What in the hell do you do with these things? Is there anyway to strink them back to normal size, or just super small size?

It seems like after 2-3 years every sweater I own is fucked and can't be worn anymore.

what's the material type?

cotton, lambs wool, merino wool, cashmere?

1/4/2008 1:39:19 PM

dryer?

1/4/2008 1:39:31 PM

I dunno. I just take them to goodwill and get a tax writeoff. I gave them a nice lambswool Columbia sweater the other day for that very reason.

1/4/2008 1:40:18 PM

cotton, lamb's wool, and some other composition i can't think of.

1/4/2008 1:41:15 PM

what are you doing that they get so stretched out?

you don't put 'em on hangers do you?

1/4/2008 1:45:24 PM

^no they're always folded sitting on a shelf. They get stretched out from wearing them and putting them on. Unavoidable over time.

Funny, as my gf like men in sweaters.


She was the one who bought most of mine, after all.



To answer the orignal question posed, i occasionally throw mine in the dryer and press them to keep them presentable. I'll have them laundered sometimes, too. Generally, a little dryer time takes care of stretched sleeve ends, etc. (oh, and i've got everything from merino, lambs, and cahsmere).

^yeah, a little dryer time works just fine

just be careful obviously

guys in sweaters =

dryer is probably best, but is there any way to fix this without a dryer?

1/6/2008 5:38:08 AM

Ive always thought girls liked guys in sweaters

I love wearing sweaters, I just got an awesome cashmere one for christmas.

As said above, try throwing it in the dryer on low heat w/ a slightly damp washcloth, and make sure you keep them off of hangers.

you do the same thing when a girl gets stretched out after 2-3 years

throw that shit away

1/6/2008 9:28:47 AM

stop being a dude that wears sweaters

1/6/2008 10:23:57 AM

I've never heard of girls complaining about guys in sweaters, unless they have some sort of latent angst towards preppy guys. Then their opinion is meaningless anyway.

1/6/2008 11:57:12 AM

I got a cashmere (blend I guess?) sweater from Express yesterday for $20

1/6/2008 2:36:17 PM

Hey all you asshats talking about how guys shouldn't wear sweaters, tell me what the fuck you wear when its 20 degrees outside with a wind chill around zero

1/7/2008 11:42:18 PM

^ A coat maybe?

I'm rocking a North Face sweater today.

1/8/2008 1:03:40 AM

Pattycakes, I love your sweaters

1/8/2008 2:14:30 AM

^^ how 'bout a sweater and a coat

1/8/2008 3:12:27 AM

^^^if you lived up north (or anywhere that conserved energy) some places in the winter time set their thermostats in the 60s. In other words, you'd want to wear a sweater inside.

1/8/2008 10:49:12 PM

my problem is that the sweaters always shrink.

1/8/2008 11:13:51 PM
