If you're serious then there is a difference between a generic "hoodie" and a quality sweatshirt ( with a hood )


The good ones are generally 10-14oz fabric, pull on or full zipped, with a 2 ply hood, ribbed sides, bottom & cuffs. Even better if it's a reverse weave fabric ( it holds it shape better )


As for sans-brand, I'd rather go for a genuinely classic item like a "champion" upon which many designer brands base their cut and panel design. I'd rather un-pick or blank out the logo, than a buy a non branded but cheaper "uniqlo" or something similar which eventually ends up bobbly and out of shape.


It's better to see a quality item on an older guy. At least it makes you look like you know a bit about these things.


Oh, and lastly the colour has to be "grey marle" or at a push "white".


Good luck.

To finish that saying: "You cant polish a turd ..... but you can roll it in glitter"


Mr Ben would look lovely in a Hoodie; and nothing else but a fine pair of sling-backs, he has the legs for it.

Life isn't that bad if we can have a convo re: acceptability or otherwise of wearing a jumber with a hood, is it?


If it hasn't got a logo on it, wear away I say


If it has got a logo on it, there is a league table of names - the top 10 of which might find you accosted by me in the street. I'm looking at you A&C. Or Bench.

Like I said a de-logo'd classic item is king.

In grey-marle preferably. Navy for a sweatshirt but not a hooded one. Black, no. White if you have a natural tan, and if you are in good shape with all your own hair.( and decent teeth ) think Richard Gere, not Chris Evans, actually IF you are like Chris Evans wear the hood up and back to front, whilst walking up Barry Road at rush hour.


BUT whatever you do, please avoid the drippy "dad-ish" brands sold locally. Usually in "tumble drier grey" or "dishcloth brown" colour.


I'll kick your friggin balls off if I see you in one.

I have a pal who moonlights on male fashion for that well respected source of style advice, GMTV.


He says "fine but older men should never put the hood up". Wise words when you think about it eh?


A while back he asked me to join him on the sofa for a feature on string vests. I should have done it.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
