Genuine Issue Surplus
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.

Supergrade is our highest condition rating for genuine military surplus. Items in this category are in near-new, top-tier condition and have seen little to no field use.
- Origin: Typically unissued reserve stock, trial gear, or kit issued but never actively deployed.
- Fabric & Materials: Crisp, fully intact, and structurally perfect with original color vibrancy and no fading.
- Hardware & Fastenings: Zips, press studs, hook-and-loop closures, and buckles operate like new with no functional wear.
- Markings & Repairs: No holes, tears, repairs, or personalized user markings. Factory issue labels and faint depot storage stamps may be present.
- Storage & Scent: May show minor creasing or light dust from transit. Like most authentic military surplus held in long-term dry storage, items may carry a faint warehouse scent that clears easily with a quick first wash or air-out.
“Bought one of these a few weeks ago and was impressed with quality and price so ordered another one to have as a 'spare' whilst they have them in stock. Very warm for weight of jumper.”
“Jumper is of good quality and fits nicely as advertised. Item was in its original factory packaging and was new and opened. Definitely worth the money. Arrived day after ordering and I would use this company again.”
“Great warm hard-wearing jumpers. I use them for foresty work and hunting. Great service. Very fast delivery. 10 out of 10.”
“Very good quality and well made jumper in perfect new condition”
Italian style
“This item is brand new as described, and is as it appears in the picture. As the other reviewers have mentioned, not a classic thick military jumper but a stylish thinner one. (It is Italian after all). Seems robustly made and given that it is absolutely new, is good value as others have said. Mi piace molto.”
