We already made a superior hoodie out of Merino wool, but that stuff is expensive. For the plebs is available this cheaper option which retains the superb cut and features and while not as fancy as the woollen one, still works like that to a degree - at less than half the price! If you just need a damn well designed hoodie for casual use, this is the ticket.
Form and cut
Slim fit, with long hem. Quality zipper on the front, with a flap on the backside to prevent it from making contact with the skin if you're not wearing anything under this. The collar is so high when zipped up that you really don't need a scarf of neck tube or whatever. The hood has drawcord tightening and is suitably roomy, but not overly so - it works as an underlayer when worn with a helmet during cold weather. Thumbholes on the sleeve cuffs, of course. Reinforced against wear, and can be rolled up if not needed.
Pockets
Sort of five pockets, all are roomy. Two hand warmer pockets (volume about one wine bottle each) and a kangaroo pocket on the back, which can be accessed from either side, good place for storing gloves, hats and other accessories. On the left sleeve you'll find a zippered pocket, roomy enough for any smart phone (Iphone 6 Plus, Oneplus One tai Samsung Note 2/3/4 etc.). Hell, you could probably fit a standard set of groceries in the pockets. The pocket lining is cotton fabric.
As is customary these days, the sleeve pocket is covered with velcro. This means you can slap on a patch of your choice (smart people put a reflector tab on it!).
The fabric
330 g/m2 blend: 42% cotton, 27% viscose, 26% polyester, 5% elastane. The percentage of elastane makes the fabric - you guessed it - just a tad elastic, allowing for free movement.
This blend still retains some of wool's nice features, like transferring moisture away from the skin, not being super nasty when wet and drying surprisingly quickly. All in all it's quite suitable for common use and still better than a full cotton fabric usually found on hoodies. Moreover, the inside face is terry style, i.e. very comfy.
Wash in 40 degrees Celsius. Hang dry.
Size info
Sizes in the dropdown box according to recommended user's height and chest circumference in centimetres. However the material is very forgiving - this should fit taller people too. If unsure, you can always pick a size larger for longer sleeves, at the cost of form fit of course. If you are a girl, we recommend taking the chest measurement below the boobs. Normal size women usually are well off with size X-Small.
Just in case we have provided the actual measurements of the garments for each size, see the chart below. Please bear in mind that the fabric still is very forgiving despite the given measurements!
| Size | Chest circumference | Sleeve length | Back length (from the base of the hood) | Front length (from the base of the hood) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X-Small Regular | 89 | 70 | 72 | 60 |
| Small Regular | 97 | 71 | 73 | 61 |
| Medium Regular | 105 | 72 | 74 | 62 |
| Large Regular | 113 | 73 | 75 | 63 |
| X-Large Regular | 121 | 74 | 76 | 64 |
| 2X-Large Regular | 131 | 75 | 77 | 65 |
| 3X-Large Regular | 143 | 76 | 78 | 66 |
| Medium Long | 105 | 76 | 78 | 66 |

Employee's comments
I don't really care about hoodies for some strange personal reasons. Once upon a time our company sent a delegation to Germany and I was a part of it. Dress code demanded the fabled Merino hoodie for our people, so naturally I tried to save a buck for the company and secretly picked the viscose hoodie, even a "B quality" one.
Now I'll set my cold hatred for these things aside for the moment and look at the garment as what it is. Well, it's a very practical piece of clothing. You got a load of good, closed pockets and the cut is nice. Didn't use the hood though, it makes you look like a junkie, but in an emergency it could have its uses. Viscose is actually completely adequate material for basic bumming around business and you tend to watch after it less than the expensive Merino wool too. If you like hoodies, I would recommend this, it's way better than the regular department store offerings and works nicely as an extra layer too if the weather gets chilly, keep it in your pack or something.
And the "B quality" is really a pretty strong word here, because in reality these are just fine. Save ten bucks, get one of these!

Omaan mieleen huppu on hieman liian pieni, tosin Nazgûl-tyylinen ratkaisu ei kaikkia viehätä

CancelPari kehuvaa sanaa kerroin perheelle tästä ja nyt meillä kaikilla on tämmöset.
Ja koska aina pitää olla vähän negatiivinen niin sanotaan että nauhat ovat ehkä vähän liian pitkät omaan makuun. Vähän solmin piuhoja uudelleen jolla tuli jopa ehkä vähän siistimmän näkönenkin!

CancelDammit, I thought it would make me look like the guy in the photo. It doesn't.
Great item of clothing though, not too hot, not too cold, and you can indeed fit many bottles in the pockets.

CancelMukava päällä ja siistin näköinen, hihoissa olevat peukalonreijät on parasta, miksi näitä ei ole joka vaatteessa?
Hihassa olevan taskun vetoketju on ihan paska, tästä kun vetää auki niin hiha tulee mukana ja ketju pysyy tiukasti kiinni. Oma käyttöarvonsa varmaan löytyy ja ehkä käytössä herkistyy. Galaxy S8 mahtuu taskuun hyvin.
Etuvetskarin vedin on jäykkä, jää tyhmästi törröttämään jos ei paina sitä alas. Kulunee sekin käytössä väljemmäksi.
Malli on todellakin slim fit, jos on yhtään kaljamahaa niin tämä vaate ei anna sitä anteeksi. Onpahan motivaatiota reenata kesää varten.
Kokoa isompana tällainen ohuesta kankaasta tehty huppari olisi varmaan tyhmän näköinen.
Kakkoslaatua tai ei, 40€ tuskin uutena parempaakaan saat. Hyvä ostos.

CancelKiitämme: pitkää selkäosaa, korkeaa kaulusta, kestävän oloista kangasta, toimivia peukalonreikiä, pitkiä hihoja, siistejä saumoja, vetoketjuun sotkeutumatonta tuuliläppää.
Moitimme: huonosti eteen ja ylös myötäävää leikkausta, hihojen kiristymistä olkavarsien ympärille toimistotyössä.
Nolla pistettä: tyydyttävä lämmönsäätely, pieni huppu, koko käden otteen vaativat taskujen vetoketjujen vetimet, vain mustana.
Suosittelen sellaiseen liikkumakäyttöön, jossa ei tarvitse nostella käsiä, en suosittele istumakäyttöön ja nosteluun.
