My wife is obsessed with this Instagram account called @chonky.animals which features, as you may have guessed from the name, fat animals. To me, the whole thing smacks of owner negligence – pets shouldn’t be allowed to get that fat – but it makes her happy, so whatever. Anyway, if there were a similar account for sweaters (@chonky.sweaters, if you will), these new Recycled Wool Waffle Knit Sweaters from Patagonia would make a great entry. They’re responsibly-made in China out of a recycled wool / recycled nylon blend and have raglan sleeves, and a thick, cozy waffle knit. Plus, unlike those poor, obese animals, these aren’t in any danger of heart disease or diabetes. Goddamn negligent owners, man.
