Hei! My dad served in the British Army for a couple of decades. This was always his favourite jumper. He swears by any Norwegian kit. I think the brand was Tuna Teskil? It was worn by the Norwegian Paras in the 80s I believe? Any help finding one (or similar) would be unbelievably appreciated. Tusen takk!

Looks like it is not in stock but they may have them in stock when they travel around to cities and arranges outlets. Try searching “overskuddsmateriell” and your city or nearest big city and they may have a date when they will have a outlet in that area.

Ah, the famous Coma sweater. It was worn by yours truly during his mandatory service period roundabout 13 years ago as well. It has since been replaced, but the Home Defense still had them in the kit up until very recently
It is the itchiest sweater you could ever have. No idea why someone would willingly use it, but you might find them on various military stuff vendors like Overskuddsmateriell or Depotsjefen (But they seem to be sold out atm)
I’m not familiar with this site, but they also seem to sell them: [https://www.forsvarsbrukt.no/products/ullgenser-ubrukt-depotvare](https://www.forsvarsbrukt.no/products/ullgenser-ubrukt-depotvare) (They also have used versions for 1/3 the price if you want)
I have one that I bought from a surplus sale in 2010 that I’ve basically never worn that could possibly have if you have no other luck
What size is your father? How big a jumper are you looking for?
I found my on Finn.no
Was the original one in mint condition, 100kr.
Ask Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He has like 17 of them.
If it isn’t made in your father’s size, you could pay an experienced knitter to recreate it!
Still have mine. Used it last time I was in on an exercise. Will bring it on the next in June.. Hopefully I won’t need it 🤣
Norwegian army. Just sign up
[depotsjeffen.no](https://depotsjeffen.no) probably has it
