They look to be good quality but are they selling the same knits for everything ? "Oliver green" is not the right colour for L-2B's, N-3B's etc.

The Oliver Green and the cherry knits are the ones I'm looking at. I'd like to replace them on my MA-1 and my A2.

Possibly from "Oliver's Army"?

Maybe Oliver Green is the bloke who makes them.

Make an offer. Don't pay the buy it now price. I've seen their knits and they are nice.

I got a couple of sets and sent it to the tailor who does my restoration and he said they weren't real wool as claimed in the ad. They have a tighter knit than the buzz rickson or real mccoy's that they claim they produce for. They're not terrible, but definitely not in the class they claim to be.

Many thanks for that info. I'll steer clear.

Yeah, they look too "smooth" and tight to be wool.
Looks like "oliver" needs to practice a bit more truth in advertising :lol:

I guess it all depends on what you're looking for.

These seem to be good to go if you're looking to replace your knits in a "beater" jacket. Or have a wool allergy like my HH6 has.

 

[RCSignals]

I suspect you could get them for between $15 and $20. Make them an offer.
