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.

Another reason to live in Chicago

If you're a fan of actual vintage clothing and happen to live in the Chicago area, you need to stop by Ragstock. The place always has lots of cool stuff, and it's a great place to go to give you ideas for your Halloween costume. Actually Ragstock has shops throughout the Midwest, but as far as I know, the Chicago location in Wicker Park is the only one using the awesome poster below to direct foot traffic to the vintage sweater collection. Tell them Bad Sweater Guy sent you.

Coming Out of the Closet

Sweatercloset_2

October is National Coming Out Month. So really there's no better time to kick off Bad Sweater Season, that special time of year when all the bad sweaters of the world awake from their midsummer closet hibernation and go on a fashion rampage.

As the weather cools down and the bad sweaters once again make their appearance, please think of us here at BadSweaterGuy.com. Send us photos of your relatives, co-workers -- even yourself -- committing Cosby-worthy fashion crimes. Information about how to find me is on the left.

And remember: Our sweaters are loud and they're proud. Get used to it.
