« Crocheted Shawl | Main | Ben Sherman Men's Shirt »

Addison and Halsted, Lakeview, Chicago, IL
This sweater was dusty and covered with little pieces of street debris when I found it lying by the curbside. It was also slightly flattened, so I'm guessing that somebody ran over it while parking or un-parking. Just laundered it and now it looks much better. There's a tiny snag near the collar in the back -- an easy repair job.
The brand is Flying Tomato. If you visit Buckle.com, you can find some of their wares.

Hi, great site you got there. People throw away so much without giving it a second thought. We can collect unwanted items like you do, repair them and send them to more needy nations of the world. Actually the http://climatarians.org reveals related ideas. We have a surplus. They have a lack. Perfect supply and demand scenario. Time to act.
Keep harvesting!

Not sure why anyone throws away good clothing. There are lots of places in need of clothing - womens shelters for example.
