The Regrettable Sweatshirt Hoodie

Should Be Donned For Beach Bonfires Only!  To the degree that the sweatshirt hoodie possesses much needed functionality is the degree that it possesses major shortfalls in fashion. [Read "g'awful appearance" here.] "But the winds are constantly blowing and it's always a bit brisk at Pacific Northwest beaches," you say.

What is one to wear if one forgoes this hooded horror?

Some preferable alternatives follow:
  • a wool hat from Wapiti Woolies, a true Cascadian favorite, or
  • a custom wool hat from Vermont Originals, a true New England favorite. (See The Daily Prep posting here), or
  • a twill golf cap from one of your favorite links (as understated as possible).
Note Well:  Tongue is firmly planted in cheek whilst I write this. Because at the end of the day (literally), it is hard to take something as ridiculous as a hoodie too seriously. Scenes like this put things firmly in perspective.
