No need to freak out, folks. Despite reports to the contrary, Ken Bone's instant-hit Izod sweater is not, in fact, sold out. It's no longer in stock at Amazon, which led to the initial panic. But you can still get it at Kohl's or JC Penney, or you can just do what we initially suggested and go with a lookalike from a brand like Polo Ralph Lauren. All of these are totally acceptable courses of action. Your call.

There he was. Asking about energy policy, sure—but that's not why he spoke to our hearts and minds. Ken Bone captured the American imagination because he was a beacon of goodness shining forth from the cesspool that was Sunday's presidential debate.

There was that sweater, bright red and unabashed. There were the chinos and the button-down shirt, simple and unobtrusive. The black-framed glasses and slip-on loafers, classic and considered. The white tie, fearless and crisp.
