I heard that Champion was the original hoodie manufacturer? rolleyes.gif

 

I love hoodies, wear them tonnes.  I have 4 criteria when buying them, since I found a great hoodie for me about 4 years ago.

 

1) It must have a zip that goes all the way up so that depending on the temperature I can zip up/undo them so I'm not too hot/too cold.

 

2) It must have a waffle (this is what I call it, but I'm not sure if I am correct) style hood. Seems so much warmer than regular hoods, it really does seem to lock in the warmth between the layers, kind of reminds me of honeycomb.

 

3) Large pocket so I can put my ipod or cd player in.  Havent got any hoodies with a zip pocket, actually that wouldnt be a bad idea.

 

4) Cuffs fit snugly around the wrist so they dont slide over my hand, which becomes annoying when driving especially.  Also, if I want to tuck it behind my watch so I can check the time I want it to stay there until I move it deliberately.

 

The best one I have is a 4 year old £13 Lonsdale one similar to but with a different style inside the hood (that waffle hood style I mentioned before)

Skip to 3.55 for Pete Wentzs hoodie collection, excuse the awful quality of the video.

I can't see any of his collection with that quality haha. I'm trying to get one without a giant stamp in front, so now I'm waiting for the right color and size for the J Crew Sherpa http://www.jcrew.com/search/searchNavigation.jsp?eneQuery=Ne%3D1%2B2%2B3%2B22%2B4294967294%2B20%26N%3D205%2B16%2B4294966730%26Nu%3DP_productid&NUM_ITEMS=45&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441803736&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474395184137&bmUID=1291068647696. That lonsdale one would be perfect if it didn't have those giant words up front! frown.gif I'm too picky

I'd hit it.

 

The hoodie, not the model.

 

 

Where did you find it and does it come in mens?

Looking for a black hoodie with zipper, any suggestions?

If you want a regular hoodie, I recently bought a DC hoodie for $20 shipped off of whiskey militia. Those are pretty good. You could also look into special-blend, foursquare, forum, or burton hoodies. These usually have black ones too and are plenty warm for streetwear and snowboarders alike.

Personally, I would go for a soft shell ski jacket. They're expensive, but they're wind-resistant, water-resistant, comfortable, and on top of all that, they look very good. North Face and Columbia make very nice ones (and I'm sure that there are tons of other extremely nice, smaller brands, but those are the big ones that come to mind). Shop around a local ski-shop and see if you like anything. My jackets are some of my favorite clothes, they look nicer than a hoodie, and are more functional

+1 Good quality ones should last you a long time!

Kind of looking for a plain black, with no logo printed on it. I'm having a hard time finding this, everything has something printed on the front of it. Weird/Annoying.

Like the look of this Gap hoodie, shame its £50 though.  The quilted inside looks good for winter weather.

I have a few hoodies, Patagonia and cheaper but the best i own i got a Banana Republic believe it or not.  It is thick 100% cotton and warm.  It also has a zip up from the bottom so you can have more room when you sit if you want.  The Patagonia is recycled material and i got it at half price but it was still pricy and not as comfy as the BR one.

 

Edit-Old Navy/Gap/Banana Republic are the same company but in that order their quality and cost go up.

BR makes quality clothing although it can be pricey. Usually there is a sales section and you can find some great stuff there at a more affordable price!

If you don't mind spending the money, you might want to look into Velvet Men.

Hands down the comfiest hoodie I have ever worn. Actually, most of their clothing is unbelievably comfortable. The lining is plush, plush, plush! I find myself wearing just the hoodie on crisp nights do to the plushness of the lining.

The hood is large and you can actaully wear your cans underneath the hood if you wanted.

Extra bonus: the ladies love it :)

Really need a hoody myself preferably of organic fabric. Does anyone know of a decent European online-shop?
