KEY FEATURES
This genuine Italian Army V-neck wool jumper is a classic military knitwear piece.
Cold War Thermal Insulation
Originally issued to the Esercito Italiano during the late Cold War, this pullover was built for alpine training. Made from a 50% wool and 50% acrylic blend, it traps heat efficiently while remaining breathable. The ribbed knit allows the garment to stretch naturally with your movement, making it a reliable mid-layer for cold-weather bushcraft or hiking.
Hard-Wearing Reinforcements
Military field use requires gear that does not wear out at key stress points. This jumper features heavy-duty canvas shoulder and elbow patches to prevent abrasion from backpack straps and rough ground. Sturdy shoulder epaulettes are sewn in, maintaining the classic utility aesthetic while protecting the knit from friction during outdoor work or camping.
Sleeve Storage and Neck Design
The left arm holds a stiffened utility pen pocket, a standard feature for army administration. This pocket is reinforced with protective canvas to keep writing tools secure. The clean V-neck design is tailored to sit comfortably over collared shirts, offering a tidy, functional look that transitions easily from rugged outdoor tasks to everyday wear.
Add this hard-wearing Italian military classic to your outdoor kit.
