Between!

You know that period of the year, both now and again in the Spring when our climate is uncertain. Some momings and evenings are cold, but not cold enough to need an overcoat, yet an extra garment is needed.

For this in between" season a woollie, or pullover, with or without sleeves, meets the requirement.

Made in Scotland of pure wool in a delightful range of colours and designs, and being "Scatch" Knit they are sturdily made to withstand hard wear. The very thing, too, for wear after a strenuous round of Golf or a hard set of Tennis,
