The Jersey Sleeve Monster!

Shirts beware.... there is a monster on the loose, and apparently the only thing he eats are sleeves! He has never been seen, heard, or smelt.. He comes swiftly, and effectively in robbing Men, Women, and Children of quality sleeves! The Internet only provides one image, and in my opinion is a crude vision of what this monster may look like! However, it is the only documented picture of him, and I must respect it!

This Monster has been credited with birth of the sweater vest, tank top, basketball jersey, and most notably.... the sleeveless shirt!

Via this, a new revolution has begun. The Era of exposed arms is among us, and we must buy in, or revolt against this progressive step in fashion! With this change comes a desire to have strong and bulky arms for the boys, and cut slim arms for the girls...... Well in some cases it can be the other way around! 

This Monster is also responsible for the terms: "Suns out, Guns out!", "Curls for the Girls!", "Bi's for the Guys!"

If I were to envision this beautiful creature, he would look a lot like this:

Notice his sleeve eating grin, and grubby mit's (also known as hands) Now, you may think he looks a lot like Harry from Harry and the Hendersons (1987, Starring John Lithgow), and if you thought that, then you are exactly right! But, this is how I see my sleeve monster! If you have a different vision, please share it!

When I performed my first Bicep Curl, I was welcomed into an exclusive group or people who choose to wear shirts without the sleeves... Almost like a right or passage, one must earn the arms to wear shirts which expose them! 

In my opinion, The Jersey Sleeve Monster keeps the balance.. but sometimes his hunger takes control, and folks who should have sleeves are left without them! Greedy Sleeve Monster!!!

Thank You for sharing this journey, of a Brave Pioneer who changed the shirt/hoodie/sweater/Arm game forever!!
