Famous explorer in his Christmas jumper

This image is from the days when men were men and jumpers were jumpers. If Edmund Hillary could carry it off, so can you.

If only modern explorers could rediscover such a sense of personal style, but the demands of corporate sponsorship prefer identical logo-strewn fleeces to home-knitted individuality.

I seem to be stuck on chunky knitwear this month. Look out for the Grey Fox Christmas jumper guide next week.
