the worst sport coat in the world

Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you - The Worst Sportcoat in the World. Worse even than the horrible fake fur rosettes on home shopping networks, the faux leather in metallic pastels or the beaded fringed suede. For only $495, you can own a jacket designed to make people wonder if the social workers let you do crafts in your spare time.

The Dundee Panel Tartan Sport Coat

Sometimes I think my job should come with warnings. Warning, you will never be able to unsee these hideous consumer goods.

"AUGH! That's horrible! That's like something Weird Al would have worn in 1982!"-Josh

So true! the only person allowed to buy this jacket is Weird Al.

I want one so bad. I am all about ridiculous jackets.

thanks for the warning - unfortunately, it wasn't big & bold enough to stop me clicking. and now my eyeballs and brain are cursing me (and you, just a little) for the resultant trauma.

WHY for the love of everything, would anyone think that was anywhere close to a decent idea? much less worthy of actually crafting and selling?

Thank you. I needed a good laugh.

My husband happened to see it over my shoulder and asked for the link, muttering about John Pertwee and Colin Baker being smushed together in an alternate universe. I think he's going to share the link among his Doctor Who friends.

It's like the all-white golf club exploded, and this was all they could salvage so they sewed it into one coat.

Perfect for the Scotsman who has more than three tartans in his background.

IT'S FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

Yknow...it fits. I can see some drunken preppy bastard wearing this egregious thing to his country club Christmas party.

WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CAN NOT BE UNSEEN.

I'm rather unnerved at how tempting I find that.

Don't you know the Orvis people laugh every single time they pocket the bucks and ship one of those nightmares out?

Made me squint.

Looking at that gave me cancer.

"This mens plaid sport coat takes refined style to a bold place." EL-OH-EL.

There are, I think, easier ways of looking like Colin Baker.

Worst? Or BEST?
