Einsteins Big Gray Sweatshirt
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.
