I'd never wear them when I was a kid, but now I am liking them for whatever reason. I've been wearing sweaters more often the past few years.

I am a suspenders guy when I go skiing. Also, my mom always wanted me to wear V-neck preppy sweaters when I was a kid so I know about those itchy memories. I wear sweaters now too. Before, at 307 lbs, I was always hot and sweaters were a no no. Now at 180 I like the added warmth. Great post and keep up the good work. http://run4change.wordpress.com This post is funny.

Suit and tie while there. I like sweaters, but never really find the one that hangs on the body well. I do the grey hooded (hoodie) sweatshirt when I'm not at work. Suit and tie while there.

I think you're on to something there- I'd be all over a "fat-camo" line of sweaters. Then I could tell people that I'm not fat, I'm just fuzzy.

When you are not quite "fitting" into those pants, and the button seems to tight, it also hides when you "ease" your waistline. Great fashion-flaw saver in tough times. Love your blog.

I am so hot natured I would be sweating all the time. They have their place, just not on me. :-) <strong>You know I thought the same thing but it really hasn't been a problem for some reason.

When I was younger, I was the fat kid. I used to wear t-shirts and pants that were about 2 sizes too big. When I look at old pictures, I looked really, really silly. Good memories! <strong>You have a funny definition of "good" :-)</strong> I have a similar story. When I was younger, I was the fat kid.

I wear them to work out, helps me feel like am "sweating more" and it also helps when its 40 degress out and you are running at night. <strong>You probably mean sweatshirts, right? Or at least fleeces? I don't think I've seen anyone exercise in a proper sweater. Despite the name. :-)</strong> Im a sweater guy, but not in the same sense as you John.
