I got the sweatshirt and I really like it. I'm wearing it today. I guess it is okay to have one hoodie in my collection. The problem is that with our weather, this time of year I usually wear a coat which I wouldn't want to put on over a hoodie. We don't have much in between weather, which is when this sweatshirt can be used.I think you are being a little influenced as I didn’t even really like the sweatshirt but then when everyone talked about them I started looking at them. Lol. But like you, hoodies drive me nuts. It is too much fabric near my neck with the hood for me.
