The story

  • Not so long ago, my friend Kevin cleaned out his wardrobe, which, due to his pack rat nature, was crammed with clothes he hadn't worn in more than a decade. Among the discarded were 25 sweaters that can generously be described as "hideous." Or, as one critic put it, "Bill Cosby would not wear this." Kevin's defense? "I worked at Marshalls in North Olmsted, Ohio, during high school and got a 15 percent discount. It was cold. It was the late '80s." The horror, the horror. Click here to see them, but be warned. Your eyes. The burning.

Bad Sweater Mystery

Bad Sweater Fan Janet writes:

Recently at my company we had a meeting with a very top-dollar consultant, and he wore what I believe may have been the worst men’s sweater ever made. It had a pictorial depiction of a 1890s restaurant scene all around the sweater, in panorama. One of the scenes depicted was of a lady with long legs and high heels sitting in a booth, and a man’s popping out from behind the booth swinging a bra in the air! Many of us in the meeting were perplexed and mesmerized -- and amazed that such a sweater exists. Do you have any ideas about how we could find a picture of that sweater -- so that we can relive the moment?”

So who can help Janet and her co-workers? Send a pic and we'll post it here. An 1890s restaurant scene? I mean, come on. It's not like this one will be hard to spot.

Sounds like something Toulouse Lautrec would paint. I'll do a little search and see what I can find.
