“The Submariner Sweater was War Office issue to the Royal Navy in both
World Wars. In the 1950s motorcyclists adopted them to wear under a
Barbour or Belstaff jacket to keep out the cold. They used be available
from army surplus stores until about 10 years ago until original
supplies “dried up”. These hard-wearing sweaters are
manufactured by a family firm in Nottinghamshire, England, using pure
new wool and will last for many years.”
