Niche Biz: Ugly Christmas Sweaters

Lost that ugly Christmas sweater Aunt Ethel made you in the 80’s, but you need something to wear to your next ugly sweater party? One company has made it their business to provide people with the ugly sweater they need, reports The Street.

Self-titled tacky sweater aficionado John Kaplar took his love of these sweaters to a new level — and started Skedouche.com in 2009.

Kaplar began designing his own sweaters when he came to the conclusion that what was already out there was “boring.” He started with over-the-top holiday sweaters like the Lighted Fireplace Sweater with 3-D Stockings and the Santa Pimp Sweater.

Kaplar’s holiday gear has earned notable mentions and he was recently featured in Jimmy Fallon’s “12 Days of Christmas Sweaters.”

“Our Christmas sweater store is overflowing with the tackiest, ugliest, most festive and obnoxious Christmas sweaters around. And everything is brand new,” the company’s website states.

Customers can also buy things like LED Christmas sweaters, Hannukah sweaters, candy cane scarves, hats and in its latest expansion, St. Patrick’s Day gear.
