Back in the days it was sabre tooth tigers and wooly mammoths who were rocking the best fur - until man invented sewing and pinched it for his own wardrobe. Back before you could be "street"(there were no streets you see) prehistoric men would impress the ladies with their hoods of fur - if that didn't work they could always club the cave-ladies over the head and drag them back to the cave by their hair for some bump and grind.
These days clubbing people over the head, and wearing tiger fur is a bit frowned upon. Thank god for nylon...

From hearing people going on about hoodies these days, you would think only criminals and thugs wear them, BUT I KNOW BETTER! Back in the day the holiest on holy men wore them: Monks!
Now if wearing hoodies is good enough for the Almighty above, I am sure they are good enough to be worn in a shopping centre in Kent!

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen! Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men!
Okay okay, rhymes in the Robin Hood song are lame, but his cutfit certainly wasn't. Robin Hood was probably the first person who wore a hood to keep his face hidden. But robbing from the rich and giving to the poor is not something we reccomend these days, as the poor have job seekers allowance and theres not many town councillors who live in castles. But we'll let him off this time, as he wore a hoodie!

These days if Red Riding Hood turned up and grandma's house and there was a wolf dressed up in her bed, the girl would whip out the pepper spray and use it on the wolf until he passes out. Then the wolf would take out a personal injury claim against Little Red Riding Hood and sue her for millions of ringgit =)
In the old skool version however, the wood cutter turns up and shops up the Wolf in true gory fairytale style. I have to say I prefer this version. Oh I forgot to mention Little Red Riding hood looks pretty damn good in that outfit.

Anorak's (big sweaters with fur on the border of the hoodie) are the 1970's brother of the hoodie. Today you can still see them being worn by trainspotters, trendy geeks wh are trying to look "retro" and of you're lucky... that weird man in the park who doesn't seem to be wearing anything else underneath!! 0.0
The best place to pick one up is probably a local charity shop. And did I mention they come in wonderful colours of blue and orange. Well, at least the keep the rain off.

And now we arrive at the modern day. Despite the hoodie having been around since the beggining of time,(well, almost), we now have certain countries that are calling for it to be banned!
I want to show people that the hoodie can be worn with pride, by regular decent people! Don't let the thugs and criminals out there spoil the reputation of a decent bit of clothing!
