The Classic Frontline Thermal Layer
Stay warm with a legendary piece of American military kit: the Genuine US Army 100% Wool 5-Button Pullover Sweater. First introduced during WWII and issued through the Vietnam and Cold War eras, this iconic sweater (officially cataloged as "Sweater, Man's, 100% Wool, OD") is widely regarded as one of the most comfortable, durable, and practical mid-layers ever issued to US service personnel.
Knitted from heavy-gauge, 100% natural pure wool, this pullover retains insulating air pockets to trap body heat even when damp or exposed to freezing mist. Featuring its signature high-buttoning collar with five tonal buttons, it allows you to button up tight against bitter winds or unbutton for rapid ventilation during heavy field work.
