Garment has yet to experience a torso.
A dusty-rose sweater has completed its eighth consecutive summer around the shoulders of club member Rupert, according to sources close to the collar.
“I don’t wear it for warmth. I have properties for that.”— Rupert, club member
Purchased for its versatility, the garment has attended tennis, lunch and several conversations about the importance of hard work. Its sleeves remain tied in front, well clear of any responsibilities.
Rupert says the sweater is an essential part of his active lifestyle. This season alone, it has accompanied him from the terrace to the car while someone else brought the rackets.
He may wear it properly if the weather turns. The family is considering moving lunch indoors before taking such a step.
