SARGE Posted April 26, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 26, 2020 Very nice! I have never seen the khaki Naval jumper before. Can you tell us more about this item? "You can't please everyone so you have got to please yourself." Ricky Nelson Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Gents,I don't really know,this is the only one I've ever had in hand so I grabbed it, I've been told it was a type of work shirt and I've never seen a photo of it being worn with the white undershirt with the blue stripe, I've also been told they were worn by Petty Officers.If anyone has any ideas please let us know.

St.Lukas Posted April 26, 2020 Share #6 Posted April 26, 2020 Especially like the navy gear! Green pullover isn't a jumper but a work tunic. Jumpers came in white ( for summer) & black for winter. They had detachable collars. There was an extremely rare SNLF model jumper that was in green Link to post Share on other sites

St.Lukas Posted April 26, 2020 Share #8 Posted April 26, 2020 No. I don't own one. Never saw one nor do I know of any in collections in US. I have seen them worn in black & white period photos. Some believe they were originally white jumpers that were dyed.They are the "holy grail" of SNLF tunics including officer's green tunic that took shoulder boards. Link to post Share on other sites

This jumper had a depot tag in it originally and you can still see the outline holes and some bits of thread but was removed and the spot were it was now has an ink depot stamp, I'm assuming it was a reissue.
