For sale: Eastman RAF Sweater, worn twice, from a no pet / no smoking home. Too small for me, so I'm letting it go.
This is a well made, 100% wool sweater.
Manufacturer's description:
"We have copied this highly desirable garment to our usual high degree of authenticity. Like the original examples, our sweater is made in England from 100% pure English wool in Ecru (unbleached white). It is knitted to exactly the correct spec: two diamond-shaped cotton reinforcements are sewn inside where the collar joins the shoulder (just as on the original), a proper Air Ministry spec. label with king’s crown is woven in red thread on a white backing, and the rear portion of the knitted bottom skirt band contains a series of individual knots, with the number of knots designating the size of the sweater - a detail found only on an original sweater and ours!"
Asking $200 obo.
