Review#164: This cardigan I’ve had since high school
It’s perfect. I got it back in high school when it seemed a lot easier to find cool cheap clothes at thrift stores. I haven’t worn it in over 2 years because I left it in this van I was living in and it got some mold growing on it. Loving it so much, I kept it in a plastic bag away from everything else knowing that one day I would take care of it. I’m sure most of it is polyester. Today was that day. I put on some rubber gloves, sprayed it with Simple Green and scrubbed it im my bathroom sink. I then threw it in the wash.
It’s good as new, or at least as good as I left it. This sweater fits me perfectly and has a couple of characteristics I can’t find in most. First of all there are two small pockets in the front. Most sweaters I can find in thrift stores have no pockest at all. The other thing is the cuffs. Other “golf sweaters” have these really long cuffs that are meant to be folded back in half. They are ugly. These cuffs just have a simple ribbing that hugs the wrist.
I have no idea who made it and I will probably never see one like it again.

That is a cool sweater. It’s impossible to find good cardigans these days…. They all have zippers, which look stupid if you’re wearing a tie (which I have to for work; kind of a bearded Mr. Rogers look).
