(2) WWII AAF Mechanics Sweaters 34-36

[fishmeok]

Two very small AAF sweaters (34-36), one has some snags on the waist (see pics). $50 plus shipping for both.

Sizes:
They have about 4" total of stretch, so I would say you could comfortably add about 2 inches to the measurements and have a nice snug fit. Sweater #1 has the snagged waist knit and is a little more beat up than #2. These are surprisingly heavy sweaters.

Back From Bottom of collar :
1) 25.5
2) 23.5

Sleeve from shoulder to the end of the cuff:
1) 21
2) 19

Chest:
1) 17.5
2) 19.5

Shoulder across the back:
1) 15
2) 18

Hi
Sorry those are the only authentic WWII sweaters I have- modern 5-button sweaters are easy to come by and if you replace the buttons they are dead ringers for WWII sweaters.
Cheers

Here's a quality repro 5 button high neck

http://whatpriceglory.com/pic/GISweater.jpg for $60, 100% wool in the right color. Originals in large are pricey when they do show up. What Price Glory also has repro M1911 and sleeveless V-neck sweaters. WWII impressions used to have them, but I don't see them on its website.

I think the most important thing is the sleeve measurement- length would be difficult to increase. They have a bout 4" total of stretch, I would say 2 " would be realistic and still be able to wear them. $30 apiece or $50 for both (plus shipping)
