Looking for recommendations for a casual wear, feel good hoody.
The type you put on at home when it's a bit Parky, skies are grey and it makes you feel cosy, warm and happy.
I recently missed out on the KLATTERMUSEN Falen wool blend hoodie, that looked ideal.
Soft cotton with a brushed finish? Not entirely wool, perhaps a polartec Heavyweight fleece?

Big hood to pull up and drop over my eyes when wanting to catnap In it.

Ideally with a Pass through pocket.
Something outdoor gucci branded (I'll be looking at buying used off ebay)
Cheers

depends on you definition of casual and its not a hard face type so not good out in the wind, but the MH MonkeyMan fleece is lovely and very snuggly.
the older versions are thicker than the newer and look a bit like the retro pattaguci stuff.

i think it only came in full zip though so doesnt have the pocket you crave

or you may be able find an MH "UnClassic" fleece which ticks more boxes, hooded, kangaroo pocket etc
i found every MH piece i had really well made

Now most of my Merino stuff has died i just visit the local Chinese market/shop and have a gander there for stuff around the house

Got a really warm hoody with pile inside for 5 euros
2 years on it's still going strong
Told the Chinese lady at the store to save any more she gets in for me

So you don't need to go for anything named to get something warm, comforting and that lasts :thumbsup:

I am looking at workwear/not outdoor gucci aswell. The branding is just a bit of vanity.
Might just suck it up and stick my woolpower on under one of my pulse hooded.. I just love something I feel cosy and happy in.... IMG_20200430_141412.jpg

Although its a hooded zipped jacket, the Mountain Equipment thermal pro Diablo is very nice, has 2 handwarmer pockets and a heathered finish so abit more wind resistant than normal fleece.
I have 2 :whistling:

I find Surfdome always have a good range of hoodies.

Although today I'm wearing my fav grey marl hoody I got cheap from Mountain Warehouse. Its a good relaxed fit and keeps me warm. Also I've a Under Armor heatgear pull over hoody which is really warm, and sized so it baggy.

That look grand... I loved my old HH thick lapped fleece jacket... The one I had is Rare these days.
I dropped down the rabbit hole there... Some great items at decent prices...
Even something like this is ideal and I can have my own logo added in the future...

Cross neck, 330gsm, thumb loops, chunky hood.
AWDis. Pity I can't find one in blue available until wholesalers are open again. I might attempt to make a design and wait for printing availability.
Cheers
