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.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
