An iconic piece of surplus if ever there was one. The classic crackerjack jumper has been used by sailors across the globe for centuries. This particular top belonged to a member of the FITRON 142 Naval Fighter Squadron, also known as the "Ghostriders", which saw use in the 1980's over the Mediterranean Sea and parts of Lebanon, making for some fantastic history once you dig into it. 

The pullover comes with 2 pockets, one faux and one functional. It is made from a thick 100% polyester material. You'll find that the previous sailor made it up to the rank of Petty Officer First Class as shown by the sleeve patch along with 2 service stripes. On the opposite side is the ship patch. A jumper like this, although fairly common place is a beautiful piece of militaria to cherish, especially with such a timeless and iconic look.
