When somebody says “iconic American garment,” a number of things come to mind: the ten-gallon hat; the t-shirt emblazoned with the logo “Italians Do It Better;” and, of course, the hooded sweatshirt, otherwise known as the “hoodie.” Here are just a few great Americans who have worn hoodies: Now that things are getting a little chilly here in New York I figured it was high time I started shopping for a cycling hoodie to complement my cycling jeans. Here’s just some of what’s out there: Cadence Cadence Noir Black on black. Reflective detail on hood. Button base to block neck from elements.$59.99This is a well-though-out garment. The “button base” is a nice touch, and that “reflective detail on hood” is all about protection.

It also has the requisite artificially distressed abstract pattern that will look dated even before my lime green Deep Vs.

The adventure hoodie has 23 hidden features and is the perfect accessory for busy travellers A new multi-functional hoodie with 23 different features is currently being backed on Kickstarter and has proven to be popular with hardcore explorers looking to expand their wardrobes. The Adv3nture Hoodie was created by Zane Lamprey, a travel enthusiast who has hosted shows on National Geographic, Food Network and the Travel Channel. It features nine pockets of different shapes and sizes for easy use, as well as an over-sized hood that can be pulled over the eyes for napping, a sunglasses holder, an earbud loop, a pen pouch and a quick access ventilation zipper that can be pulled down without taking the hoodie off. The whole item even converts into a soft foldable pillow when needed. The hoodie evolved from a former project called the Drinking Jacket, a top that featured a beer bottle sized pocket, a bottle opening zipper and quick access gloves to keep the hands warm. The jacket was redesigned to become the Adv3nture Hoodie, with the original features being kept while further ones were added to make it more suitable for the outdoors.
