Men's Hoodies

The hood does the defining: how deep it sits, whether it is lined or double-layered, and whether it closes with a drawcord, a flat tape or nothing at all. Pullovers keep the front unbroken and put a kangaroo pocket across the middle, full-zip styles split the hood and let it fold flat behind the neck, and half-zips meet somewhere between. Cut moves independently, from a trim body with set-in sleeves to a boxy oversized block with dropped shoulders.

Weight is the next decision. Lightweight loopback French terry sits near 250 to 300 gsm and layers under a jacket, midweight fleece lands around 350 to 400, and heavyweight brushed fleece past 400 gsm holds its own shape and softens slowly. Ribbed cuffs and hems anchor the shape, while raglan sleeves open the shoulder and set-in sleeves hold it square.
