handwash woolite in the bathtub. I maybe give them a wash every 3-4 years.

I could see how they could be itchy but I’ve gotten used to it - I’ll often just wear a t-shirt underneath.

Top sweater is my dad's from the 70s. It's seen better days but still holding together. Bottom is a sweater I thrifted, I'm taking a guess and saying it's 20+ years old.

I'm sure these are called something else depending on where you live but depending on where you get them, they can cost upwards of $300-400+ new.

True BIFL quality though and perfect for almost any type of weather.

I was given hours of old 8mm home video from my grandparents and have slowly started to upload the footage.

Picture is a screenshot enhanced with Topaz Photo AI.

Footage was taken somewhere in Victoria, British Columbia during the 1950s.
