I have a cardigan, albeit without a zipper. It was not easy to find one. I went into Macy’s (the main store, the formerly-largest-department-store-in-the-world) and asked if they had any cardigans. Received a blank stare. “You know, like Mr. Rogers wore. But with buttons, not a zipper.” Received a blank stare. Someone else came over to help me and I repeated my request. “Oh yes! I love Mr. Rogers! No we don’t sell any cardigans.” About as bad as my experience with “the World’s Greatest Toy Store.”
(Turns out H&M had cardigans)
I’m told there’s an episode where Mr. Rogers visits a factory to see where and how cardigan sweaters are made. (A former colleague supposedly showed it in his business class.) I’ve yet to find it, though.
