Scratchy sweaters

[jim]

Sweaters are the [expletive] best. What is this laundry nonsense? That's the whole reason I own half of my sweaters. A sweater means I'm not ironing the oxford underneath, and who washes sweaters? Excluding stains, the only reason I'd wash a sweater is to get out the smell of smoke... but I don't know anyone that smokes.

What are you wearing that's itchy? Stop knitting your own sweaters from the grooming remains at Tenth Life.

THIS THREAD IS CONFUSING. Outside of hockey, skiing, and hot cocktails, sweaters are one of the few redeemable winter occurrences.

It is confusing. First of all, who on earth wears an Oxford? Second, if I did wear one, why would you care if it's wrinkled? Cover it up? Why wear it at all if you are covering it up? Makes no sense to me. And also, a general point - people wash their clothes too much. Unless it's the summer, there no reason not to get 2-3 wearings out of a shirt. With Febreeze in the house, that's 3-4.

So wrinkles and washing aren't an issue, what is exactly is the purpose of a sweater again?

Plus they look retarded.

I have 3 of these and have rotated these virtually every day this winter. It's cotton, kind of like a long undershirt thing, and I mix and match with some colored Haines t-shirts for style. I have one in this color that I am wearing today, and navy blue, and a dark olive. I think I paid $19 for each of them. Comfy, warm, and downright fashionable. It's a brand called Sonoma. It's a quality garment.

I paired this with a carefully chosen charcoal grey Haines. Carefully means it was on top of the pile in my drawer. I am going out to dinner tonight with my colleagues at work (yes that b-s is still happening and I can't get out), so I made sure to wear something nice today.

That's a sweater, jim.

[jim]

It is? I thought it was long underwear with a couple of buttons.

[Jocephus]

yeah id just call it a thick long sleeve shirt

[cardinalkarp]

Looks like it's a long sleeve shirt made out of long-underwear type material...definitely not a sweater

[StL Dan]

definitely a sweater - with buttons.

[thrill]

It's not a sweater. It's a thermal henley shirt.

[JL21]

That thing is a sweater in the same way that a veggie burger is a burger.

[go birds]
