Notes

In that old washable standard, Woolease, for a guy who wouldn’t know what to do with fine woolens if his life depended on it.

Tom is heading to Longyearben, on the island of Svalbard, in the Arctic Circle. It’ll be winter weather in August, so I’m making him a last minute thing to keep him warm. Wouldn’t stand up to the coldest cold (since it’s only part wool), but it’ll certainly do the trick for “summer” weather.

So bad pictures. So so so bad pictures. Colors are obviously better than what is shown. Obviously. Because if they weren’t, I’d be burning it rather than getting it ready to give to a friend.

Didn’t want to wait until the sun’s out to take pics in case I forget, because once I give it to Tom, it’s gone. I’m gonna ask him to get a selfie while wearing it and standing on a glacier, or something, in Longyearben.

Added three drawstrings (crochet chain) so that the blue ridged section can be drawn together if Tom wants to tighten up the fit a little, for colder or windier days. Plus they just look cool. So win-win.

Took a couple pictures outside. The colors actually look like colors, instead of some sad, faded Polaroid of the tacky shit your aunt used to make for you in 1973.
