'𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥' Crewneck Sweater

    The name of this sweater comes from the study of 'nuclear semiotics,' a field of research concerned with keeping people away from nuclear waste disposal sites for 10 000 years, which is presumably the time it takes for the radioactive waste to decay to levels that are considered safe to biological life. The 'spike field' idea stems from the fact that researchers must account for the possible collapse of civilization in the intervening years between now and 12000 A.D. and so any suggested tactic has to transcend both culture and language yet still deter future humans from using the area to live, farm, drill or in any way 'fuck around' or risk a grave and likely fatal encounter with 'finding out.' So, with 'language' no longer a valid tool for communication because it evolves so quickly that to modern zoomers, a book published in 1920 might as well be ancient Xyrillian texts from the planet Zolron (no disrespect to my Xyrillian homies) and, presuming any hint of 'culture' would be annihilated beneath the airstrikes of WW3 or washed away when Antarctica melted, researchers instead turned their attention toward a much more primal form of deterrence: fear. Given these new parameters, the need for alternative communication methods led researchers to the use of architecture, but spooky & ominous architecture, or, more specifically, a series of large black spikes that protruded from the soil towards the sky, each 2-7 meters tall so as to tower over any and every person who may come upon them. These 'spike fields' would stretch for miles and miles, far past which any eye could see and be so enmeshed and intertwined that passage through them would be essentially impossible (or, at least, not worth the trouble), presenting a clear and immediate danger to even the most primordial proto-human ancestors. Imagine those mofos from 'The Hills Have Eyes' but likely dumber, even they have to be scared away since apparently, they're the future of mankind...hooray! I'll add a picture of them here for you to see what they were ideally supposed to look like, the spikes I mean, not the deformed people. While future humans would theoretically be repelled by these spikes, for contemporary people like you and I, its a reminder that when science goes hard, it goes so incredibly steel-toe hard. Amen.

______________________________________

    Dark grey sweater with reddish, brownish and even pinkish undertones; a series of zig zagging strips of cotton, sometimes overlapping, sometimes distressed, culminating into a stylish, comfortably loose, oversized, & hefty crewneck sweater with long ribbing at the waist & wrists. Moody, foreboding, & very aesthetic much like the aforementioned 'spike field,' but unlike the aforementioned 'spike field' there isn't nuclear waste beneath it, rather you'll find the opposite: the cozy embrace of a heavy, well-built sweater (because the opposite of death is cozy, no?)

    Tax free. Unisex. Fits comfortably loose. 100% cotton. Made in Canada.

Size: XL
