This morning, Doug showed me an article on men’s fashion from the Financial Times. It’s called “The Family Man; A celebration of ageless style”. I think that there is a paywall on FT, so I don’t have a direct link to the article, but will show one photo here. The article showcases photos of intergenerational style, including many lovely and sometimes eye-wateringly expensive clothes modelled by many ages of boys and men. There is one photo which I keep coming back to, because it leaves me completely confused. I think this photo is lovely, and the sweater is luscious, but… is it one sweater or two? What is the baby wearing? Is there a kangaroo pouch? Look at it carefully and see if you can see why I’m confused.

You are right. The more I look at it, the more odd the sweater construction is.
Yup, it’s odd.
Custom-made for a proud dad?
Looks like a jumper with a baby in the pocket! One central pocket. Weird.
Agreed. But if the baby is in a pocket, how come we see his feet?
Good point, very odd.
I think it is a hole, not pocket.
Perhaps a swancho cover for a front facing baby carrier – hence the visible feet.
Looks like a baby wearing jumper, but you’d never wear a baby that low down!
That is fully baffling!
Strange! I think the man is wearing a jumper and he is awkwardly holding a baby who’s wearing a poncho the same colour!
Seems to be a new thing..dad sweaters (or shirts) https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Zvr5H9weL._SY450_.jpg
Mystery solved! It’s a thing! Who knew? (I still wonder about the feet….)
