And here I thought the OP said that people were making burbury sweaters out of dogs. Would that be okay?
Until it got wet. Then you’d smell like a wet dog, which is never a goal to which one should aspire.
Am I the only one who came in here and thought it was a sweater made from dogs?
I had this whole thing planned out too about how I don’t see the moral difference between cow leather and dog fur etc. The sound of that wooooooshhhHHHH could have drowned out a 747. Oh well.
That’s not the only thing hard on a wanker. 
Photographs, please…
You know, Merl (may I call you Merl?), if you really desperately want a sweater with that pattern, find a friend who knits and ask if s/he could make one for you. The pattern is made up of all straight lines and shouldn’t be terribly difficult to knit, it’s just a matter of counting.
My question is why you would want a plaid sweater (plaid sweaters don’t flatter very many body types) in such a recognizable and, at the moment, trendy pattern?
Burberry is only trashy if you wear it as part of the trend. I want to wear it because it’s an old and classy company with quality clothing, and I like the look of their pattern - dark yellow is my favorite color. I was insipred after seeing the raincoat of my 60-year old Italian literature teacher, not some ad in Teen People.
I wear argyle sweater vests, dress shirts, knit cardigans and what have you almost every day - it’s not as if I’m a thug or a “chav,” I’m just well-dressed. Where I am, you only see Burberry on trendy girls’ scarves - never on real clothing.
Come to England and you will see more Burberry than you thought possible.
How does little Snookims go piddle in that plaid number?
Is there a little slot for his microscopic wang?

If you dress your dog in Burberry, then you must dress like this
It’s only fair.
My mom’s dog wears a sweater too. It’s a small dog (Manchester Terrier) with very short fur. I think the dog look silly in her sweater (small black dog in a bright yellow sweater–looks like giant bee), but the dog really does get cold. Doesn’t wear boots though!
My dog had boots too - little nylon pouch-style things that velcroed around each foot. Every time she walked in them, she acted like she was trying to kick them off.
Such hostility is being shown toward people engaged in a harmless activity with their own money and pets!
Shakes, when you publish your “How to Live Life According to Shakes” book let me know. I want to be the first to read it and call you a wanker.
Merl, that goes for you too. (although you’d probably name your book “How to live life according to Merl” but you get my point.)
I was at our dog park once and I heard 2 people talking. The man’s dog was like 15 years old and had a hard time getting around, you know, because it was like 15 years old.
Man: I’m thinking about taking it to someone to see if we can find out what’s wrong.
Woman: Well, a vet’s just going to tell you he’s old. There are dog psychics that will tell you what the dog is telling them.
Man: Oh, really, that sounds like something I should try.
Woman: Yeah, they can even do it over the phone.
This is when – in an effort to see just how stupid they are – you’re tempted to say, “oh, yeah, I happen to work for them. If you give me cash right now, I’ll have them send you a letter with your dog’s diagnosis.”
Compared to something like this, that sweater sounds like a pretty heads-up deal.
