The canadian ones are a great green. A good source for the NATO style commando sweaters used to be Peter Storm, ( http://www.peterstorm.com/ ) they may only be special order now, as I can't find details - is worth asking. They didn't have epaulettes, just the patches, (which I prefer) and they did great turtleneck versions as well, called the 704, in green, black, blue, camo and bone. They had a special waterproofing process, which is very successful in drizzle. Mine is 8 years old and in great condition still. Another company that makes them is Niffi / Woolyback / Commando Knitwear ( http://www.outdoorknitwear.com/ ), they used to label theirs with the Commando label. Finally ebay search on Bridgedale will bring up the original ones that were so popular in the UK in the 70s and 80s.
