So Kinetic^, three years on are you still searching for the perfect geansai?! Or is the old one still a classic that gets it's time to shine?

I bought the same designs 2 years from an english based company, have they moved to Ireland?

Has anyone suggested Michael Guineys, stalwart companion of the more mature person and the broke?

€45 a pop? Come off it... and it's totally wearable, they have to be atrocious looking.
gammychristmasjumpers.com are the same, €45 + €10 shipping. :rolleyes:

That Cardigan above was the nuts. I stopped bidding at $30.
Keep the suggestions coming for Brick & Mortars in Dublin.
Need one for the Cork & Dublin legs of 'the 12 Pubs' next month.

mail saying they are down to 40!!! woop woop!!

Damn, it'll be hard to come across one as truly epic as that.

Deffo.
And best worn as displayed with a shirt an tie, perfect. I'm regretting now max bidding on it.

Hasn't anyone got a handy granny that can knit up a few replicas for us!?

Very tempting. :pac: Pricey though.

Seriously though, looking out for something dodgy for the 12 pubs night out.

Lia_lia · 24-11-2009 3:10am

I'd try touristy shops. Saw an American lady with a Christmasy Irish souvenir jumper at work the other day. It was ridiculous!

paddydriver · 24-11-2009 3:17am

Here's another one to try:D

they seem like what you're looking for. they're 40 yo yos

ha-ya-said-what · 04-12-2009 5:17pm

Get a cheap wooly jumper somewhere, down to an Arts & Crafts shop get some coloured felt and some of them fuzzy mini pom poms they sell and some fabric glue, cut out what ever xmas shapes ya want from the felt and stick them all over the jumper, def win ya the tackiest and prob cost ya €10-€15 max

Actually with the felt you can just secure it on with small safety pins, least ya can use the jumper again then if you get a plain one!

Lia_lia · 04-12-2009 8:44pm

Wow, you'd make a fortune from selling these. They are going for mad prices on ebay!

Miaireland · 04-12-2009 9:30pm

Someone said to me yesterday that they got one for their Son in Penny's.

You could try some charity shops. Best of luck with your hunt.

Just a quick post to let members know that the English company has not moved to Eireland but is still in Wales.
We are not using this post to advertise but to inform and warn members of a very dodgy site called gammy. We say dodgy we could say crooked. What else do you call a company that steals designs and has them made up in the far East and then sticks them on an auction site to flog off. They hide behind the auction site you can only contact them by e mail you cant find ther address, they do not comply with distant selling laws etc. We do not mind honest compatition and there are some good sites out there but we all object to crooks making money by fraud and that is what it is. If we do not stop the crooked traders then eventually that is all we will have left and i dont know about you but I prefer to know who I am dealing with. If gammy wants to clean its act up and stop stealing other companies designs they will be welcome but untill they do they should be stoped. Lets see if they are still around after Christmas or lets see if they just do a runner.

oldscoil · 14-12-2009 10:51am

Hi Folks,

Would anyone know where I good get an absolutely hideous Christmas jumper?

I’m looking for the worst one possible, something with a reindeers nose that lights up etc etc etc…..

You know the type, pure Alan Partridge (incidentally Steve Coogan used to come to Dublin to but Alan Partridges jumpers in the Kilkenny shop) :pac:

Also if anyone has one that they would like to sell?!??

Thanks in advance Folks.

And Season’s Greetings…….

fend · 14-12-2009 3:18pm

All the good ones are sold out

gaz wac · 14-12-2009 3:33pm

its the 14th Dec...what do you expect

fend · 14-12-2009 3:49pm

its the 14th? :eek:
Sh1t times flying.... Where did the year go?

Have a look in some of the liquidation shops in your area... They sell just about ANYTHING

Twee. · 14-12-2009 4:38pm

I made my own! Just got an ugly old jumper and stuck all sorts of tack on to it. I also printed out a reindeer template I found online, coloured it in myself for that extra homemade feeling

catkingcole · 15-12-2009 2:40am

i see at least one 'alan partridge' style jumper every time i walk into a charity shop in this country. i'm still baffled about the amount of people freaking out looking for these over priced novelty jumpers when there's hundreds of horrible bill cosby/alan partridge/toy show style jumpers being thrown out all the time. i know people are all going crazy for these christmas novelty jumper parties, but i don't understand why more people don't just go down the route of just horrible jumpers that actually look like something your aunt would've given you, since its infinitely cheaper and gives way more scope for creativity.
i've seen a few people around town in jumpers from that "gammy christmas jumpers" site, and they just look like suckers to me.

edit: the point i wanted to make with this whole post is that you should go and support your local charity shops rather than buying brand new horrible jumpers/supporting the manufacture of unnecessary junk that isn't even funny. the world is dying right now, wear a horrible 80's charity shop jumper rather than a brand-new one you'll probably only wear a couple of days this year and then forget all about.

gaz wac · 15-12-2009 9:18am

Full of christmas spirit, aint we ? :rolleyes:

if christmas spirit is about helping charities and those less fortunate instead of temporarily satiating your own frivolous urges to buy yourself novelty rubbish that will only help add to the rest of the giant, unmoving trash heap we're creating on a daily basis, then yeah.... wait, did i get christmas wrong?

gaz wac · 15-12-2009 6:24pm

Who said were not helping charities

OP asked where he could buy a jumper, we told him. If you have a problem about "selfish people" or people who buy "novelty rubbish", I suggest you take your post to R&R and keep posts on topic !!

gorjess-girlie · 15-12-2009 11:25pm

They're selling a grey jumper with a reindeer on it in the women's section of New Look. It's €35. Then there's this girl - http://myworld.ebay.ie/woollybabs/

gollyitsolly · 16-12-2009 6:52pm

Crikey! If I had known Christmas jumpers were going to be so popular I would have made hundreds! Ive just made one for my son. Snowballs, bells, and penguins! Bit late to make my fortune this year spose:(.Anyone want to order theirs for next year?

Jesus Wept · 16-12-2009 6:53pm

pics please!

gollyitsolly · 16-12-2009 7:33pm

Im working on it! By the way they are not Christmas rubbish. They can be washed and put away or swopped with someone else for the following year.

What a lucky son you have.

Walked the city on the hunt this evening. There's a shop called flip just beside central bank in temple bar- has about 10-15 hand knit 80's style xmas jumpers. Exactly what i was looking for!! Delighted

18-12-2009 8:39pm

Tried all the charity shops here in Limerick with no luck. One of the funkychristmasjumpers just sold on eBay for €120!! :eek: lol €40 was my max bid!:D Must buy a few early next year and make a profit.

Thread 'Stickied' till after the silly season.

Bah humbug one and all.

squeakyduck · 18-10-2010 11:45am

You can find some horrendous ones on the internet. Google is your friend after all!

I prefer some nice jumper dresses that are plain or have some nice little stars on them!

Linguo · 18-10-2010 8:57pm

Christmas is a great excuse for crazy loud jumpers:D

21-10-2010 2:07pm

What about this "lovely" specimen!

Jesus Wept · 21-10-2010 4:36pm

Savage. I'd pay 20 for it. But 40 is a bit much.
Must have a look on ebay.
