Oh, the irony
This was displayed outside a Pendleton store in the mini mall at the base of Big Sky. 270 dollars. For that, I would want a half ounce of weed in the pocket. Funny thing, there was an overweight bearded hipster dude sitting a few feet away wearing it, drinking a latte, and staring at his phone. He was being pointed at.

Is it wool? I only wear naturally sourced organic fabrics.

Pendleton makes some really nice wool stuff. But they're proud of it and the prices reflect that.

You didn't find the shop selling furs weirder with the fur dyed clown costume colors? Just walking by that fur shop on my way to take a leak in the men's room skives me out. I used to have a Pendelton wool shirt from a thrift store that lasted for years

Pendleton products are well worth the price, IMO. The original and still operating mill is located just 50 miles from me. They have an outlet store - AWESOME! Love going there.
Here's a great video on a family that has been providing fiber to Pendleton Woolen Mills for 5 generations:

That's a nice piece although not my style. I wear a Pendleton board shirt or trail shirt most days this time of year. I always get 'em on sale, sometimes blems from the Washougal factory store. They are NAFTA shirts: USA wool, USA milled fabric, sewn in Mexico, no tariffs, deal keeps old fabric mill jobs in U.S.

I experienced the same event! Walked into the Mtn Mall, saw that sweater and honestly was like holy fuck I want that sweater. Walked around the corner and BOOM, hipster sitting there drinking coffee wearing the sweater.

The whole place reeks of shitty burritos. I even checked out the price tag. I may have been the guy pointing at the guy.

Pendleton gear is awesome, and those sweaters must have 8 pounds of wool in them. I've been looking for one for a long time (but not at $270, I just want it as part of a Dude costume for halloween).
Somebody gave me a Pendleton Board Shirt and I fucking love that thing. Makes my fat look goooooood."Judge me by the enemies I have made." -FDR

BTW, Benny, I don't think what you described is irony. It's coincidence, certainly, but the idea that a shop in the Big Sky mall is selling an overpriced sweater, and then some dude is sitting in said mall wearing the same overpriced sweater is not, I think, irony.
Can we get a ruling here?"Judge me by the enemies I have made." -FDR
