The girl above, twitter handle Ianaya_salim reported with picture proof that she owns the same sweater that Seth wore in season 3 episode 10 "The Chrismukkah Bar Mitz-vahkka".
lanaya_salim: told every1 I had the same sweater as Seth Cohen!!! Merry Chrismukkah to all @JoshSchwartz76 http://twitpic.com/3jmgfn - 2010-12-25 19:58:24
Very cool indeed!
The details are still unknown on what brand sweater Seth is wearing or where you can buy one yourself but i'm sure you could probably get your old granny to knit you something close!
Quick site announcement, the official Chrismukkah countdown is now located at the top left corner of the site! Count-down with us the days until Chrismukkah! Ho-Ho-Ho Chrismukkah is near!
Here we have a very rare shot of Oliver handing Luke an all access backstage pass at the Rooney show in the Season 1 Episode "The Third Wheel". The interesting thing about this prop is incredible detail involved. Visually it looks like a typical backstage pass at a rock show but if you look closely to the left it says "The OC Club". Meaning the venue is called The O.C. Club! Which is rather under the radar even to mightiest The O.C. Trivia ninja's out there!
Most fans get this wrong, they thought that the venue the gang went to was in-fact The Bait Shop. Not to salt your game guys but now you know the truth...*Drops the mic*.
Robert Schwartzman of Rooney said in a interview that their time on The O.C. was kind of a blur. They had to play their hit single "Shakin" over and over to get all the required shots. Which meant lip-syncing and playing instruments that weren't even plugged in. Talk about a bit awkward!
Bonus Features:
Notable line from the "The Third Wheel":
While the gang is talking to Oliver outside The O.C. Club (sounds glorious just saying it out-loud doesn't?) Rooney the band pulls up and starts walking towards the gang. The band says hello and keeps walking towards the club. Luke looks completely confused and says:
Luke: Which one's Rooney? Anna: They're all Rooney.
Rooney:
Rooney was the first band to be featured in person on The O.C..Josh Schwartz personally liked Rooney's music so much that he had to have them on the show. After Rooney was featured on The O.C. their music sales saw a HUGE increase and put them on the indie rock pop map almost over night! It is documented that this "O.C. music effect" increased sales in most if not all artists featured on the show.

The O.C. Brother Connection:
Ironically the drummer of the band Phantom Planet (1994-2003) that brought the "California" intro in every episode is brothers with the lead singer Robert Schwartzman of Rooney.
You may have heard of Jason Schwartzman before (Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited, Wet Hot American Summer TV series), he's a fantastic actor and comes from a very talented family. Perhaps Jason also put in a good word to have his little brothers band Rooney on the show, bro's helping out bro's!
Here is the official "California" music video from Phantom Planet. Jason Schwartzman is seen in various parts of this music video.
Flashback to now Rooney's latest single "My Heart Beats 4 U" from Rooney's 2016 album titled
"Washed Away". This video is very clever and also only features Robert Schwartzman dressed
up like various characters.
In the latest installment of the Rooney, Robert Schwartzman (middle, lead singer) has gotten rid of his long time (since highschool) previous members of the band (from photo above) and started over. There hasn't been any mention of why the other original members aren't in the band anymore but were speculating that there may have been some musical differences etc.
Rooney where are they now:
The guy in the shades in the photo is Matthew Winter (ex bass player) he retired from the band back in 2010 to become a doctor! How crazy is that?!
As seen above Taylor Locke (ex lead guitar player heartthrob) briefly dated
Mischa Barton (Marissa Cooper) in 2008. These days Taylor Locke is currently rocking his
Look, its Luke's dad Carson's phone number on the Cohen's fridge, I dare you to call it! Word on the Newport streets is if you call this Portland number Luke will actually pick up (results may vary, (Carson has been known to forget to pay his phone bill). Non typical results below!
Here we have Riviera's Magazine's man of the year Caleb Nichol edition prop magazine. Interesting fact about Alan Dale (the actor that plays Caleb Nichol), he was 56 years old in 2003. I figure that one of the reasons the casting directors chose Alan Dale because he looked to be in his 60's. An interesting thing about Riviera Magazine is that it was/is a real magazine in Orange County (I always thought it was a fictitious publication). However recently the name has changed to Modern Luxury Orange County as well as a bunch of other cities. I bet back in 2003 this was a nice advertising plug for Riviera Magazine and perhaps drove up subscription numbers!
Here he is in all of his horsey horseness, Captain Oats, Seth's trusty and often silent sidekick. The very horse that helped Seth in multiple pickles that he of course most likely got himself into.
If you didn't know already, captain oats wasn't an exclusive made for tv prop. Captain oats comes from a line of horse toys by Breyer, a collectable toy company.
Captain oats is actually model 1119 "Pony of The Americas" and is highly sought after not only by Breyer horse collectors but fans of The O.C.
They are semi scarce and go for around 100 bucks and sometimes higher than that!
Recently the people that are backing The O.C. Musical purchased a Breyer 1119 (assuming online) for their O.C. tribute musical as well as a Princess Sparkles, both replicas.
So keep your eyes peeled on eBay and you too could talk to Captain Oats in troubled times!
Rumor has it that there wasn't a set number of actual Captain Oats props used on the O.C., Adam Brody has quoted that he doesn't remember if there were 1 or 10.
Where is Captain Oats now you ask? Josh Schwartz, the creator of The O.C. has both Captain Oats and Princess Sparkles sitting on his desk located in his office. Truly priceless! Way to go Josh!
Seth Cohen wasn't known for his love of sports but what he lacked on the athletic side he made up on the artistic side. Here are all three Harbor school clubs Seth Cohen was not only the president of but also the only member, sigh poor Cohen!
Comic Book Club, the only member - this of course changed a bit when Cohen recruited some new members in season two, one of which was the Zach attack Stevens.
Film Preservation Society, not much to say about his preservation skills but we do get to see some of his Cinematography skills in Season 4 Episode 14 "The Shake Up", Seth tries to prove to Summer that he can be passionate about something. So he got all artsy and decided to film 6 hours of footage of floats in the pool..which turned out well uninspired to say the least and Summer was NOT impressed!
Next Spielberg? Dream on Cohen!
And last but not least the Sailing Team, an avid sailor Seth Cohen wanted to take the Summer Breeze to Tahiti and back! Just call him Captain Jack Cohen!
Oh yes the famous and short lived model home mix Marissa Cooper made for Ryan in the second episode of season one, "The Model Home". She burned this for Ryan behind Luke's water polo playing back and then well i'm assuming it got burned in the fire that Luke started since we never see it again and due to the fact that Ryan leaves the model home with just the clothes on his back..The CD mix was suppose to educate and expand Ryan's non existent love for music. On their way to the model home Marissa asks Ryan what kind of music he likes, Ryan answers with "I listen to everything" then mentions " I don't listen to music that much". Seth immediately says "Dude that's weird.". Notable tracks included on the mix were Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah. Later on in the show we figure out that Ryan really has a thing for the band Journey, I would have never guessed that but it somehow fits. Stay tuned for the list of notable things burned in the model home fire!

Here is a rare glimpse into a very for some reason forgettable Seth Cohen show prop, No its not Captain Oats, its The Chrismukkah Work Wheel! During the season 2 episode 6 "The Chrismukkah That Almost Wasn't", Seth Ezekiel in his overly hyper Christmas spirit tries to divvy out the elf work (jewcruitment) a little different with this special hand made paper plate spinning wheel contraption (stay tuned for the DIY on how to make this very wheel). Seth never actually spins it but instead lands the arrow on the head of his choosing and begins to give Ryan, Kirsten and Sandy jobs, typical COHEN!
Bonus information: Seth makes Kirsten in-charge of the decor (glad it wasn't the cooking), Ryan is in charge of "roping in the Hebrews", which is Ryan's specialty since he is a blonde blue eyed dude. Oh yes and Sandy, yeah he kinda opts out of all the duties in which the group then says "Oy Humbug!"
