<p>Every year, lots of little shithead punks await the announcement of the new <strong>Descendents</strong> holiday sweater.  I most definitely used to be one of those shitheads. I mean, I still sort of am, in that I want to see it but I don&#8217;t purchase them anymore since they switched from the $24 crew necks to the $60 knit sweaters.  This new trend started last year, and I actually ordered it.  After it was all said and done, I want to say I spent around $70 to get that sweater to my door. The size small I ordered fit me more like a L/XL.  I immediately sent it back and I was bummed that my tradition of ordering the new one every year was coming to an abrupt end.  Something else I noticed was that in the previous [crew neck] years, they would almost always sell out.  Now this year, they&#8217;re doing a special if you order the 2015 AND 2014 version, you get 10% off. Needless to say, I guess they didn&#8217;t sell out of last year&#8217;s sweaters.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" width="600" height="176" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29886" src="http://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/26601_1840x540-600x176.jpg" alt="26601_1840x540" srcset="https://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/26601_1840x540-600x176.jpg 600w, https://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/26601_1840x540-450x132.jpg 450w, https://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/26601_1840x540-1024x301.jpg 1024w, https://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/26601_1840x540.jpg 1840w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p>You can order the sweater now via <a href="http://kingsroadmerch.com/descendents/">Kings Road Merch</a>. You can peep the photo below that I&#8217;ve been posting every year to show the OG versions of the holiday sweater when they were affordable crew necks.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" width="600" height="450" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29887" src="http://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12278871_10153739520174889_4830365014875279928_n-600x450.jpg" alt="12278871_10153739520174889_4830365014875279928_n" srcset="https://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12278871_10153739520174889_4830365014875279928_n.jpg 600w, https://punkworldviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12278871_10153739520174889_4830365014875279928_n-450x338.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p>I still wear them and probably always will each holiday.  The only other &#8220;holiday&#8221; sweater I&#8217;ve purchased that&#8217;s music/band related was a black one, similar crew neck style, from 2013&#8217;s Nardcore Bowling. They were $20 and at that time, the whole &#8220;ugly holiday sweater&#8221; crap wasn&#8217;t so overdone like it is now with bands. Everyyyyyyyyy band has a holiday sweater of some sort.  Despite the new trend, I will always wear these, and I will also make my boyfriend wear them because I like to match. OKAY, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!</p>

<p>I have to admit that I was pretty shocked to see the 2014 holiday sweater was an ACTUAL sweater. The crew necks are made to <em>look </em>like a real sweater but obviously, are just sweatshirts. The new one is a full on knit sweater and with that, comes a higher price tag. $65 to be exact. See below.</p>

<p>These aren&#8217;t the only differences this year though, there is normally a pre-order done first, and then the pre-order ends and there&#8217;s a gap between then and when they make them available for purchase. However this year, there is NO PRE-ORDER! This is purchasing NOW and shipping NOW. So, you can <a href="http://www.kingsroadmerch.com/Descendents/view/?id=6593&amp;cid=831">order one NOW</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kingsroadmerch.com/Descendents/view/?id=6593&amp;cid=831">Kings Road Merch</a> is always the vessel for this treasure, and they always sell out. As much as I do not want to spend $65 plus S&amp;H, I had this feeling that if I didn&#8217;t purchase it now, I would end up buying a $200 one off eBay that was two sizes too large. I not only love the Descendents, but I love Descendents collectibles like this shit.</p>
<p>Now, I mentioned that they always sell out, which they do (of most sizes at least), but I&#8217;m wondering if this drastic change in material/price is going to negatively or positively impact sales.  Will more people buy it because it&#8217;s a high quality, knit sweater? Or will less people buy it because it&#8217;s more than twice the price?  I have to admit, I&#8217;m eager to see! If it had been any higher price, I&#8217;m not sure if I would have forked it over out of principal alone. I feel sort of guilty about getting this one honestly, because I shouldn&#8217;t be spending this frivolously right now&#8230;. BUT HERE I AM.  You can have a buyer&#8217;s remorse pit in your stomach too if you want and go <a href="http://www.kingsroadmerch.com/Descendents/view/?id=6593&amp;cid=831">purchase one</a> now.</p>
