Ah, the hoodie. It's a divisive subject, to be sure, hailed by some as the only piece of warmth-providing knitwear a guy could ever need (incorrect), and by others as a sartorial signifier of the end of civility (also, probably, incorrect).

In an age when some brands (which shall remain nameless) are designing clothes to fall apart over time, a new company that's genuinely devoted to well-crafted, durable clothing is, well, a good thing. Now if only they'd make a crewneck version.
