Thrifty!
Reminds me of some favorite bits of kit - a couple of sweaters. One is an old merino crew-neck that got a few moth holes, and another is a sweater I was issued when I was aboard ship.
That thing is OLD (got it in '86), very trim-fitting and the sleeves seem to have shrunk a bit, so I wouldn't wear it or the other ratty sweater to work or anything, but as a thermal layer under a windbreaker, they can't be beat! By the way, it seems those brown sweaters can still be had for about thirty bucks from an army-navy outlet. Made in USA, of course.
