Black Friday Hoodies

We invented the hoodie in the 1930s and we still build it the same way. Get the fleece weight right and it holds its shape for years. The full run is down for Black Friday, which makes it worth buying two.

Black Friday hoodies: heavyweight fleece, zip and overhead

Weight is where it starts. A heavy fleece feels substantial the moment you pick it up and it stays that way, through a winter of wear and a season of washing. A lighter one is the better layering piece, because it sits under a jacket without bunching at the shoulder and it is what you will want in April when it is not properly cold yet. Neither is the right answer on its own.

After that it is the hood. An overhead is warmer at the neck and keeps its shape longer, which is why it tends to be the one living on the back of a chair. A zip suits days you are moving between temperatures. If you are mainly layering, Black Friday sweats and crews does the same job with nothing gathering at your collar, and Black Friday track pants is the bottom half of the same set.
