It's not always used as official uniform description. The big green Army woolly-pully is called a "Pullover HD". --Pete
- That's a change then. When I was in it was called a "Jersey, Heavy Wool" (JHW). -- Necrothesp 18:27, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Sounds like it has changed, as I've never come across that term. Although I didn't think that kind of stores designation could be changed (would certainly cause confusion). Perhaps the item itself changed a bit, while remaining recognisably the same thing, and it got a new name. I have no idea what the "HD" stands for - the best we could come up with was "high-density" since it's quite thick and heavy, but that doesn't sound very "army" and is probably wrong. Incidentally, the uniform jumper has changed again in recent years, to something much lighter and less chunky. Mostly seen in the RAF version, though, since Working Dress almost everywhere in the Army these days is "Soldier '95" DPM shirts and trousers. PeteVerdon
