Haha, yeah, it does.

I'm sure they spent forever with the product photos starching parts of the sweater, arranging them, and so on to make it look passable, but I see no way how that thing could look good regularly...and that's if I thought it looked good to begin with.

Post by: nubbinator on Wed, 06 November 2013, 18:32:59: The comments photo? Yeah, girl who looked like she was wearing football pads or motorcycle pads under it. That thing does no favors for your body.

I was referencing the model photos though.

Post by: tp4tissue on Wed, 06 November 2013, 18:33:10: Also.. this is really nice since they can get your size right..

I have a 26" waist.. and most hoodies are hoola-hoops around me..

Post by: keymaster on Thu, 07 November 2013, 01:26:36: I'd seriously consider punching anyone wearing this in public.
Title: Re: Nerd Level: Dork
Post by: vun on Thu, 07 November 2013, 02:12:36: I do want this since it looks awesome, but in reality it would just be me spending too much money on something that would only serve to make me look dumb in public, and if that's what I want then I already have clothes that will do that.

Slapping Ergodoxes in things tp4 would want/is using should be a thing.

I would argue it's not a fine piece of work... it's just a time consuming thing to assemble. Maybe it's because 1/2 of my family is in textiles-- No argument from me that it is cute -- I just look at it and think, "I could get my aunt to make me one for the cost of time and materials and still end up less than that. It would probably fit better and I could get gauntlets added on."

Post by: Forsythe on Thu, 07 November 2013, 13:44:42: I saw this. LOL showed it to my girlfriend, and she said "I won't be going out with you if you wears this.". :'(
