We put a cheeky twist on the classic reindeer motif with our Staghorn Sweater. Big, strong bucks with regal antlers on the front of a yoked sweater have been a manly favorite for decades, but now we’ve captured the majesty of deer butts, too! Enhance his backside with these unusual “deeriers” in gorgeous detail. Clever stranding charts on the sides of the sweater allow for easy sizing without disturbing the image. Rows of leaves, acorns and squirrels add a quirky touch to the woodland theme. Contrasting piping, two-color corrugated ribbing and sprawling trees along the edges add depth and detail that will make this a seasonal favorite.
