See guys, I told you that I liked funnel hoodies!I’m not actually all that excited by the pattern on this piece, it kind of looks like you’ve already had it for years when you first get the parcel, and the way that they’ve tried to match up the two sides going across the zip is pretty lame, but for some reason I still like it overall. Possibly because if I were going to be a bandit, I probably would own an old hoodie, and I’d probably be too busy dealing with bandit related business to be concerned with the pattern not lining up across the zipper.

I know I’ve written about the Burton Sleeper hoodie in the past, but when I on my trips to-and-from Hong Kong last month (and yes, I will stop mentioning it all the time… soon) and realised that the Sleeper hoodie might have eased the unpleasantness of 11+ hours in economy class (even with a new spare seat next to me). The problem I had with the original version was that it had a big outline of a plane on it, which I thought would look kinda silly when you were actually on a plane. This version has a load of passport stamps on it, which I guess I have the same problem with as the plane, but at least you’d actually need to be a lot closer to it to realise what the pattern is of.

For those who are unaware, the sleeper hoodie is cool because of this:

No more crying babies, stiff neck, lost tickets, swampy arm pits or annoying fluorescent lights in your face. Inflate the integrated neck pillow in the hood, pull down the hood¿s light shield, crank up your new age mix or pop in your ear plugs, then pop some sleeping pills. Next stop nirvana. Travel as you know it will never be the same.

* 80% Cotton / 20% Polyester with all over tonal passport print. - Interior Jersey Lining
* Removable, Inflatable Neck Pillow
* Snap Out Light Shield
* Removable Eye Mask
* New! Travel Toothbrush Included
* Change and Key’s Pocket
* Zippered, Internal Passport and Ticket Pocket
* Sound Pocket with Headphone Cable - Hidden Stash Pocket with Ear Plugs
* Cuff Thumb Holes
* Pit Zips
* Custom Zipper Pull

Awesome, right?

I know that I’m 3 months too late, or about 9 months early, but when I look at this hoodie I’m immediately reminded of looking at Christmas lights strung around the tree. Obviously, that isn’t the look that Insight are going for, but with a fairly abstract design such as this, I don’t think that it really matters, what you think it represents that matters a lot more.Costiness=$60 Link (use rep code AS7594 for up to 20% off your order)

Okay, I know that this hoodie is ‘kinda’ expensive, but please consider that I’ve just got back from a city where it felt like there was a Chanel or Louis Vuitton store on every corner, and you can understand why I think this hoodie is pretty good value.

The colourway really appeals to me on this one, and the pattern is pretty cool too, I guess its one of those items that you’re either going to love or hate (guns are a turn off for a lot of people I’d guess), so there isn’t much point me babbling on about it.

I’ve mentioned CTRL a few times on the blog before, and whilst I don’t think that this is one of their strongest pieces, the patterns on the lettering are pretty cool, and this hoodie is currently (at time of writing) about $50 instead of $80, which certainly isn’t a saving to scoff at.

She is actually wearing her heart(s) on her sleeve(s), on her sleeve(s)!Joking aside it’s cool to see Red Canary breaking away from the norm and producing something out of the ordinary. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hoody which had nothing on the torso and printed sleeves, but then again I have only been blogging hoodies for two months. The hearts are pixelated too, so it’s a bit retro too, I guess it might make you feel as if your arms are 1UP icons from a NES game, and by hugging someone you give them more life? Did I work out the meaning Red Canary? Was I even close?

They also do a sumo version which is arguably more of a design triumph, but writing about hearts is so much easier.
