America's presidential debate sweetheart, Ken Bone, to auction his sweater for charity

Since the second presidential debate, energy policy question-asker Ken Bone has become an Internet sensation, a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and his iconic outfit has even become a sexy Halloween costume option.

Bone, 34, is now hoping to leverage some of his newfound fame: He has decided to auction off the red sweater that won a million hearts, according to the Belleville News-Democrat.

Rather than pocketing the cash, Bone intends to donate the money to fight homeless and help with voter registration efforts, the newspaper reported.

"I'm not going to be the internet guy who overstays his welcome," Bone said in an interview. "I'm sure this will be over in a couple of days. But as long as people are paying attention to me, I'm glad that I'm able to bring to light the issues and spark the energy debate, and tell people they need to get out and vote and make their voice heard."

Just how popular is Bone and his iconic red sweater? Following the debate, news outlets were eager to identify the maker of the sweater, with GQ declaring its best guess as to who makes the quarter-zip sweater (Izod, in case you were wondering). Esquire put together its own style guide, in case there were readers looking to replicate the look on their own. Esquire also helped squash the fear that the sweater was sold out, by providing links to purchase a Ken Bone sweater of your very own.

But we all know that buying a brand-new Izod sweater is not the same as owning the original. As for when and where the auction will take place, that is yet to be determined. Bone is still fielding requests for interviews wearing (of course) that same sweater.
