 25.5", armpit to waist 23.5", neck seam to waist 31.5".  Remember that this does have some 'give' in the wool.  Aside from a couple of very snagged stitches this is in excellent condition and shows little use.  This is a very large sweater and would be ideal for the larger mannequin or reenactor.   Bag yourself a bargain for the winter season.  Stock code U23963.
