einstein’s big gray sweatshirt

see note for reviewers.

while most consider einstein to be one of the most

brilliant minds

to ever have graced our human history,

there is one rumor that needs to be dispelled

when considering the man’s

wardrobe---

there are those that say he wore the same brown suit

for the majority of his life & that

he had piles of the same exact tie,

as well as the same exact socks, etc.---

the fact remains that when his wife was alive,

albert paraded around the world in

everything from “silk vests to a kimono” & though

after she died,

he did dumb it down a bit---

hating suits & socks,

he famously wandered the halls barefooted in

sandals &

his favorite big gray

sweatshirt,

and while we are eternally grateful to the man for his

contributions to

science,

one can only imagine that he held something of the same

gratitude

for the designer

of the cotton sweatshirt

Author's Note

“If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies... It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.”

-Albert Einstein
