High neck sweater, size 38 (1942)
High neck sweater, size 38. With very nice 'contrast knitting' at the shoulders, waist and sleeves. The high neck sweater was introduced in 1942 as a replacement for the V neck sweater and the turtle neck sweater. Mistakenly it is often seen as part of the M-1943 uniform but it was introduced much earlier. It did however become part of the layered principle of the M-1943 uniform. The sweater has a crisp label with 1942 date. The five buttons are present and are different from later models (see last photo of Kiska Force GI taken in June 1943. His sweater seems to have similar buttons). The sweater seems unworn but does have some slight spots. These early production high neck sweaters are very rare, especially this nice. Perfect example of a garment often worn by GI's. Very good condition.
