Spanish Military Police Commando Sweater - Black

Spanish MP Commando Sweater

This is a genuine Spanish Army issue commando sweater from the Military Police, knitted in black from a cotton and wool blend. A commando sweater is the classic military pullover: a heavy rib knit with fabric patches on the shoulders, made to be worn as a warm layer on duty or under a field jacket. It suits anyone who wants a hard-wearing cold-weather layer, and collectors who want authentic Spanish issue kit instead of a commercial sweater.

Features

• Cotton And Wool Blend — Wool provides the warmth, and cotton keeps the knit softer against the skin than an all-wool sweater.
• Heavy Rib Knit — The raised vertical ribs of the knit add bulk and insulation and let the sweater stretch to fit closely.
• Reinforced Shoulder Patches — Woven fabric panels across both shoulders take the rub from rifle slings and pack straps before it reaches the knit.
• Upper Sleeve Panel — A matching fabric panel is sewn to the upper left sleeve.
• Crew Neck — A round, ribbed collar sits close at the neck and layers neatly under a jacket or over a shirt.
• Ribbed Cuffs And Hem — Snug ribbing at the wrists and waist holds the sweater in place and keeps out draughts.
• Black Colorway — Plain black throughout, with the patches in matching black fabric.
• Genuine Spanish Issue — Issued by the Spanish Army for Military Police use, so it is authentic government kit.

Issue Specification

The sweater follows the standard commando pattern used by many European forces: a pullover cut with a crew neck, rib knit body and reinforced shoulders. Spain issued this black version to its Military Police, and it was made to the army's own specification instead of a fashion brand's. That makes it a solid piece for reenactors and collectors of Spanish military clothing, and a practical everyday layer for cold-weather wear.
