Description
Sold as a present, and it is worth understanding what that means for the person receiving it.
A jumper with the year knitted into it stops being a garment and becomes a marker — the Christmas someone moved house, started a job, had a first baby. Given for that reason it is a good gift. Given as a general-purpose Christmas jumper, the date is a countdown.
The construction is genuine knit rather than print, so it has weight, texture and ribbed cuffs, and it will physically last far longer than the year printed on it suggests.
Worth knowing
- Acrylic knit — warm and hard-wearing, and worth a layer underneath if you are sensitive to it
- Heavy enough to be a real winter jumper, which means it is a lot in a packed function room
- Check the sizing against a chest measurement; knit has less give than fleece
If the recipient wants one jumper for the next decade, an undated knit is the better buy. If this specific Christmas is the point, the date is exactly why it works.
