I don't know why they're called GOB sweaters. I have about 5 of them and I've had one one way or another since the 70s. Favorite sweater. I have 2 Bronson offerings- one a classic GOB which unfortunately has US Navy across the front and one a copy of an older 1930s sweater. They are both very high quality- 80% wool, 20% nylon. I have a 90s one I wear all the time and I have an original from the 40s or 50s which has amazing wool and knitting but tiny 19" arms unfortuantely. My daily wearer is a 90s sweater which is thin but has a cool dark blue color- not black like many 90s GOBs.
A great sweater all 'round; I think it's meant to be worn underneath garments so it's form fitting. The classic commando or spy sweater.
First- a comparison of the 90s sweater put on top of the 50s sweater- you can see the thicker weave on the old one:
Next the Bronson GOB:
and finally the Bronson 30s sweater:
I'll sell the Bronsons if anyone wants them...
