About
Mohair Sweater Guys refers to a series of viral images featuring pensive-looking men sporting large and fuzzy mohair sweaters and outfits. The images first started going viral on Twitter and TikTok in late 2022 and were primarily sourced from a Pinterest community of mohair and fine textile sweater enjoyers.
Origin
Mohair is a fabric or thread made from the hair of an Angora goat, indigenous to Turkey. The fiber is durable and resilient, often exhibiting a glow or sheen, and is used to add shine when mixed with other fibers. The fiber also takes to dye well, ensuring a vibrant and lasting color on the textile.[10]
