Rothco Acrylic Commando Sweater GI Style Military Sweater

Bought one of these, and it recently saw me through the N. American cold snap of Christmas 2022. Incredibly warm; not very wind resistant but otherwise kept me fairly toasty even in sub-zero.One note: I see a lot of reviews talking about the fit. Reminder that it's a "Commando" sweater. I won't pretend to fit that mold, but I am active and of a healthy weight and this fits fine but it is also SNUG. I could easily see it not fitting if I was carrying more weight. Really not trying to shame anyone, just want to avoid people misbuying this thinking that a 3XL will fit them when it honestly will probably not.

I received this sweater today and it's exactly what I wanted. Other reviewers have noted that Rothco run a bit small and they were correct. I normally fit a XXL but I bought XXXL for this sweater and it's a perfect fit on me. It is a sharp looking military style sweater. It is tight fitting, but it keeps its shape and is warm and seems to be well made. It's definitely made for colder weather, but a T-shirt underneath should be OK for cooler days. It depends on your preference and what type of sweater suits your figure best. If you want a tight fitting military style sweaters then by all means buy this from Rothco but do order a size up. If you prefer a looser fit then try Goodthreads Men's Soft Cotton Military Jumpers on Amazon UK. The are cheaper but they are also made a big (too big) and are a much looser fit. I prefer Rothco and I will definitely buy this product again.

I ordered this in a size 6XL and 2 of the tags agree. But there is a size Small sticker on it as well. I also can't even put it on as it is no where near a size 6xl in width. It may be tall enough to count, but just putting my arms in trying to get to the sleeves they felt bound. Tight enough to wear it would never pass over my shoulders.

100% agree with the consensus that you should buy ONE SIZE LARGER... at least. I'm a Medium with most brands, but I trusted all the reviews that suggested buying a size up and I am very glad I did. Even with a size up, it is still quite form-fitting. The neck hole will probably be tighter than expected. It is extremely warm!It may seem like the body is extraordinarily long, but once worn, it will 'bunch up' and actually conform to the length of the torso. It is a nice style. I have slightly longer arms, but the arm length is perfect for me.The arm patches seem to be misplaced; with arms bent and leaning on a table or chair arm, the patches will be missed and instead rest directly against the fabric. Maybe that is not their purpose (they elbows and shoulder patches look very nice) but I wish the elbows were better placed.It survived one wash so far (instructions on the label) but I do fear that it will unravel over time, especially on one of the sleeves. There is already a bit of string showing and I am sure with continual use it will unravel and furl more.For the price, an excellent buy.

I purchased the sweater because I wanted to have as close a copy of the commando sweater as seen in No Time To Die, but I didn't want to pay $400.00 for the true N.Peal version. Not happening. Let me start off by saying I have purchased many Rothco apparel products in the past, and I think they are great - they are comfortable and durable. The T Shirts and Military Fleece I have all purchase in the past all ran a little big on me and I am a size XL and they are all comfortable as anything. I was really surprised when I got the sweater (a size XL) at how tight the fit is. I admittedly don't know if commando sweaters are supposed to fit that way, but there is no looseness at all. This sweater does in fact hug exceptionally close to the body. Previous reviews have stated this - they are all accurate. All in all I like the sweater, it does fit in terms of lenght- the look and material are good quality, but I don't see myself wearing it too often as A. Tight clothing is not comfortable to me, and B. I look terrible in in it - keeping it real. Also I would wear an under shirt or henley underneath it or you will feel the itch. If you do that, the material itself is good. It's a pretty close match to the one worn by Daniel Craig in No Time To Die, but it is not exact - again $40.00 versus $400.00 so you get the idea. I am going to keep the sweater until I can find one that is more comfortable. Will also try and stretch it out a bit and just wear it around the house. Bottom line - I recommend the product, and I recommend the brand, but know up front , the sweater is going to be a tight fit and you should have the proper build to wear it, unlike me. Hope this review helps you out.

Caution- wash cold, line dry or you’ll be wearing a crop top 😂I have prior experience with Rothco’s stuff, great quality but it will shrink substantially if you dont wash properly.Again, wash cold, line dry.

This is not my first sweater from this company. These are really great heavy sweaters that keep you nice and warm, and I like the style. That is why I keep coming back. It is important to know that these are kind of expandable fit, like spandex sort of. I am a Medium- going in large, but for this X-large is the right fit. I would recommend 2 sizes larger than your normal, or it going to be a tight fit.

Very warm. Bought as a gift and the recipient is very happy with it

A little snug around the waste but still great to own!

Si esta padre, ya que es muy similar a los que utilizan los equipos de seguridad en el Reyno Unido.

It was a gift for my grandson. It was a good fit with room to grow. He,s just 15 years of age.it is a well made product and the price was right.

I was worried about being too small but the XL was fine. The torso is tight but is designed that way. It is meant to be a hugging fit. Quality is very good. Order a bigger size to be sure. Recommended.

普段着で使ってます。洗濯時は気を使わず洗えるので非常に良いです。
