I just watched that Swedish movie last weekend and everyone -- EVERYONE -- wanders around indoors wearing at least one if not two giant hand-knitty sweaters. It looks cozy until you realize it probably means that it's only 57 degrees indoors.

i'm of the opinion that sweaters should never zip, so that deer head one is not for me.
though i am a big fan of the snowflake-patterned, fairisle-type figured sweater type things -- i've been looking for a good one for a while, but i'm pretty picky about color and pattern.
caveat: if you are a already a douche these sweaters will absolutely magnify that fact, e.g. --

I think these are just what are known in cold places as "really warm, really ugly sweaters that are really cheap at the second-hand store". Which of course means they'll have a renaissance at some point (now?) and spawn Urban Outfitters versions in pilly synthetics.

I am sort of a nostalgic sucker for the finely knit Scandanavian ones with the metal buckles. I think my mom has four of them in different color-ways. I have none but wd not be surprised if I acquired some cheesy, hand-knitty ones before age 50.

yes in fairness ppl have been wearing multiple variations on these types of sweaters for a good 100 years but it is notably true that there's been a huge upswing in morons in williamsburg throwing "sweater parties" and these style items all appearing in uniqlo and h&m & brooklyn industries so let's not be disingenuous here just because yes, ppl holidaying in aspen have worn these forever.

i mean jesus goddamn christ on a bike if i log into facebook one more time and see either A) photos of my friends at a "sweater party" or B) another invite to a "sweater party" i'm going to delete my facebook account!
also fun fact: i had a drug supplier who used the code word "sweaters" to talk about these items so "sweater party" keeps cracking me up.

i was gonna say, mightn't euphemism have aided the trend (preceded by themed bars)?

This sweater party stuff is news to me, but it reminds me of when the "media" was freaking out about "rainbow parties" among jr high kids. Which turned out not to have actually happened, after all.
Would it be an improvement if "sweater parties" were shown to be an urban legend?

i had no idea that sweater parties were such a thing

i would be okay being the only guy in a deliberately flashy or novelty type sweater at whatever shindig but if everyone is wearing crazy sweaters?? it does not sound like enough to organize a party around
― the magic length of god (elmo argonaut), Friday, 19 December 2008 02:20 (sixteen years ago)
this is fascinating. I have never been invited to a sweater party. Maybe I need to organize one myself. I assume there also needs to be an election of sweater king and queen.

i feel a little bit lame for thinking a sweater party would be pretty fun

yet another sweater party popped up on my facebook today. maybe i just have the wrong friends?
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Sunday, 28 December 2008 20:20 (sixteen years ago)
I'm sorry, but what is a sweater party?!
― Virginia Plain, Monday, 29 December 2008 04:02 (sixteen years ago)
DC at least a year behind all NYC trends though.
18 months to 3 years, if the trend hits at all.
In the meantime, does "chalet sweater" mean "ragg sweater"?

this should be the new chalet sweater (i can't post pictures because there's a $ in the picture address)

That looks like a very short leap away from wolf Tshirts, whale Tshirts, etc, so please consider carefully.
― How can there be male ladybugs? (Laurel), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 20:37 (sixteen years ago)
i think wolf ts already made the leap
― max, Tuesday, 27 January 2009 20:41 (sixteen years ago)
I agree. I'm saying, do we want to complete that circuit again? Maybe we should be looking farther afield?
― How can there be male ladybugs? (Laurel), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 20:47 (sixteen years ago)
chamois shirts are pretty great tho
― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 27 January 2009 20:48 (sixteen years ago)
how would one accessoires this type of shirt
maybe with a big gold chain
― obi don quixote (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 21:01 (sixteen years ago)
top hat

a friend of mine purchased the "leaping fish" version and i think he's really pioneering something.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 21:52 (sixteen years ago)
i'm in - this is like the summer version of the chalet sweater with a grungy outdoor thing thrown in for good measure.
― baaderonixx, Thursday, 29 January 2009 09:04 (sixteen years ago)
With their soft, warm 6-oz.-per-square-yard chamois construction, it's no wonder that our Printed Chamois Shirts are a customer favorite. The photographic-quality prints evoke thoughts of the natural world and bring back memories of past outdoor experiences. The classy, yet conservative patterns are at home in practically any environment, from the office to the cabin.
― baaderonixx, Thursday, 29 January 2009 09:05 (sixteen years ago)
u should really be able to make yr own pattern w/technology tho

I'm not sayin I don't have a chamois shirt! It is evergreen-teal and a giant size and delightfully warm. I will leave the leaping fish, however, to the more...stylish.
― How can there be male ladybugs? (Laurel), Thursday, 29 January 2009 14:53 (sixteen years ago)
Style-ful.
shall we organize the first "ugly chamois shirt" party then?
― baaderonixx, Thursday, 29 January 2009 14:57 (sixteen years ago)
yes, this is what i'm thinking too.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 29 January 2009 15:11 (sixteen years ago)
The Buck in the Pines and the Elk shirts are sort of amazing.
