A Post About Sweatshirts
Apr. 5th, 2013 04:18 pm(In order to distract myself from Bootsie trauma drama.)(He's doing better, but I think we're both still a bit stressed out.)
So I saw this article bragging about sweatshirts that last ten years, which is not a bad thing per se, but color me supremely unimpressed.
Only ten years? I've got a ten-year-old sweatshirt. It's a bit pilly on the inside, but the only sewing I've done on it was to attach a NASA patch.
I've also got a sweatshirt that may or may not be older than I am (I hit 30 at the end of the month), but it is really old nonetheless and I've sewn up holes and at this point it's on the verge of disintegration, but like, 20 years ago it was not. 10 years ago it was still in pretty good shape if a little thin from repeated washing. The point is, this was my dad's sweatshirt, and then I think for a while it was my sister's sweatshirt, but then I stole it from her (sorry)(okay, not really because me and that sweatshirt were MEANT TO BE)(Me/Sweatshirt OTP), and it has been mine for lo these many (way more than ten) years. (I once tried to track down the company that made it from the faded/hard to read tag.)(No joy.)(Seriously, though, most comfortable sweatshirt in the history of sweatshirts.)(When it does finally fall to bits, I will be very sad.)
