Duluth Trading Sweater Men Large High Neck Infantry‎ Wool Blend Shawl Collar

Inspired by the sweaters that saved our GI's necks  Little more than standard-issue high-neck sweaters stood between shivering grunts and the piercing cold of the Chosin Reservoir in November of 1950. To survive the -32°F temperatures in the frigid outposts, ingenious soldiers made makeshift heaters by burning gasoline in empty 105mm shell casings cast off by artillery battalions – We salute the troops who braved the brutal conditions with our High-Neck Infantry Sweater.
