The vintage Military Wool 5 Button Sweater is a great choice for the outdoorsman looking for warmth or for casual wear. The five oversized button closure is both effective and handsome. The ribbed waist and sleeve cuffs add to the comfort level and heat retention. It looks sharp, and yes, of course, it's warm. Incredible quality Genuine U.S. Military Issue. These are the authentic fatigue sweater first worn by Troops in WWII. 100% wool, rib knit cuffs, and waist. Recommended dry clean or hand launder. Please be aware that these sweaters do run small. For this reason, we recommend sizing up by at least one size. Review: This is one of the best pieces of equipment that the US Government has ever ... - 36 years in the Army. This is one of the best pieces of equipment that the US Government has ever managed to field...period. If you are the outdoor type, this needs to be in your bag. If it isn't, you deserve to be cold. Review: Get what you pay for. - extremely scratchy and rough. My son would have to wear two or three shirts to be able to tolerate the rough texture. Plus the size is very small for what I ordered...like a toddler+ size. Surprised this is a "genuine" military issue. Won't buy another and will donate this one to charity with the lesson learned: Get what you pay for.

Great stuff, but not cushy.
Wish they had it in large. This is a great sweater for keeping warm, but it is a bit scratchy as mentioned by other reviewers. This is typical of Army stuff, made to be effective and sturdy, not a luxury item. I had two from my time in the Army, but they are both giving up the ghost after 20 years.

Very warm! Runs small
Very warm! I am 5’4” and 140lbs and men’s small is usually a bit loose but this is quite snug. I can layer over and under it and it is very warm, great for hunting in the cold.

Disliked
I gave it a 2 because it very itchy, not like the one I have that I got in the military. It's very tight at the waist, but I due wear it because I like the style, just wish it was like the original.

Bubblehead sweater
Wore these on my submarine back in the 80's. Very comfortable and warm. Wish there were larger sizes.
