True to form so the body is long, while the sleeves are short, and the neck is the same from to back to it bunches at the base of the throat.

Oh if the fit is not ideal for you for everyday, they have another site with civy attire: https://www.stanleybiggs.co.uk/knitwear

Would be great to see a photo showing how it fits. The old school label is very cool!

Really neat find, LC. Would be neat to see fit pics. I've heard people describe the fit of the original RAF sweaters, but I don't think I've seen one.

Here is an original:

I love olt time Company Frock, they made the same shape as original, i bought one some days ago too.

Just got the white, a trial pattern, before they settled their pattern.

Turns out the sleeves are longer, a pretty normal length. Maybe not as accurate, but...

I picked up a white one from them. It’s pretty long in the torso, comes down around my butt cheeks and the sleeves are made to be a bit short . They lay above the wrist bone.

I picked up one in white recently and it fits nicely under my Aero Irvin repro so I'll just say they look great together and keep you toasty when you want it!

I have their white version as well. I like it very much and goes with just about any of my jackets (Irvin, B-2, M-444A). Nice and cozy...

I thought it might help if I posted a fit pic of the “Old Time RAF Frock” which fits differently than other versions of this sweater. This is the most accurate repro I’ve seen, but some of you guys on the UK side may differ with that opinion . If so please post your thoughts .
Cheers and Merry Christmas !

might be historically acurate but looks kinda goofy anyway with those short sleeves ...
