By Commando from Humboldt County, CA on 10/26/2009 Describe Yourself: Classic, Practical Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Just what I was looking for! With those shoulder an elbow patches I will be able to defend my sweater from all would be attackers. This is the sweater that coined the phrase "take the sweater off my back?". It was first made as a civilian sweater in England(sans elbow patches), early 1900's, until too many assaults occured on sweater wearers culminating in a mandate discontinuing civilian production. J.G. Glover had piles of new virgin wool with no market. They struck a deal with the government to issue the sweater to the elite commando branch of the army. This time with the elbow patches they are so famous for. The government believed this was the only safe market since no one in their right mind would think about attcking a commando. The few attacks that did occur ended in brutal suede covered elbows to the face. Hence the phrase "take the sweater off my back?" posed as a question. Defend your self! Defend your sweater!

I wear it under my waders while bird hunting on the river. When days are below ZERO F, it saves my life. It is great weight, great construction and the leather patches are supple and add a wonderful touch to the item. Ever since I went to the camp with one, everyone else seems to acquire one the next trip.... go figure.
