I don't like how they interfere with my peripheral vision and they don't keep your head as warm as a mugger hat.

Plus only people who wear them around here are Greeley meth heads.

Is the hoodie a symbol of lowlifes or can respectable people wear them? Most of the time I see them, they're being worn by trash. If you own one, what brand is it? Does it serve any purpose other than giving you extra pockets?

You are 100% correct. Since I wear one sometimes, you should endevour to avoid any and all contact with me.

I have a Walls hooded sweatshirt that is a zip front. It is very warm for this time of the year when it is getting into the 40's  and higher 30's .

Quite a few of them. Makes carrying concealed very easy.

I have several....plain for fall and sherpa lined for winter.  I hardly ever use the hoods though.  It has to be a cold blastin' wind for me to put up any kind of hood....that peripheral vision thing.  I like how they keep my neck warm though with the hood down.

How I look in them?  Don't care.  Neither should you.

Just don't pull the good all the way forward, slide it back a little bit. That's how I wear it when driving and I got all my peripherals.

If you wear one with your pants hanging off and Lugz boots on, with a flat brim baseball cap, yes you will get treated differently. Sometimes life's not fair, deal with it.

I have a Patagonia Mixed Guide Hoody. It definitely serves more than one purpose being windproof and waterproof. Even though it's called a hoody, it's quite techincal and may not fit into your description.

BUT, I did hold onto some high school hoodies from when I played soccer and the wife loves to sleep in them. We don't really wear them at our jobs or in public. They would serve as great "gray man" apparel around here in the case of some unfortunate event, but apart from that...I try to look well put together.

iv got a bunch of " sweat shirts".. they also have hoods..... but i pretty much NEVER use the hood... unless its raining... or im about to freeze to death.


thugs wear the hoods up pretty much 24/7 from what iv seen... more to hide identity... than for comfort.

ill be wearing one in about a hour, as i drive my tractor 2 miles down back roads to my land.. its 50* here today, and chilly..... hoodies are great for working outdoors... not too hot, and if you get hot, you can tie it around your waist..... or like me, ill wrap it around the tractor rollbar and tie it in a knot.... i cant do that with most jackets...

when it gets cold, i put a military goretex jacket over the hoodie and drive on.

I wear decent nice ones that Have a product or Place I visited on the front, when its chilly outside.

Perception is yours to control.  Your overall appearance is pretty important if you want to look like a decent member of society.

Pull up your pants while you are at it.

This.  Hooded sweatshirts were around a long fucking time before hoodrats slithered out of their welfare queen's snatch.

Cinch it up around my neck to keep my neck warm.
Use the hood sometimes but it blocks my side vision.

Most people from TX look like trash regardless of their attire.  Sadly the best dressed people I see on a regular basis are Mexicans in jeans, a collared button up, elf-like cowboy boots, big ass belt buckle, and a stetson.

It replaces the LaRue hoodie claimed by my wife.

I have a number of them.  

I have light weight Hanes ones, and I have a heavyweight insulated Cabelas that I wear in the winter.

It's not the clothing item that makes them ghetto.  It's the person wearing them.  It's a good idea to remember that.

And I don't give a single fuck if someone wants to stereotype me because I'm wearing a functional, clean, comfortable piece of clothing.  If that's your type, I don't have the time of day for you.

Ghetto people are ghetto.  Just because I wear a hoodie on occasion does not make me ghetto.  I also don't wear suits, a fedora, or a tie on a regular basis.  Still not ghetto.

And no, my pants are not below my waist.

Since they're often on the thin side, they're great for layering. Plus, when the hood is not deployed in its upper position, having it bunched around the neck helps keep drafts out. Pullovers only, don't like the zip-ups.

Used to live (and work outside all year) in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. They were almost a necessity there. Not so much here in AZ, but I still have 2 or 3.

I prefer them over non-hooded sweatshirts.
