The BBN Review: Cardigan

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe cardigan is a jumper that lost its nerve at the first act and never recovered.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt is a hug you can button, and I will not hear otherwise.

3. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe pockets are a bold choice. Big enough for a tissue, a receipt and your disappointment, and then they stretch, forever, into hanging sacks.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThose are storage for dreams.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe buttons are the ending.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYou begin at the top, full of hope, and by the third one you are off by a hole and the whole thing hangs crooked.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat is called a relaxed fit.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorPer Wikipedia, it is named after James Brudenell, the seventh Earl of Cardigan. Which explains the confidence and the ending.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOr it means the cardigan has a leader's heart, which explains why mine demands respect I cannot provide.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt also has an elbow. The elbow goes first, in every one. Mine went during a particularly humid Tuesday and has never forgiven me.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI wore mine to my pageant runner-up photo. I look radiant and slightly sleeved.

12. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwo and a half stars. One for the pockets, one for the wool, half for the elbow patches, which are brave.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPoster quote: "Warm, forgiving, and slightly crooked, like all of us."

14. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI am wearing one now. It is buttoned wrong. It has been since the first line.
