From what I've been able to find, the original woolly pullies were made by TW Kempton, or rather by the company that TW Kempton was then a part of. From its site, "its roots go back over 75 years as it was previously the specialist military knitwear division of a larger group." They manufactured and supplied woolly pullies to British military. From what I can tell, somewhere around 30 years ago they did two things - split their knitwear division off into its own company, , and began shipping to the US, retailed through Brigade Quartermaster. The color standard established by Brigade GM was Army = Black, Navy = Navy, Air Force = Light Blue, and USMC = Olive. Unfortunately Outdoor Knitwear no longer supplies the US or UK militaries, as each have moved to overseas production. The woolly pully doesn't seem to be a standard part of the uniform for either military, rather being an optional addition.
Thankfully Outdoor Knitwear does still sell the original woolly pully , still made in Leicester, still manufactured to British MOD specification UK/SC/3712, same as it has been for over 50 years. I don't know, to me that's pretty cool. They also sell it in twelve different colors now.
