Motolegends Woollen Rollneck In Airforce Blue

When the war broke out in 1939, it quickly became apparent that there was a shortage of basic-issue clothing for all branches of the services. And that some of it was simply not up to the job. A little more than a year after the commencement of hostilities, a set of guidelines, called the Warnorm, was issued so that volunteer groups could hand-knit sweaters, jumpers, and other woollen essentials for the armed forces. Women’s groups, Knitting Circles, Comforts Committees, and even schoolchildren, were encouraged to do their part for the war effort. The sweaters were supplied to all branches of the military; the Army, the Navy, and the RAF. We have recreated these jumpers as faithfully as we could, using five-ply wool, to the original pattern. Although we have to report that our version is not hand-knitted by schoolchildren.

Please note: Hand wash only. Do not tumble dry. Do not use biological detergents. May be dry cleaned.
