ive got quite a few hoodies, and the hood is only ever up when its raining or cold, or when im walking through a rough area late at night

me too, not because I'm up to no good, just because they are warm and nice...

Being old I can see where Singist is coming from.
I was at Trentham Gardens on tuesday and it was about 32 degrees and three lads with their hoods up came walking past
On wednesday I went up town and again it was smoldering but still young lads had got their hoods up.

The thing to do is take advantage of their lack of peripheral vision by tripping them up once you are level with them.

I have hoodies, but I won't wear the hood up unless it's cold, or if I have a scarf + sunglasses and want to do my "manga baddie" impression.

Thanks to those who took the trouble to put together an articulate, reasoned point of view.

I tried to but everyone ignored my posts and only replied to the guy being insulting.

I think hoodies should just be issued to everyone in a 1940's gas mask stylee....

That way, as everyone will wear them (lets make it so you HAVE to wear the hoody on a Monday, for example) no one can be pigeon holed as a thug.

/edit: We can call it "Hoody Monday".

Im 33 and have quite a few timberland hoodies that i picked up from Canada/America. I quite like them tbh especially in the winter time, nice and warm. Cant say ive had anyone accuse me of being a thug tbh...so dunno where people get this idea that hoodies + people automatically become thugs or morons

.

I love my hoodies i do

Hoodies are warm and keep your head reasonably dry when it's raining.

Can I get a "Duh".

It's a bit unfair to assume everyone wearing a hoodie is a thug of some kind. Same as it's unfair to assume everyone with particularly short hair (me again) is a thug of some kind.

And it's unfair to think that if someone wears tracksuit bottoms outside that they are a chav.

lol love the classic shot baldy, how many years ago was that taken?!

Yea, all the time. Then I cruise off in my ghetto-car pumping out the gangsta-rap
