The Chateau Roux team were kind enough to send over one of their fine hoodies to keep me warm during winter, and whilst it is a warm hoodie, I was still pretty chilly when I dashed outside into the -9C air to take these photos, but then again, I think it would be pretty chilly whatever I was wearing when it’s that cold.
The hoodie is a size XL; when I’m wearing an American Apparel XL hoodie it’s pretty baggy, but as you can probably tell from the photos, this hoodie is a bit of a slim fit on me. It’s pretty thick and I don’t think that it’s too tight (I actually think it’s quite slimming), but it’s definitely a fashion fit and should be purchased as such, so if you want to wear something that’s a little roomy then order a size up.
Every aspect of this hoodie screams quality, I’m very, very impressed with it. Chateau Roux aren’t a bargain-basement kind of a brand, yes, it is possible to get a cheaper hoodie elsewhere, but I doubt that you’ll be able to get a hoodie of similar quality without paying quite a lot more, and with this design being on sale at the moment it really is excellent value.

Tees from €5 with €3 flat fee shipping, not bad considering how expensive it must be for
Project A Apparel to live in Dublin.
It’s nice to see someone making a tee with a wolf on it in 2009 that doesn’t reference a ridiculous internet meme of wearing an ugly shirt and claiming that it’s cool just because other people on the internet said it was. I realise that me telling you tees are cool on a daily basis is very similar to that, except usually, the tees I write about actually are cool.

You guys are probably thinking, “hey, that’s a nice-looking lightweight jacket that
handsome Andy has found, especially with Summer quickly becoming a memory.” I however, am thinking, why is this named after Carlisle?
Carlisle is a town (possibly classed as a city) about an hour north of where I live that’s prett much on the Scottish border, and whilst there’s not a whole lot wrong with the place, there’s not a huge amount of awesome stuff either. I think the reason that I have a bit of a downer on Carlisle (the place, no the jacket), is that I have never been there and it be warm. I’m almost 25 and I probably go there 3 or 4 times a year, and I don’t remember it being warm on any occasion, there seems to be a constant cold wind running through the town at any given time. They do have a nice Italian restaurant though, so it’s not all bad.
