The San Remo Striped Turtleneck
Details
93 MacDougal Street
You’re tucked into a booth at San Remo Café. Pressed tin ceiling. Black-and-white tile floors. A second espresso on the way. The dollar salad, too. You survive on those.
In your hands, Tennessee’s new work-in-progress. He's asked you for notes, with a caveat scrawled on the cover page: "Not too kind. Not too honest." On you, wide-legged cropped chinos and this turtleneck sweater. Wire-rimmed glasses perched on your perfectly pert nose. An array of silver rings on your fingers. Your fingers on the very pulse of a literary movement.
Years from this moment, in 1960, it’s here at the San Remo that writer Ron Sukenick sees blue jeans on a woman for the first time. Is that you, too?
The San Remo Striped Turtleneck (No. T4692). Terrifically cozy long-sleeve striped sweater with an elongated turtleneck that gives it extra panache. Made from luxurious 100% viscose. Imported.
