Okay NS,

Given the option to add whatever you want to a hoodie (jacket or pullover, your choice) outside of design, what would it be? Examples are like variations of pockets, waterproofing, materials, length, zippers, hood design or anything else your mind can think of.

Good suggestions = +k

if you're going to do gloves, make them zipper on. and do the mitten / fingerless glove things

dont do the gloves thing. it just makes them messy and too complicated. keep it simple and good quality

taped seams, but throw a simple design or interesting color onto the tape, the only companies i've see really take advantage of this surface are KAWS and Visvim and im not about to pay 250$ for a hoodie.

also, cinches at the bottom would be cool, esp with leather pull strings, maybe with some beads on the end or something.

waterproof, fleece inside, zippered, big hood that fits over helmet, thumb holes in the sleeve/tight cuff for fitting under gloves, nice bright colors, zippered pockets maybe an inside pocket with a hole for earbuds. a small pocket on the upper chest like just on one side would be pretty sweet to hold joints but thats a pretty niche market so its not essential haha

So, this is the compiled list of idea that I have gotten thus far:
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial; min-height: 12.0px}p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial}span.s1 {letter-spacing: 0.0px}


-zipped and pullover model of each design

-zipped pockets

-hood big enough to fit helmet

-water resistant

-warm

-soft

-tall but slim

-inside pockets

-magnet on hood to hold in place

-zip strap (use while gloves are on)

-iPod/media pocket

-no strings built in, but will be included for the few that like them

-thumb holes


Now, not all things will be included, but all are possible considerations.


Any other suggestions?

snack or stash? Because you can put snacks in any zipped pocket.

Without the customer, a business is nothing. Best way to keep a customer -- make the product tailored to their desires.

Always a business philosophy of mine.

Followup question: how much would you guys pay for a hoodie with the features (some but not all) listed above? Bear in mind: the design will be dope.

i love oversized hoodies with small hoods, pull-over style. something dark in color, thin material that has some breathe to it, and just a simple small logo on the front. something that you could go for a run in. so comfy..

a little but wider at the neck, saga does this and i like it, along with thick hood strings.  you could make the hood 2 different sizes by adding 2 buttons at the top.  so if you dont want a huge hood you can shorten it.
