Okay. We will admit there's a LOT going on here.  Blame COULD be placed on you, since we asked what dinos we should feature on our holiday jumper this year and YOU had a lot of thoughts that we tried to integrate.  Blame COULD also be placed on us, since we definitely could have created a jumper that was pleasing to look at and a celebration of dinos.  And yet, here we are.  With a holiday jumper that looks like a swirly pot of candy cane with dinos thrown in (or up) by a drunk elf.  The early reviews are not looking positive:  

"No.... oh no. I can't be looking at that."
"Erm. Is this going to be for sale to actual people?"

Things wrong with this jumper:
- You can really only focus on one section at a time. You may need to be shaken out of your hypnosis if you go in too deep.
- Very little care was put into lining up any dinos at the seams and this can be quite jarring to see heads cut off.
- The candy cane pattern is not the same scale throughout, causing a weird unease as your brain tries to correct it.
- It does not get better closer up.

Things right with this jumper:
- It will act as a natural deterrant at parties for 99% of the human race. Anyone who makes it past the barrier of this jumper DESERVES your friendship.

In an attempt to paper over this obvious eyesore, we thought that we'd drag some friends down with us. This isn't just a holiday jumper. It's a CHARITY HOLIDAY JUMPER. That's right. The good folks at The Fort Lowestoft are raising money to save their centre and they will be receiving $5 for each jumper that we sell. Before you get too handsy with your credit card, may we suggest perhaps just bypassing the jumper and donating directly to their Fundraising efforts right here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-lowestoft-mencap-save-the-centre-fight-for-the-fort

Here's some info about the amazing Lowestoft and District Mencap:

We are Lowestoft and District Mencap, a UK charity, based in Lowestoft, Suffolk, that supports people with learning disabilities. People with mild to moderate learning disabilities often fall between the cracks when it comes to getting support, as they are not seen as severe enough to receive things like Direct Payments, but are still in need of guidance and support, to be able to live independently, find work, and feel like they are a part of their community. We provide social support via our two inclusive public community spaces: ❤ The Unity Centre ❤ and ❤ The Fort.❤
 
The Unity Centre is a charity shop and café, offering advice, befriending, & hate crime support. It hosts a variety of community activities, including karaoke, arts & crafts, and Bang & Crash percussion music sessions. They also offer sessions that focus on wellbeing, nutrition, and Groove dance fitness. Everyone is welcome to join in with our activities, and we are the perfect place to do volunteer work if you feel you would benefit from an environment with a more involved support system than the average workplace. Activities like our Bang & Crash sessions have proven so popular that we have taken our performance to local places, and have even led to us taking part in performances in The London Palladium, and The Royal Albert Hall!

Unity Youth Projects is Lowestoft and District Mencap Society's gaming-specialised department. Unity Youth Projects specialises in improving social connectivity and life/social skills through digital/IT-based and modernised projects and activities, such as videogames, card games and board games. It is based in The Fort, a bespoke gaming hub, social and creative space that was opened in December 2019. The Fort provides activities, resources and games for the community, specialising in providing enriching activities that will appeal to local young people. The Fort also maintains online community spaces via its Twitch channel and Discord server, to ensure that as many people as possible can be a part of the community, regardless of their physical mobility, personal or financial situation. ❤

To top off all of this incredible contribution they make to society, many players will know our DIscord mod Zellie who so generously gives up her time to help grow and care for the Paleo Pines community. Zellie works at The Fort and is the one who introduced us to their fundraising efforts. We
Zellie.

Now for the actual product information, which is somewhat secondary to the chaos of the print but important nonetheless.  Note that this jumper is more athlesiure wear than cosy.  Does that make it worse?  I think that makes it worse. 

These unisex athletic hoodies come with a 95% recycled polyester and 5% spandex fabric blend that is as comfy in the gym as it is on a casual day out (as if). Each hoodie comes with a flat black drawstring, a sewn-in size and care label, as well as a custom-printed label on the inside of the waistband.
