I Love It.

This is really a fantastic piece from WPG, and I'm speaking as someone who has other WPG stuff I'm not so excited about.
1. The construction is solid, and the fit is flattering. (Though you can see this is a garment made to be worn with a stable belt.)
2. It's real wool and it smells that way. (I like that.) Thick and feels sturdy.
3. It's got a raffish charm that looks good with my casual wardrobe.
4. Size: Half of the reviews on here say it's generous and you should size down, the other half say the fit is perfect.
Normally, I wear an XL (46-48). Since the sizes of the IA Sweater jump from 44-46 to 48-50, I decided to take a risk and size down. I have a 46-47 inch chest and the Large (44-46) ft perfectly.
So, my advice is to size down from what you'd normally wear if you're in-between sizes like I am.
5. The color. I love the color. Not a tan khaki, but not OD either. Somewhere in between. Looks authentic.
6. I've never seen a real one of these, so I can't speak to the quality of the reproduction, but it looks good enough from what I can tell from the scant photos I've been able to find.
Bottom Line: FANTASTIC PIECE. Size down.

This was an absolutely excellent item, I was extremely happy to find this in my stocking on Christmas morning! Having worn WPG's Navy submarine sweater on exercise, I knew the quality and practicality would be great and I wasn't disappointed. Fantastic build, durability and a nice toffee colour. People complain about the smell and the scratchiness, but anyone who's worn pukka British kit won't mind ;) Fab! Will buy from again.
