Sad Hipster is Sad
Let’s face it, hipster life is not always easy.
It’s hard to get up in the morning, knowing you have to put on your sister’s jeans and ride your fixed gear bike all the way down to the meatpacking district, just to get some fair trade coffee. Some days you just want to pull that ironic T-shirt over your head and stop reading Noam Chomsky on your iPad.
Hey man, I hear you.
But when life gives you Meyer lemons, you have to make French Lemonade. You have to look for the good things in life, even when you’re pale and sad and your hair isn’t quite long enough to cover your eyes.
So come on! Fire up The Decemberists on your record player (because vinyl is the only medium that matters) and let yourself go. Sure, you only have one sleeve and a neck hole, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dance!
March 4, 2011 at 10:26 am
HK is WINNING! I’m going to link this to LATFH.
March 4, 2011 at 1:16 pm
My thoughts exactly! The joy of LATFH combined with the joy of Regretsy. Definitely the best crossover since the Flintstones met the Jetsons.
March 4, 2011 at 5:47 pm
That is exactly what I was going to do! LATFH + Regretsy = amazing.
March 4, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I didn’t know Adrien Brody could knit.
March 4, 2011 at 10:03 pm
FUCK!! Teach me to post before I check the rest of the posts. Thumbs-down me for being late to the party….
March 4, 2011 at 10:26 am
Sleeve scarf — because putting on pants is a silly way to be warmer.
March 4, 2011 at 12:17 pm
Just for you Ruth – the Cthulhu Cowl Owl Octopus Sad Hipster
March 4, 2011 at 12:20 pm
Sabrina, I love you with every cog in my steampunk heart.
March 4, 2011 at 12:25 pm
That’s the worst downmarket version of Harry Potter I’ve ever seen.
March 4, 2011 at 1:54 pm
It actually looks better now.
March 4, 2011 at 1:55 pm
I demand you take my likeness down! How dare you make me popular and gain me cultists! Before you know it I’ll be mainstream and all the cool elder gods will think I’m a poser!
March 4, 2011 at 3:23 pm
That’s POSEUR, thank you! (Uh oh, is my early 80s showing? Damnit!)
March 4, 2011 at 6:45 pm
i just fell in love
March 4, 2011 at 10:27 am
Sad dancing hipster should be dancing like Baryshnikov in those manly tights! Holy bulging spandex, Batman!
March 4, 2011 at 10:32 am
Okay, slightly bulging.
March 4, 2011 at 10:52 am
Now we know why he’s so sad.
March 4, 2011 at 11:05 am
nice camel toe, oh it’s a guy.
March 4, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Male camel toe = Moose knuckles
The more you know.
March 4, 2011 at 2:51 pm
After reading all the comments, it seems y’all already know. Dang.
Sad interwebber is sad.
March 4, 2011 at 11:24 am
That’s the most disturbing. They don’t even look like spandex! LATEX, maybe. *shudder*
March 4, 2011 at 11:51 am
Those are “manly” hipster jeggins. So metrosexual…
March 4, 2011 at 10:28 am
OH JESUS. FUCK LIL KIM NIGHTGOWN, SAD HIPSTER IS MY NEW FAVORITE REGRETSY POST.
And yes, I am really shouting in glee! Glee, I tell you!
March 4, 2011 at 10:33 am
Cool which episode will your shouting be in? That’s one I’ll actually watch*.
by “actually watch” I mean, “watch religiously”
March 4, 2011 at 11:11 am
Then I’m sure you noticed that this shop sells several varieties of arm warmers – throw in a sweater with a carousel horse on it and you can be Brittany S. Pierce!
March 5, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Wasn’t there a recent episode of Glee that included arm warmers?…Ah, perhaps I am late to the party…..
March 4, 2011 at 10:29 am
With bike shorts as revealing as those, how could you be sad?
March 4, 2011 at 10:29 am
could part of the depression be due to the sad little lump in his blue lyrca?
March 4, 2011 at 10:53 am
Damn! You beat me to it.
March 4, 2011 at 10:32 am
Hipsters may need to become its own category. But what would its tiny logo look like?
March 4, 2011 at 10:44 am
March 4, 2011 at 11:17 am
Couldn’t resist. Hipster/Bieber hair is harder than it looks!
March 4, 2011 at 11:49 am
THIS!
March 4, 2011 at 11:53 am
MUCH better.

That’s the Guy on the Pringles can gone Steampunk!
March 4, 2011 at 9:28 pm
My nine-year old son caught a glimpse of this sad steampunk hipster and started laughing so hard he snorted. He loves it and wants me to make sugar cookies frosted like it.
March 5, 2011 at 9:44 am
I demand pictures of the sad steampunk hipster cookies. Because they sound so deliciously ironic
March 4, 2011 at 11:26 am
Bah I messed up =( Makes this more pertinent.

I didn’t realize there was a market for my UFOs, let alone one as profitable as this.
I’m outta here to cast on Open Top Hat, Sock with No Toe, and Sweater with No Sleeves.
March 4, 2011 at 10:45 am

That’s great! I have a bottomless cotton tote, a hexagonal baby blanket with five sides, and an unstuffed/flayed teddy bear to contribute to the cause.
March 4, 2011 at 6:19 pm
I have a sock I never knitted a mate for. And it’s kid-sized. It could be upcycled into a fascinator!
March 5, 2011 at 8:51 am
do you have some plastic watch parts and purple barrettes to hot glue to it?
March 4, 2011 at 10:32 am
Those are superhero tights.
You sir, are no superhero.
March 4, 2011 at 10:34 am
And the tights only amplify his apparent sadness.
March 4, 2011 at 10:36 am
Can you imagine going through the day with only one sweater arm to wipe your nose on? Poor hipster.
March 4, 2011 at 10:43 am
see actually that was a cape, and he got tangled up in it
March 4, 2011 at 11:29 am
Super hipster, avenging all things ironic in his pursuit for the perfect mustache, while ignoring the mainstream.
March 5, 2011 at 1:57 pm
…and sighing in frustration as he composes passive-aggressive rants in his head regarding how many times he has to come back and try to explain the deliciously ironic point he was trying to make, but then it’s not amusing any more, but how is that HIS fault? You just don’t understand…(and sighing again in frustration.)
March 4, 2011 at 2:19 pm
I thought they were PajamaJeans.
March 4, 2011 at 10:33 am
Do hipsters wear pajama-jeans now?
March 4, 2011 at 10:33 am
Seriously I love you! This is too fuckin’ funny! Sad Hipster Dance is going to be my new White Girl Dance! Lets face it, only a hipster has less rhythm than this white girl!
March 4, 2011 at 10:33 am
Holy frak, HK, have you seen the “Ghost Hood“? Sad hipster gets stuck while trying to take off his sweater.
March 4, 2011 at 10:36 am
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

March 4, 2011 at 10:46 am
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Both of those first 2 pictures cracked me up, it was difficult deciding which one to post.

Thank you for the “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT” moment.

One of Dicken’s lesser known ghosts-The Ghost of Hipsters Yet to Come.

Based on the comments here regarding his tights, I’m guessing it’s not the same guy in the “ghost” stained glass window.

I might be able to take him more seriously if he didn’t have Bieber hair.
March 4, 2011 at 8:44 pm
Even Justin Bieber doesn’t have Bieber hair anymore. Perhaps that’s another reason sad hipster is so sad.
March 4, 2011 at 10:35 am
I wonder if this could also be made available in left arm sleeves? Or is it right sleeve only?
Must contact seller.
March 4, 2011 at 10:45 am
I was gonna ask about a two-sleeved version until I remembered that would just be a purple sweater-shrug.
March 4, 2011 at 11:08 am
Of course it doesn’t come in a left arm version, that would look ridiculous.
March 4, 2011 at 11:36 am
The way I see it, you have two options:
1) Buy the right-arm sleeve, and wear it backwards, because who the hell could tell even if there were a front or back, or
2) Convo the seller, wait for the response that says the custom job will cost twice as much, and then get the right-arm sleeve again anyway and wear it backwards.
March 4, 2011 at 10:37 am
I had to look up from writing in my leather-bound journal, but don’t judge, because I found the leather in a second-hand shop and crafted it into a journal cover. Where was I? Oh, yes, the one-sleeve. This is exquisite in that it represents the yin and the yang. The upper class- which has everything: warmth, shelter, sleeves; and the lower class- which makes everything: sleeves, but does not get to partake in such luxury.
And, the use of purple is a way of thumbing our noses at that upper class- the “royalty”, as they like to be called.
The $200 price tag is because Momma’s gotta eat. That fair trade coffee ain’t cheap and the rent on my artist loft just went up because the building is thinking of going condo.
March 4, 2011 at 11:18 am
200 samolians?! O.O
March 4, 2011 at 5:46 pm
You had me at “leather bound journal” ….
March 4, 2011 at 10:39 am
I know what will make him happy.
Some help getting his sweater on completely.
March 4, 2011 at 10:39 am
I love sad hipster.
Don’t understand the tights. And super skinny man legs confuse me.
But I love sad hipster.
March 4, 2011 at 10:40 am
Evolution called – we aren’t at the one arm stage yet, hipster.
March 4, 2011 at 10:41 am
This man was beaten and the rest of the sweater was ripped off, can’t you tell by his bruises? Or is that purple eyeshadow?
March 4, 2011 at 10:41 am
They stole his junk too
March 4, 2011 at 12:02 pm
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought “bruises.” I wouldn’t want to be caught projecting.
March 4, 2011 at 10:41 am
Skeeve would be an appropriate name for both the item and the model.
March 4, 2011 at 10:44 am
That would make a great half skant!
March 4, 2011 at 10:44 am
Wait, skantS.
..I guess if it’s half skants, though, it’s just skant…?
March 4, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Uniskant.
March 4, 2011 at 10:44 am
Most people pay a lot more than $200 to be sad hipsters – what a bargain!
March 4, 2011 at 10:46 am
Working the drive-thru window is awful in the winter. Your right half is always freezing from leaning halfway outside to hand people their food while your left half is roasting because the fry table is, like, right there.
I wish there was some kind of garment that would address this problem.
March 4, 2011 at 10:50 am
Well do we have the perfect product for you!
March 5, 2011 at 9:46 am
And it’s such a bargain!
March 4, 2011 at 10:46 am
He needs that free arm for dj-ing.
At the bookstore.
March 4, 2011 at 10:48 am
Cheer up, emo kid… I’m sure there’s a mustachioed balaclava out there with your name on it.
March 4, 2011 at 11:59 am
I always read balaclava as baklava. Somehow that’s just as funny. Sugary desserts with mustaches. I think we have a new product to make.
March 6, 2011 at 6:22 pm
This could be the mustachioed balaclava you are looking for

March 4, 2011 at 10:49 am
Are his pants made of silly putty? Because that’s the impression I’m getting from the looks of it.
It just looks like he wrapped the rest of the sweater around his neck. Your not fooling anyone, sad dancing hipster.
March 4, 2011 at 10:54 am
You’re*
Curses.
March 4, 2011 at 10:51 am
Sad, sad dancing hipster. He’s particularly sad because he’ll never be cast in another “modern dance” sequence in a Gene Kelly or Danny Kaye movie.
That IS where they found that douche, right?
March 4, 2011 at 2:16 pm
Holy shit, did you just make a Danny Kaye reference? Can we make sad hipster babies together?
Imagine the little one-legged footies we can knit
March 4, 2011 at 9:04 pm
*bows* I’m cultured. No really, they’re thinking of naming the species after me.
(dying of laughter over here that anyone even GOT the reference)
March 4, 2011 at 9:34 pm

March 5, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Hipsters cannot be into Danny Kaye. I am into Danny Kaye. I was into Danny Kaye in MIDDLE SCHOOL.
Fucking hipsters fucking ruin everything.
Unless it is just you nerds, in which case, that is okay. Danny Kaye admiration requires other fans to upload YouTube videos for me to watch. TIA
March 5, 2011 at 1:24 pm
I caught that & love it, 69!
Your pun, I mean, not your bacterium.
March 12, 2011 at 1:21 pm
I adore Danny Kaye! I even spell my name like his I like him so much! There’s some real Derring-do!

And now it’s in your head too. Wait is that what the sad hipster is dancing to?
March 4, 2011 at 5:27 pm
Frozen “Alanis”?
March 5, 2011 at 1:33 pm
She’s been sucking on coins. Candy is so conventional, y’know?
Also, I love that you can buy either a ridiculously large scarf, or a ridiculously small scarf. Scarves that are actually useful are way too overdone these days.

I think Sad Keanu Reeves could use a sad hipster sleeve scarf.

Yay! A Who reference! I think I’ve fallen in love.

Now he can brag that his “art is misunderstood.” That should get him laid. If he ever can untangle himself from the Chinese sweater trap, that is.

I’m sure they went through the same process I did:
1. Look at Regretsy post, think “WTF.”
2. Check out shop.
3. Realize it’s actually better than a lot of stuff on the third floor of Bergdorf Men’s.
That happens here a lot.

March 4, 2011 at 11:07 am
people really dress like that?? oh my. sometimes i guess it’s not so bad to live in fashion-backward Alabama….
March 4, 2011 at 11:40 am
Woohoo!! Glad to know I’m not the only person in Bama who loves Regretsy! Whenever I show the site to people, they usually just run away.
March 4, 2011 at 2:33 pm
The sad thing is that most people I show this to don’t “get” it either – um, hello it’s called hilarity? Tragic, really – when thugs can’t get the time of day from clueless dipshits.
March 4, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Sigh…. and here in Austin, I’m asking , “Does anybody NOT dress like that?” If you want some hipsters of your very own, I’m thinking of starting an export business.
March 4, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Hmmm…I have a few questions…
-How sad are these hipsters? Are they one- or two-sleeved?
-How much coffee and brown rice do they go through in week?
-Do they prefer to go for walks to “do their business” or will I need to custom make them a bike for this?
-Can I keep up their “just woke up from sleeping on the curb” look myself or will I need to find a groomer?
These are serious inquiries. Any answers I receive will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
March 4, 2011 at 7:57 pm
Oh yeah – Austin is a major spawn point for the hipsters! Just try to avoid walking into one when you’re headed to Kirbey Lane for gingerbread pancakes…they will rape your dreams. The hipsters, not the pancakes.
March 4, 2011 at 8:50 pm
Try downtown Seattle. Please don’t export to us, we have a surplus…to match our surplus of coffee bars.
March 5, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Feeling your pain in Gainesville, FL. Perhaps we could start a hipster exchange?

Someone needs to teach sad hipster that he does not need to create a new item for every size or colour available, as though these were miraculous discoveries that the pixies left him in his knitting/silk-screening patch overnight.
Last I checked *most* people that could stumble their way onto Etsy were also able to decipher the cryptic seller-lingo of XS, X, M, L, XL, etc.
March 4, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Except that one of the ways to be “successful” on Etsy is to post a new item every 20 minutes. It keeps your store at the top of the heap or something like that. That’s what someone in my quilt guild who sells vintage clothes and fabric and seems to make some money off it tells me.
March 6, 2011 at 2:41 pm
and it’s because of the people who enjoy watching the just posted items in search of something intersting
March 4, 2011 at 11:10 am
Sad dancing hipster just made my happy fuckery-filled day! I’m pretty sure he’s trying to make his lower half colour match the face of his model. Either that or she is suffering from oxygen deprivation and will pass out soon and sad dancing hipster is just too sad to help resuscitate her…
March 4, 2011 at 11:11 am
As an aside, and to up the fun factor while snarking on SSH, we need Bronc or Max (or anyone) to make a photoshop cutout for us to paste a variety of codpieces onto. Because that ‘package’ is sadder than the hipster.
March 4, 2011 at 12:37 pm
Sad hipster probably had a huge bulge back before bulges were cool, but now he’s kind of meh about it. Having a normal-sized penis is so mainstream, and he only screws vinyl now anyway.
March 4, 2011 at 11:13 am
Shop’s nickname is seriously C.Lit??
March 4, 2011 at 11:22 am
Okay, but THAT’S AWESOME.
March 4, 2011 at 11:25 am
Lots of guys have a hard time locating it though.
March 4, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Dang. I keep getting out-commented today!
Good one!
March 5, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Guess it’s a good thing it’s not called the G.Spot then…
March 4, 2011 at 11:28 am
LOL, I was about to comment on the awesome of that shop abbreviation.
March 4, 2011 at 12:14 pm
The same reason people who has never seen fairies but longing for them name their etsy shop Faerieland
March 4, 2011 at 1:08 pm
Yeah, but isn’t it creepy that C.Lit is owned by a guy? I think I’ll change my shop to something pretentious like “Gestalt Landscape” but call it G.Lans for short, just to even the score.
March 4, 2011 at 11:20 am
Jeez! Every model in this guy’s store is ungebluzen!
March 4, 2011 at 11:27 am
I’m sure there’s a pill for that too.
March 4, 2011 at 10:46 pm
*Ungebluzen*. Good one!
March 4, 2011 at 11:26 am
I like how cleverly Sad Hipster has matched his eyeshadow to his arm-scarf.
Unless it’s tiredness induced from late-night coffee drinking and iPad reading. Still, good matching there.
March 4, 2011 at 11:26 am
1. men shouldn’t wear lycra, we don’t want to see your penis all smushed up like that, seriously.
2. the shop name is very patronizing… cubist literature… ?
March 4, 2011 at 2:13 pm
They make dance belts. Men who wear tights should seriously invest in a dance belt. Seriously. ‘Cause I work at a Renaissance Faire, and have seen enough men in lycra without dance belts to know!
March 4, 2011 at 3:18 pm
Those are the two things I learned about in my seven years of college.
March 4, 2011 at 8:53 pm
Those are two things I wish I never had to learn.

No, shameless would be using his Dad as the model. Truly shameless (and beyond tacky) would be using Dad as a model once he’s corpse-blue.*
*I have no tact. I also go for the low-hanging fruit, particularly when someone continues to produce said fruit at such easy-to-reach levels.
March 4, 2011 at 12:59 pm
Alas, this one seems to have no low-hanging fruit.
Or fruit at all.
March 4, 2011 at 3:26 pm
Actually in those pants it kinda looks like he’s got some low-hanging fruit. And I REALLY didn’t need to know that.
March 4, 2011 at 3:27 pm
Uh, sry, nesting fail. I can’t even do regretsy right. I’m a sad sad hipster. But I can’t dance – I want to SING!
March 4, 2011 at 4:03 pm
If you want sing out sing out.
If you want to be free be free
fuck now cat stevens in in my head.
yusaf islam . whatever.
March 5, 2011 at 3:39 am
There’s a million things to be, you know that there are. Even a sad hipster with a sleeve. A sleeve-scarf. Or something.
March 6, 2011 at 11:54 am
Love it! No hanging fruit indeed.
March 4, 2011 at 1:09 pm
If only I didn’t have my dad cremated… The modeling possibilities. If y’all see a black plastic box in any of my product photos, you’ll know what that is.
March 4, 2011 at 3:15 pm
We had the dog cremated and boxed. I should start making dog collars.
March 4, 2011 at 5:02 pm
OMG, we both missed out! I could have insisted on keeping my dad’s corpse available as a background. Fuck barn wood.

Heh, don’t even try, Sad Hipster. You’ll never pull the ‘bulge-in-spandex’ look better than Bowie.
March 4, 2011 at 11:38 am
Now we know what it would look like if Adrian Brody and Howard from Big Bang Theory had a baby.
March 4, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Well done! I was thinking Emmett Kelly + Harry Dean Stanton:

At least the purple eyeshadow matches the scarf nicely.

Sad dancing hipster is going right alongside Das Poop in my regretsy cheer-up video list. Thanks HK!
March 4, 2011 at 11:47 am
Sad Dancing Hipster makes me happy.
March 4, 2011 at 11:48 am
There needs to be an eHow article on “How to deal with being featured on Regretsy” for Noob-bob-bulge-pants here.
Don’t try guilt trips. Especially when you suck at them.
Don’t say “please die thanks” on Twitter and think that deleting the Tweet will actually work.
Don’t be a douche. Or a liar.
Those who have laughed with Regretsy, and don’t get so far up their own asses that they can’t laugh a little at themselves, have actually been greatly helped and welcomed to the fold by Regretsians
Cryabeetus and flouncery, while immensely amusing to the crowd, really do hurt your cause
(On an unrelated note, “Cryabeetus and Flouncery” sounds a bit like an obscure British comedy.)
March 4, 2011 at 12:20 pm
…and remember, Streisand Effect
March 4, 2011 at 1:03 pm
“Cryabeetus and Flouncery” could be:
A store in Diagon Alley catering to whinging Hogwarts’ students
A law firm
An emo band (a VERY emo band)
My new Etsy store name
March 4, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Damn, if I weren’t already so attached to the name of my business, I swear I would rename it “Cryabeetus and Flouncery”.
March 4, 2011 at 3:13 pm
Oh, no! Now you’ve gone and done it. You made yourself an enemy. A hipster enemy.
A hipemy.
March 4, 2011 at 9:36 pm
Sounds like a Fry & Laurie bit.
March 5, 2011 at 12:05 am
I had that thought too. Then I got a headache trying to reconcile the Prince Regent from Blackadder being House.
Which is even more troubling than Barbarino/Vincent Vega/Edna Turnblad.
March 4, 2011 at 11:51 am
He just protected his Twitter feed. Sad troll is sadder than his work.
March 4, 2011 at 11:53 am
This would be SO much better with a bird on it.
March 4, 2011 at 11:54 am
me thinks someone got a knitting machine for their birthday
March 4, 2011 at 12:01 pm
I honestly can’t figure out what he’s thinking.
a) he’s having a bad week – getting over the flu, father dying. Good-natured fun where a bunch of recreational snarkists criticize his work and bring him lots of business cheered him up.
b) Cryabeetus and Flounce, which I think was the law firm in “Great Expectations.”
In either case, he’s not asking for the post to be removed.
March 4, 2011 at 12:06 pm
I can see your hipster mooseknuckle
March 4, 2011 at 10:10 pm
And what will you raise him?

Hey! I can knit partially completed shapeless shit. I could totally be a millionaire in no time, right?
March 4, 2011 at 12:19 pm
How dare you assholes laugh at this poor man! Clearly, this is a picture of an interrupted suicide-by-hipster-craft, and instead of mocking this lost soul we should talk to him, offer to feed him some damn food and get to the root of the pain that causes him to dress his lower body like Spandex Smurf. Come on, people! There’s a medical examiner out there who would have to list that cause of death with a straight face! Won’t someone think of the medical examiners?
March 4, 2011 at 1:44 pm
they never do. What would Quincey do?
(spandex smurf… haa ha ha)
March 4, 2011 at 12:23 pm
At least C.Lit and Regresty agree on something! See we aren’t all so different, now are we?

How can Etsy be improved? Any feature requests?
Nothing important comes to mind! I think that Etsy’s a great site. I really have no complaints.

Mighty hipsters unite! Now go zip up your ripped hoodies and hit up the local Fresh Coffee shop that you’re ohsocool for knowing about that noone else does! and complain to people who care, will nod and sympathize, and let us enjoy our fun.
Do you know how many people actually get a ton of hits, make a lot of money off of these posts, and enjoy us? ALSO, alot of Regretsians are also Etsyians.
I raise my mustached tattooed finger to my lips for you. And oh, honey, please do something about your hair…your face is so pretty.
March 4, 2011 at 1:09 pm
If we’re such useless do-nothings why bother engaging us at all? Shouldn’t you just be off living the life that you love so much?
Whoops, gotta go change the toner in the copy machine. You know how these soul-killing office jobs are!
P.S. I gave you a thumbs-up!
March 4, 2011 at 1:15 pm
I do believe a large portion of regretsians are etsians by way of buying and selling…and love regretsy for that reason…
March 4, 2011 at 4:39 pm
Haha, shows what I know — I figured we’re all probably Etsyians…
(..You know what they say: the other 1% is lyin’..”)
March 4, 2011 at 6:27 pm
I started shopping on Etsy thanks to Regretsy.As long as you dodge the resellers, you can find some really gorgeous stuff, along with the fun off-the-wall stuff.
March 4, 2011 at 1:31 pm
I thought your father was dying. I’d stop complaining that regretsy readers have no life and get the hell off regretsy yourself and tend to him. Unless you were just caught in a manipulative emo bid for sympathy.

March 4, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Flounce!
March 4, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Pff. A real hipster would be laying into his PBR right now, not getting all huffy about some snarky comments posted on some cynical attempt to make a living off of rejected knit sweaters and artsy poses. Hell, we’re probably giving him business. Thank regretsy for that next gulp, hilariously-named-after-genitalia-guy!
March 4, 2011 at 3:02 pm
yeah i strongly suspect rejected sweat shop sweater pieces upcycled refurbished repurposed all by hand of course
March 4, 2011 at 2:48 pm
I used to flounce before anyone knew what a flounce was. Now, it’s just too mainstream.

My college had a reputable Fashion Design program. Rumor was, first-year students who didn’t show enough promise would be taken aside by their advisor and told to transfer to Fashion Marketing. (And thus, Fashion Marketing students were regarded as the dumbest and most futureless creature since God invented the undeclared sophomore.)
Anyway. Maybe this is what happens when Fashion Design majors aren’t aggressively scrubbed from the program.
March 4, 2011 at 1:07 pm
They did that at my school, too. Except replace “fashion Design” with “Electrical Engineering” and “Fashion Marketing” with “Computer Science”
March 4, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Remind me not to contract any electrical engineers from your alma mater.
March 4, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Or, rather, computer scientists.
(Is “computer scientist” a word? No. Because you don’t have a “library scientist.”)
Remind me not to contract a computarian from your alma mater.
March 4, 2011 at 7:31 pm
I’m in a University fashion program right now; it’s the same thing here. There’s a reason that Fashion Marketing students are able to dress fabulously every day while the design students end up looking like zombies and sleeping under the drafting tables, just sayin’ ….
March 4, 2011 at 1:14 pm
The work LOOKS good, but who runs around in the winter with one cold arm? Judging by the model, I was expecting scarf pants. (Parfs? Scants?)
March 4, 2011 at 1:49 pm
I absolutely refuse to buy this SLEESCARF unless it comes with glingers!
Or at least with one glinger for middle finger, as I can envisage passers-by having duck-faces at me with WTF? so at least I’ll be able to curse back in style!
March 4, 2011 at 1:59 pm
This post made me laugh out loud, complete with butt hurt seller.
March 4, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Obviously the item is targeted at men in tights. Sleescarves come in handy in archery when your scarf can easily get traped in your arrow, so the sleeve stops it from flying away.

For something that I, a beginner knitter, could whip up in a couple of days. And mine would fit too.
March 4, 2011 at 2:46 pm
That is IT!! I am going in my closet and ruining ALL of my sweaters in a cost-effective attempt to glean one iota of joy from my soul-sucking, Corporate life.

Theres your 70 bucks
March 4, 2011 at 10:23 pm
I’ve got a pair of old leg warmers in a drawer that look just like that.

If he was really offended, he could-of course-request that it be taken off and it would be gone.
But then-of course again-he would be missing out on publicity, views, and possible sales.
So he will act offended, and bitchy about the whole thing. While in reality, he’s reaping the rewards and loving it. In other words, he’s smiling on the inside.

He should worry more about keeping his willy warm. If it’s cold enough to wear a scarf and to keep right arm warm he could get a frostbite right in his leggings – ouch…
March 4, 2011 at 4:14 pm
HK, your powers of prediction are getting a little woohoo, scary! Shall we start the count? How many times on the FP as the new Admin fave? How long until One-Arm gets FS? Finds? re-Finds? A poster at the Etsy Booth? A one-armed written puff piece in the NYT?
HK, have you predicted the next who-actually-wears-a-cowl Bklyn hipster trend with now-that-your-neck-is-warmed-up-how-about-adding-one-arm?

Actually, he did post on that thread at the time.
The t-shirts are silk-screened; I think he put “Sharpies” in his list of materials used after the t-shirt was featured on here.
I read the story about the saying – it’s a note a Belgian friend left for him (in French), and it’s actually kind of sweet. I’m Belgian, but I’m waiting for the Flemish version to come out. We Belgies are fussy.

Wait – what? Why did my comment not go to the bottom in the first place? *sigh*
March 4, 2011 at 9:13 pm
I know. I keep getting confused by not seeing my posts and then finding them earlier in the list. Sad commenter is sad.

Sad hipster doesn’t count.

Wah-lah! Instant sad hipster collection!

Hipster 1: Hey! Lets get together and do stuff
Hipster 2: Like what?
Hipster 3: We can make retarded shit and put it on etsy
Hipster 4: I have some leftover makeup samples we can smear on our faces
Hipster 1: Awesome.

You know, I could knit that shit in like two days; is there actually a market for it? Because DAMN that is a good market.

I just signed up because my need to share THIS amazing creation with you was far too strong. Here in the UK we are being overrun by hipsters, and the streets decided to hit back:

Ha!

That was beautiful! *sniff*

Dammit. If I didn’t have a life I wouldn’t have missed the flounce.
March 5, 2011 at 10:32 am
Looks like someone was knitting a sweater, got bored of it, and then turned it into a scarf.

I moved moved to a crack infested ghetto in Brooklyn called Williamsburg 17 years ago. After a few years, the crack & bullets were replaced by something far worse…yes, hipsters. I’m surrounded by them all the time, I want to kill them all.
Two things have stopped me from mass murder:
The hipster olympics

And Look at This Fucking Hipster

And now I can add Sad Dancing Hipster to that. Thank you, Helen Killer.

Oh my aged aunt. Thank you for that link. I’m going to stay away until 3 laughing at the hipsters, aren’t I?
March 5, 2011 at 10:55 am
Hey! The Decemberists are for theatre and literature nerds, not hipsters thankyouverymuch!
March 6, 2011 at 12:01 am
Promise? Because I almost had a heart attack and called my doctor to make sure I hadn’t contracted Hipsteritis when I read that in the post. I <3 the Decemberists, and was very concerned that it was a symptom of a very dangerous disease.

C. Lit knitted goods? C. Lit?
I’m trying to remember — where did I run across “clit” before? Damn, it’s on the tip of my tongue…
March 6, 2011 at 5:02 am
Inspired by regretsy. Was meant to be called “sad hipsters”, but they turned out to be quite happy, so “hipster giraffes” instead.
Adding sleeves to their scarves proved to be impossible in ACEO format…
March 7, 2011 at 10:15 am
are these any relation to the HSPA exam giraffe?
March 8, 2011 at 5:49 am
Not sure what you are on about… It must be a US thing?
March 6, 2011 at 6:47 am
The item is sold AS SEEN and would suit a DIY enthusiast who would like to put their own finishing touches to this jumper.
March 6, 2011 at 8:57 am
Oh damn, I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time! No wonder my hipster score isn’t very high, better get on the non-conformist bandwagon and get one of these puppies!
March 6, 2011 at 11:41 am
I tried to post this earlier but can’t see it on the thread…
This guy should catch up with the rest in this video… Hipsters unite; don’t you know it’s cool to look like a douche?!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVmmYMwFj1I
Oh, and greetings from the UK! I signed up specially, just to share the vid with y’all.
March 6, 2011 at 2:55 pm
I love how in 100+ comments, no one pointed out that it’s “very” handmade
I wonder if that means he made the yarn too?
March 10, 2011 at 12:28 pm
His bulge was much bigger before he started spinning the yarn …
March 6, 2011 at 9:06 pm
Every time something I like features in a hipster joke a little bit of my soul dies. I love you, Decemberists. D:
March 11, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Ok. I just need to get this out there…..big Regretsy love and hipsterdom need not be mutually exclusive. I shop at Urban Outfitters, have a useless post-grad degree, like Belle and Sebastian AND Die Antwoord, own vintage Ray ban-esue shades, and work in media…. but I also have my life brightened daily by you fine folk and genuinely find hipster jokes funny (because, fuck, some people REALLY take themselves too seriously).
Maybe it’s because those that are made fun of generally ooze self importance and define themselves by through their ‘hip’ signification, or maybe I just have a sense of humour. Either way, this guy seems a right noob. Keep the fuckery coming!
March 11, 2011 at 1:51 pm
Oh, and also this: http://www.urlesque.com/2011/03/10/sad-etsy-boyfriends/
It links back here
March 7, 2011 at 11:20 am
Is he sad because his bulge is small?
March 8, 2011 at 12:18 am
Bahah, someone posted this on Cheezburger. It’s up for voting, not on the main page, but still. Regretsy: Upcycling Etsy and sharing it with the world.
March 8, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Real dudes do not wear tights. Sure, the 1 in 1000 who are dancers might, maybe. But not real dudes.
March 12, 2011 at 7:48 pm
40,000 quatloos to whoever redoes this as an “EXTREME!!!” ad. I’d do it myself if only I wasn’t so
cyber-moronicshiftlessbusy downloading free pornneo-primitive/post-tech.How cool are these sleeve scarves? Werner Herzog has three of them, THAT’s how cool:

This is so freaking bad that it’s good
