Description
The Griswold Family Christmas design is the closest thing the ugly Christmas jumper has to an origin story. Chevy Chase in 1989 is the moment the garment stopped being sincere and became a joke, and this officially licensed Warner Brothers pullover goes straight at that reference.
It is made as a crew-neck fleece pullover rather than a knit, which has real practical consequences. Fleece is softer against the skin than acrylic knit, noticeably more comfortable across a full working day, and it does not itch in a heated office — the reason a lot of expensive knitted jumpers get taken off by lunchtime.
Who it suits
- Anyone who quotes the film and wants the reference to be unmistakable
- Long days — office jumper day, all-day parties, travelling
- People who find traditional acrylic knit uncomfortable
If you want the same film with a more obscure reference, the Marty Moose eggnog design rewards the properly devoted.
