Luigi Mangione is very well-liked, for a m-rder suspect.
The 26-year-old showed up in court this Monday following his arrest for the k-lling of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson earlier this month and apparently made a statement with his outfit.
Mangione was seen wearing a burgundy sweater over a white dress shirt, as well as grey slacks and orange shoes.
It was initially believed that he was wearing a $1,000 Maison Margiela sweater, but subsequent findings indicated he had put on a Merino crewneck sweater from Nordstrom which goes for $89.50 and was on sale for $62.65.
Luigi Mangione Crewneck Sells Out
Luigi’s appearance seemingly prompted plenty of sales, as the sweater is said to be sold out. However, the Independent notes that it could be had in six other colors.

Meanwhile, Mangione pleaded not guilty to all of the charges read to him.
His lawyer, Karen Agnifilio, argued that her client was being treated like “political fodder” instead of a defendant, given the extra-heavy security and the presence of New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
