After some good-natured ribbing about his taste in clothing, General Wesley Clark, the Democratic Presidential candidate, has decided to donate his much-famed argyle sweater to charity.
Clark wore this sweater in public appearances on the campaign trail in chilly New Hampshire during the month of January. The sweater sparked conversations and op-eds around the country regarding Clark's taste in clothing. (Such as this.) He claims that what the sweater lacked in style, it made up for in warmth. And given the record-breaking temperatures this season, that's no small consideration.
He has donated his famous sweater to Liberty House, a transitional shelter that is opening for homeless veterans in Manchester, New Hampshire. Liberty House is auctioning the sweater, and all proceeds of this auction will be paid directly to Liberty House. It will use the money to help homeless veterans get back on their feet. When fully operational, Liberty House will offer shelter and counseling for drug, alcohol and post-traumatic stress disorder issues.
The sweater is grey in color, with an attractive argyle pattern in tan, dark green, and dark red. bron
