I recently got a "now in stock" email from WPG and don't recall seeing this before.
They are 100% wool and the lighter version should be able to be dyed brown I would think.
Has anyone purchased one of these?

I noticed these as well. They seem decent from what can be gleaned from the pictures.

Very interesting. I have had one of their RAF turtleneck sweaters for years, and always liked it.

How would you dye one of these?

RIT dye from any fabric store or Walmart. I've used it to dye shirt and even buttons for Indy shirts (tutorial on COW).

Someone posted about this a couple months ago. It might be in the MotB sweater thread. It reminds me of a vintage '20s sweater I have. If I had the extra coin, I would've picked one up. I like the looks of it, and if it's anything like my vintage sweater, it'll be warm!
