Where are they $39?  All I see are $800-900.  Interesting story.

See how the deer hovers in the air, no adjacent (in horizontal terms) design to which it is pinned, the carries (if there were any, as any European technique would require) would need to be several feet long, pinned at the back, fingers stuck every time you put it on. Endless angst and frustration. But this is as clean as a whistle. Literally the pinnacle of western knitting, a couple of millennia of handicraft distilled into a single garment, and it can be yours for $39.99 CANADIAN

Really nice!

Lately, I've been crushing on this coat that I spotted Bum Phillips wearing in this old NFL clip.  The cowboy hat seems essential to complete the look but I don't think I could pull the hat off:

I just went through Etsy listings for curling sweaters!

Oh yeah that looks like a shearling (sheep leather with fur on, sticks out around the edges of the pieces. I think any proper hat (i. e. not a ball cap or beanie) would work. GQ was showing the Rocky newsboy look just last February

and any man can pull off the Kangol or Akubra from Australia, you see them on gentlemen of a certain dignity as basic rain hats here all the time, it's giving downtown Toronto rather than Wyoming

Newsboy wouldn't work for me.

Ushanka produces too much anger I think:

Not even Bum’s pulling off the hat. 😐

Suede and shearling? Come on Walks…I believe in you! You could totally pull it off.
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Ooh, I’ll take one of each of these. Young Sylvester doesn’t get to talk though and 3’s going to need to get rid of that beard. Wait, is Three a ginger?  :-\

But Skinny Bobby Harper, the model for Fever, would have whacked Jack Webb with a hockey stick.

@JUAN  & @KSM  , the fam is doing 2nd Christmas today.

Alert! Alert!
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.
