Kiwis we love in sweater vests

They're all the rage.



Notice the repeat above and below (thanks to skillzclemaine/Priscilla for pointing it out!)









Keep 'em coming, folks!

off to a good start...

Someone needs to undress dress Bret in a sweater vest.

I love this thread more than I love....basically everything in life.

:-*

Some of my favourites...

Bill and Ben from Pulp Sport (a sport/parody show). Particularly Ben (the one with the dreds).


They come with a Conchord connection: They did a pretty funny takeoff of a band meeting, and had a short but funny interview with Rhys which I shall post once they show up on YouTube.
In the meantime, here's a point of reference:

(If anyone wants me to post part 2 just let me know)



And the lovely Jeremy "
Newsboy"
Wells (he's kind of NZs John Stewart, but more deadpan and a little more crass).


I know, strictly speaking not in a "
sweater vest"
(in NZ they'd probably be called a woolly vest, or just a vest) but I can assure you he does wear them, and he looks stunning.
FYI, a segment of Eating Media Lunch, from an episode which he spent at the Republican Convention in a certain country full of states which are united:

Its seems I'm the only Kiwi around here these days. Its times like this I feel a little lonely, with no-one knowing who I'm talking about :-/

What the ...?


I feel like we just discovered a new subculture.

Added it to the first post just because I totally meant to put it there. Must have been distracted by the Taika-Jem twinsies... ;

I'm positive that I have a picture of Bret in a sweater vest. I will try to find it.

Thanks, Sam!! " title="" border="0"/> :-*

This sweater vest brings out the LOLs in me. My mom could have knitted it.

Awesome!! Thanks for posting it!

-- can't get enough Taika pictures. " title="" border="0"/>

What is with Taika and those teeth? Does he honestly think rednecks can afford sweater-vests? " title="" border="0"/>

I felt these needed to be added to the thread:





Also, Laura and I have made extensive searches for images of Liam Finn and Age Pryor in sweater vests with no luck...

Also, could we forget this one? Nah...

OMG, bless you, Sarah!!! And what are those Jemaine ones from? ???

And I appreciate your and Laura's Age/Liam search efforts. :-*

Thanks Jessica...

The Jemaine ones are from A Texan Odyssey (the Morrissey keynote scene).

Still a shame we didn't find any Age or Liam ones though... ;

Edit: Hey, Jessica - isn't that a vest making an appearance in your "
Cut!"
signature as well? ^^^

Doh! No wonder it looked slightly familiar. " title="" border="0"/>

OMG! yes!!! hahahahaha

So, as Sarah pointed out, you can see a sweater vest in action in my signature. ;

Here is Taika again from the EvS outtakes in same? vest:



So far, I think he might be winning this thread. ;

Ok, this seems to be his favorite:



On could possibly say:
That vest : Taika :: The Stripey Sweater : Bret

Well sargifster, your post has inspired my first avatar...I just thought that shot was so irreverent, had to have it (tho it's funnier full sized. oh well). Hope you see it as a compliment, and not a reason to come to the US and kick my butt...!! If you want me to dump it, no prob!

Oh, that is excellent!!!! I love it!

I am going to love seeing that cuddly sweater vest every time you post. Please post often...

(no butt kicking planned here... Only maybe some Jemaine sweater vest gifs! This made my evening! )
