A second chance at a sold-out sweater
The Home Depot put its first-ever holiday sweater back on sale Thursday, Oct. 15, two weeks after the initial batch sold out. The company said in a Sept. 29 announcement that a limited run would launch at 11 a.m. ET on Oct. 1, with a second release on Oct. 15 while supplies last, limited to one sweater per customer. [1]
NBC News Select reported that the restock was scheduled for 11 a.m. ET on Oct. 15 and that the sweater is sold online only, not in stores. Home Depot's announcement directed shoppers to a dedicated event site rather than its main store website. [2] [1]
What comes in the bundle
Home Depot describes the $29.99 sweater as a limited edition that mixes a classic novelty holiday sweater with the company's orange apron, complete with apron-style pockets. It comes in unisex sizes XS through XXL. [1]
According to the company, the pockets arrive filled with a Husky 6-in-1 screwdriver, a Husky 25-foot tape measure, Husky 8-inch slip joint pliers, a Husky 850-lumen rechargeable LED headlamp, a DeWalt 9-inch torpedo level, a pack of Command clear outdoor light clips, and a Milwaukee mechanical pencil with a 10-pack of replacement lead. A $50 Home Depot gift card, which the company says is peppermint-scented, is also included. [1]
NBC News Select described the knit sweater as orange and green with the Home Depot logo and front pockets modeled on employee aprons. [2]
How much is it worth?
Value claims differ depending on who is counting. Home Depot says the tools and accessories alone total more than $150. NBC News Select said the bundle includes "more than $200 worth of stuff" but did not itemize how it reached that figure. [1] [2]
ToolGuyd, a tool news site, added up listed retail prices for each item and arrived at about $119 for the tools and accessories, with the headlamp at $39 the most expensive piece. Adding the $50 gift card brings that tally to roughly $169, before counting the sweater itself. That suggests the larger estimates depend on whether the gift card and the garment are included. [3]
How the first drop went
NBC News Select reported that the sweater was a hit at its Oct. 1 launch and sold out in minutes. ToolGuyd reported that the sale page later read that the first drop was sold out, and readers in its comments section described sizes disappearing within about a minute of the 11 a.m. start. Those reader accounts could not be independently confirmed, and Home Depot has not said how many sweaters were made for either release. [2] [3]
The sweater is part of Home Depot's 2026 holiday decor and gifting push. The company announced it alongside its holiday decor collection and seasonal savings, and it also launched a 2-gallon mini paint bucket ornament on Oct. 1, according to ToolGuyd. [1] [3]
