Paleo Pines Charity Holiday Jumper 2024
Paleo Pines Charity Holiday Jumper 2024
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

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.
