Latke Night Ugly Hanukkah Sweater: One More Batch Since Sundown
Quick answer: Latke Night is our ugly Hanukkah sweater starring the capybara, our Chief Festivity Officer, frying one more batch of latkes long after sundown. It comes as an all-over-print sweatshirt ($79.99, 2XS to 6XL), a tee ($27.99, XS to 5XL), kids and toddler tees, and two couples sets, all printed to order. Order by November 23 for delivery by the first night of Hanukkah, Friday, December 4, 2026.
The oil lasted eight nights. So will he. Somewhere around midnight on the third night, the capybara announced one more batch, and he has been announcing it ever since. The pan is hot, the applesauce is out, and the stack on the counter keeps getting taller.
Latke Night is one of four Hanukkah designs in our range, and each one owns a tradition: Slow Burn has the candles, Powder Day has the sufganiyot, Spin Class has the dreidel, and this one has the latkes.
What is on the sweatshirt
The capybara stands at the stove in a blue Hanukkah sweater, spatula in one hand and a cast-iron pan in the other, flipping a latke with total composure. A tall stack of finished latkes waits on the counter beside bowls of applesauce and sour cream. Behind him, a nine-candle hanukkiah glows in the window against a snowy night. On the sweatshirt, that whole kitchen sits in a panel on the chest, framed by blue and cream fair-isle bands that run around the back and down the sleeves.
The Ugly Rating: 7 out of 10
7/10, “one more batch.” He loses points for restraint: the latkes are perfectly round and nothing is on fire. He wins them back for stamina. Nobody has seen him leave the stove since the first candle.
What the cast made of it
Sitting Duck, Head of Quality Control
Tasted one latke, said nothing, and accepted a second. In his department that is a rave review.
Cool Cat, Head of Morale
Brought a cocktail to the kitchen and stayed for the applesauce versus sour cream debate. Declined to pick a side, which kept the peace for eight nights.
Raccoon, Chief Operating Officer
Counted the potatoes, counted the guests, and ordered more potatoes. The capybara was informed and did not adjust his pace.

Wearing it to a latke night
Wear it where the latkes are being made. The sweatshirt is printed edge to edge, so it holds up to a kitchen full of steam and a little splatter, and it washes like any sweatshirt. Plain jeans and a plain shirt underneath keep the focus on the stove.

FAQ
Why is it called Latke Night?
Because every Hanukkah has one: the night someone stands at the stove frying latkes for everyone, long after they planned to stop. The capybara is that someone, and he has made peace with it.
Is it knitted or printed?
Printed. The sweatshirt is an all-over print, edge to edge, and the tees carry a knitted-look badge. Printing lets the character appear exactly as drawn. Our real knits are the traditional fair-isle line.
When should I order for the first night of Hanukkah?
By November 23 for delivery in the US by Friday, December 4, the first night. Orders up to December 11 still arrive in the US before Christmas and the later nights.
Does the price change by size?
One price at every size: $79.99 from 2XS to 6XL on the sweatshirt, $27.99 from XS to 5XL on the tee, and one price per pair on both couples sets.
Is there a kids version?
Yes. The kids tee comes in youth S to XL at $24.99 and the toddler tee in 2T to 5T at $21.99, both with the same badge as the adult tee. See every design in our Hanukkah collection.
The Festive Folks’ Verdict
Buy Latke Night for the person who does the frying, every year, without being asked. It scores a 7, it prints edge to edge, and it comes in every size from toddler to 6XL. Order by November 23 and it arrives before the first latke. It pairs well with Powder Day, and the rest of the family is in our Hanukkah collection.
