I know this brand isn't known for it's quality or originality in some circles, but I have a Heliot Emil hoodie that feels super premium and has some really nice details. I got it second-hand, so although it probably doesn't feel as good quality-wise as some other hoodies in its retail price range, the money I paid for it has definitely been worth it.
I love the 600GSM hoodie from Velour Garments. Great hoodies for a quite good price i would say. They also have 1000GSM and 450GSM hoodies but i have never tried them.
Yeezy season 6 pullover hoodies are quite easily the best essential hoodies I’ve ever owned, the cut and material is perfect, and the fleece is super puffy and high quality. Every hoodie I’ve seen in response to your comment just doesn’t compare, Yeezy is known for having the best quality hoodies.
Definitely feel the comment you made on "wouldn't wear this hoodie outside". I have so many of my older hoodies that I feel are kind of a waste to throw out, seeing as they're still wearable, but at the same time I don't feel as good as I normally would when wearing them outside or even inside the house. Might have to tell myself to actually throw some stuff that I don't like out soon, cause even though they're wearable, they're not getting worn and they're just taking up wardrobe space.
Nice video as usual! I do have a few insights to add! 1. Higher GSM (300+) is generally good, however material also influences how the hoodie holds its shape. Cotton-poly blends tend to have a better shape than 100% cotton, at a similar GSM 2. Fleece lined hoodie will typically have a better shape than french terry lined hoodie. 3. A double lined hood will also have a more pleasant shape and feel cozier Some hoodies I like are the Seventh Stores, Yeezy Gap, Velour garments (600 or 1000 gsm) or even the very affordable gildan 12500
Awesome guide, I do love hoodies, especially when they are more in the minimal side, haven’t found my perfect one yet but the vid helps to nail it down step by step. Happy Sunday mate 😊🙏🏻
I love my American Giant hoodie. This was a great guide, and I instantly felt cooler knowing I’m in company with you for removing the strings if I don’t like them or they look cheap.
I got the Asket and I agree with everything you mentioned. Will help out a lot in the future. One of my favorites is a cheap blank staples from H&M. Would be interesting to see a similar video on zip hoodies. Thanks for the great content!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but tbh this was some REALLY good advice, could definitely use this with other staple wardrobe pieces as well. thanks for this, great video as always
The black Nike tech tech fleece light weight. I love Nikes build of the hood to avoid the gnome peak. I prefer zip up than pull over. Nike makes talls easily accessible for someone 6’4”. No drawstring. Cone neck when zipped up. The material doesn’t pill.
A thing I like doing to my hoodies is taking the strings out which honestly makes for a cleaner look sometimes (is not the best look always) and I also like when a hoodie fits a bit more on the baggy side instead of hunting for perfection on the proportions
My favorite hoodie is a men’s Carhartt loose fit, mid weight hoodie in a size LG, in the color black. I own 2 of these. This has been my favorite for years
Omg a kindred soul! I thought I was the weird one because all these things you mentioned were bugging me too. If I might add another one, I like my hoodies plain. Excessive branding is a no-no.
Great points/tips! I would also add zipped hoodies to the list. I, personally, only wear zipped. The zip adds visual interest and prevents you from destroying your hair as you take it on and off lol (I rarely actually use the hood, I just like a firm and well shaped hood for the look) And of course, you can unzip it when the temperature is just a little too high to leave it closed, or you want to display a nice top underneath. Top stuff, Harry!
I LOVE hoodies so much, I have a need to avoid the hoodie section of my local consignment shop 🤦🏻♂️ lol Regarding drawstrings, I’m always conscious of my neckline, so 90% of the time, I’m tying it up unless it’s raining like it is right now.
I think the biggest problem most people have when buying hoodies is that they tend to pick one size too big. It think it often ends up looking sloppy and like it was a hand me down. Like you mentioned about oversized fit vs actually oversized.
Im super picky with hoodies and this video helped me realise why! Sometimes a hoodie will be perfect but way to short/tight of a hem, sometimes the weight/fit of the body is great but goes down to my knees
I guess i've always cheaped out on my hoodie purchases. Tbh, the two i reach for most are a plain black H&M heavier weight one which has some structure to the hood, and a teal/blue micro diamond stitch hoodie from Next. Both affordable and nice fits for me. Gotta agree on getting the heaviest weight you can, as otherwise they just tend to look a bit sloppy structure wise
I removed the drawstring from my Uniqlo hoody recently. I'd seen few designs without any drawstrings or holes the last couple seasons and liked that simplicity so I was going for that.
I look aweful in anything. A big hoodie that hides me is the best one. 😂 I don't like drawstrings. I have a bunch of hoodies that came without them and they are so much better. 2 of them have a small string that attaches to the sides of the hood, so no strings hanging out but the option to make it smaller. A lot of children hoodies have this for safety but a few adult hoodies have it too. I happen to remove the strings often.
Great timing, am actually looking for a new hoodie now. I prefer a boxy, heavyweight fit too, slightly cropped, but unlike you I hate a structured hood! Tried one on in Arket yesterday, 50% off, great weight and fit but the hood just didn’t work for me.
personally, i think the ACG hoodies are perfect. The fleece ones are my personal favorites, great cut, great weight, great material, and i think they do drawstrings the best with short elastic loops. the only down side is the labeling all over it, but its small enough to not be distracting
Only fashion youtuber i actually am subscribed to since he doesn't tell you to wear garbage bags that are 10 times larger than you and calls it "fashionable" 🤦, but instead gives reasonable advice that a normal person could incorporate whilst encouraging creativity and not being strict with it
My favorite hoodie is from Traditional Weatherwear. It’s a heavyweight, cropped, boxy-fit hoodie and finished with what they call “degrease” treatment, which makes the fabric really dry and rough to the touch. But because of it the hood keeps its shape and able to stand up, which gives a very clean look. It’s a really unique piece.
In case someone is curious, it’s called ‘CUT-OFF PARKA’ and traditional weatherwear is a sub label of Mackintosh and only available in Japan (I think?)
I only wear slim cashmere hoodies which are much more streamlined and elegant...along with a suede gilet or unlined blazer you will have a much more clean and discerning look
I recently picked up a bunch of Camber USA hoodies in the Hip sales in Grey, Black and Navy. They’re are one of the best hoodies I’ve ever owned and nice and boxy. Though better for the colder months as they’re very heavy weight. I used to be a Champion Reverse Weave guy and still like them and their contrasting drawstrings, but Camber are the new guys in town. I keep on eyeing up the Power House hoodie in the Blacksmith but I’m yet to drop the cash.
Favourite hoodie: Grey hoodie from Studio Dejore. Actually found out about it thanks to one of your video! Great fit, great material and it absolutely stands the test of time. Worth the price
This made me go and check my fave hoodies, unfortunately they don't seem to specify the weight on the websites. Guess I'm going to have to go try lots on and try find what I need.
I already made a comment but have to do another one because of the rings you're wearing! Are they new? They look absolutely fantastic! Maybe you could do a video about rings (where to get them, how to wear them etc.)?! :) I guess that would be a great idea because most videos in this direction are about accessories in general but not about rings specifically.
Ok this is my hidden gem: Adidas Pharrel Hoodie. Its such a good quality, ive hade it for 4 years and the coulour and fit is still perfect. And, the hood i heavyweight without strings
I am fortunate to have two zip up cashmere hoodies from Brora , they cost a lot even in their sale. But they have lasted around 10 years and are still great looking; they also keep me warm in winter and cool in summer.
I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoy your videos. I love your voice and your humour and you present the information really well. Personally I only like zipped hoodies. I like the option of wearing it open. Primark plain black zipped hoody for me
Perfectest timing!! I am in the process of sorting out my hoodies and looking for new ones. Looking for long hoodies but still fitting to my slim figure. Any suggestions here?
I found a hyperloop hoodie and I was like hell yeah I didn't even look more into it but then driving home found your video my new hoodie is 100% cotton but has a jersey stitch which is the only thing I'm eh on
Thought I was the only one who had that problem w/ Colorful Standard given how people rave about them. The actual hood is huge and it's as if they used a watermelon to size the neck opening. I have a similar problem with their crewnecks. It's a shame because their quality is nice and they have a good selection of colors.
most of the time even the big companies don't list the Gsm of their hoodies, but i've gotten good at it, what feels good and is thick i usually get. I prefer french terry over fleece for all seasons. The most i dislike burshed fleece. But i have good quality normal fleece also.
I like the rarest type of hoodies: without drawstrings or eyelets and the hood’s edges cross each other on the front where they meet each other (can’t explain it better). Really not a lot of these out there :(
I bought a black and grey Uniqulo hoodie last year in Berlin and have since wear and wash them a lot and they're still looking great. Really love the fit and feel and would buy them again (got them for 40€ each)
Drop your favourite hoodie for us to check out 🤟

the oftt heavyweight hoodie is also a serious one

Haha cheers dude
Reason 5: I love supporting him no matter what his videos are about.
@@philiphanan1493 🙏
Same! 🤝
Your faces in the hood shots are hilarious! 😂
The juiciest "see ya latah" we ever had. Just keep making them more and more sauced with each vid
Love the fact that most of the hoodies were made in my country (Portugal), in a surprising way
Thought you might announce you were making a hoodie by the end of the video, I was excited!!
i really love the way you try to make the viewers see the different prespective so that they can do whats good for them. GREAT TALENT OF YOURS MATE!
Good to hear dude. I’m glad I get that across in my vids
You are one of the best creators on RUclips imo. Videos are legit and straight to the point while still being super enjoyable.
Really appreciate that. Thank you 🙏
I think this was your best video so far. Nicely informative and clean presentation.
Really appreciate that. Good to hear they are getting better

Yeah, I actually got that hoodie down from the attic for this video. Time to move it on
donate it :)
Donate them and get ones you actually feel good in. Don't keep them.
Nice video as usual! I do have a few insights to add!

I really like how you took the best parts of every hoodie to make a perfect hoodie. No other fashion creator is doing these extra steps.❤
Glad you like it dude
Somtimes it feels like hoodies just give that comfort and as like it’s like a “it’s okay. Everything’s fine” thing when I’m sad just the comfort.
Carhartt, been wearing them for years. They have heavy, medium and light hoodies!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but tbh this was some REALLY good advice, could definitely use this with other staple wardrobe pieces as well. thanks for this, great video as always
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Awesome breakdown. The first video that I've seen that really drills down on hoodies. Well done!
I think the Asket hoodie looks wayyyyyyy better on you than the other hoodies haha
Way more smarter than others;
That’s life for you. Everyone is different and prefers different things. A lot will agree with you and a lot won’t
The black Nike tech tech fleece light weight. I love Nikes build of the hood to avoid the gnome peak. I prefer zip up than pull over. Nike makes talls easily accessible for someone 6’4”. No drawstring. Cone neck when zipped up. The material doesn’t pill.
Your simple perfect fits are exactly what I’m trying to build. Also I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word hoodie so much in my life
Haha I noticed that when I was editing! At least it was a video on hoodies I suppose 😂
A thing I like doing to my hoodies is taking the strings out which honestly makes for a cleaner look sometimes (is not the best look always) and I also like when a hoodie fits a bit more on the baggy side instead of hunting for perfection on the proportions
Really good analysis here… I like all same things just a little less cropped
a zip up hoodie usually solves that issue of pullovers have for me. and zip ups are nice for when you get too hot as well which is nice
Just got a hoodie yesterday. And you uploaded this video today. Nice!!
My favorite hoodie is a men’s Carhartt loose fit, mid weight hoodie in a size LG, in the color black. I own 2 of these. This has been my favorite for years
Omg a kindred soul! I thought I was the weird one because all these things you mentioned were bugging me too. If I might add another one, I like my hoodies plain. Excessive branding is a no-no.
I like branding on some hoodies but agree with the excessive part

Top stuff, Harry!
Currently wearing a zip hoodie as I write this. I should have added them to the video but a lot of the same stuff applies to them I feel
Pullover over zipped all the way. Pullover can be worn under a jacket while zipped will look sloppy inside a jacket/blouson
I LOVE hoodies so much, I have a need to avoid the hoodie section of my local consignment shop 🤦🏻♂️ lol Regarding drawstrings, I’m always conscious of my neckline, so 90% of the time, I’m tying it up unless it’s raining like it is right now.
You read my mind apparently. I was thinking about that picante hoodie from previous videos but couldn't recall the brand. This was so timely.
I think the biggest problem most people have when buying hoodies is that they tend to pick one size too big. It think it often ends up looking sloppy and like it was a hand me down.
Like you mentioned about oversized fit vs actually oversized.
Im super picky with hoodies and this video helped me realise why! Sometimes a hoodie will be perfect but way to short/tight of a hem, sometimes the weight/fit of the body is great but goes down to my knees
I recently paid $11 for a size large Walmart pullover hoodie. It’s much too big. The medium is perfect. The zip up model in large fits great.
I guess i've always cheaped out on my hoodie purchases. Tbh, the two i reach for most are a plain black H&M heavier weight one which has some structure to the hood, and a teal/blue micro diamond stitch hoodie from Next. Both affordable and nice fits for me. Gotta agree on getting the heaviest weight you can, as otherwise they just tend to look a bit sloppy structure wise
Thanks for the video, Harry! I'm a woman but I enjoy learning about men's fashion too. I've learned so many good quality tips from you!
Great to hear. Thanks for watching
I removed the drawstring from my Uniqlo hoody recently. I'd seen few designs without any drawstrings or holes the last couple seasons and liked that simplicity so I was going for that.
Thanks Harry. Could you do a video on necklaces, types, stacks, etc? Just a request. Thank you 🙏

Glad you liked it dude

I haven’t heard of them. I’ll check it out
In case someone is curious, it’s called ‘CUT-OFF PARKA’ and traditional weatherwear is a sub label of Mackintosh and only available in Japan (I think?)
I know you don't like Zara and I don't either but the one I just picked up which was 32.99 is perfect. Heavy slightly cropped. Lush
I only wear slim cashmere hoodies which are much more streamlined and elegant...along with a suede gilet or unlined blazer you will have a much more clean and discerning look
As someone else has also mentioned, I'm here for reason 4: A banger video from Harry!
🙏🙏🙏
All my hoodies (and trust me, I have a lot of them, of any possible colour 😊)are slim fit, I love them like that
Great video! its definitely a great tutorial to check through when buying a hoodie!!
But 3:11 heeeeLLOOO what are these pleats?? Im in love!

It’s a great hoodie. Nathan did a good job on it

I was expecting to see a Represent hoodie or an about: blank hoodie. They are fantastic. Pricey but fantastic
I'd add a slightly dropped shoulder or raglan sleeve & a 3-pannel hood
🙃
I look “Bad” like Michael Jackson in my hoodie. 😂
I find hoodies are best for layering, for that reason lightweight is better. If you wear it on its own then heavyweight.
I already made a comment but have to do another one because of the rings you're wearing! Are they new? They look absolutely fantastic! Maybe you could do a video about rings (where to get them, how to wear them etc.)?! :) I guess that would be a great idea because most videos in this direction are about accessories in general but not about rings specifically.
Thank you. They are from Serge Denimes. I have some jewellery videos about the brand on the channel but haven’t done one in a while.
You would love an About Blank hoodie. Great oversized fit and I think 650 gsm
Ok this is my hidden gem: Adidas Pharrel Hoodie. Its such a good quality, ive hade it for 4 years and the coulour and fit is still perfect. And, the hood i heavyweight without strings
Nice! This sort of analysis could work for almost any kind of garment.
I am fortunate to have two zip up cashmere hoodies from Brora , they cost a lot even in their sale. But they have lasted around 10 years and are still great looking; they also keep me warm in winter and cool in summer.
Sounds good mate
The Yeezy gap hoodie for me was and is the prefect hoodie I have ever owned
Reason 4: I never miss one of your videos, king!
Legend. Appreciate your support bro 🙏
Reason 4 - I watch all your videos regardless of if it concerns me 😆
🙏
I like hoodies with full zips and two hand pockets. And for heavy weight Amazon Essentials has the best Sherpa lined heavy weight hoodie.
I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoy your videos. I love your voice and your humour and you present the information really well. Personally I only like zipped hoodies. I like the option of wearing it open. Primark plain black zipped hoody for me
Thank you bro. Appreciate it
Perfectest timing!! I am in the process of sorting out my hoodies and looking for new ones.
Looking for long hoodies but still fitting to my slim figure.
Any suggestions here?
You should try Lady white co, nice colours and shapes, definitely my go-to (and they share all the measurements)
Yes, they are a great brand.
John Elliot beach hoodies are great (I have 2) and their hooded villain for something a bit different Always black and grey obviously!
Reason 4 - always support you no metter the topic 💪
Appreciate it mate. Thank you
Banana Republic makes nice and a little different hoodies. I have two heavy ones and two fleece ones.
Harry great video as always. Where is the black jumper you're wearing from? Thank you!
Thank you. It’s from Ronning
In the U.S., most hoodies are listed oz/yd^2 which is 1 oz/yd^2 = 33.906 GSM, so a "12 øz Heavyweight" is 407 GSM.
Great video! If you pick 100% cotton and it fits you perfectly, are you concerned about it shrinking after you wash & dry it?
Thank you. No. The hoodies I go for are pre shrunk and have little to no shrinkage when I was them
I’ve really liked hoodies from Reigning Champ. I feel their quality is second to none!
I’ve heard good things
I don’t know if they still do but Reigning Champ used to supply blanks to Supreme.
I love your videos, they help me a lot to find the best version of my style 🫶🏼 greetings from Mexico 🤠
Glad you enjoy them bro 🙏
I found a hyperloop hoodie and I was like hell yeah I didn't even look more into it but then driving home found your video my new hoodie is 100% cotton but has a jersey stitch which is the only thing I'm eh on
This video has suited me like a glove.
thank you!
Hoodies are my favorite, Harry. Thanks for making a great vid about them!
Thanks for watching bro
i prefer zip up hoodies. more versatile on how you can wear them.
Thought I was the only one who had that problem w/ Colorful Standard given how people rave about them. The actual hood is huge and it's as if they used a watermelon to size the neck opening. I have a similar problem with their crewnecks. It's a shame because their quality is nice and they have a good selection of colors.
10 points on how you say hood ee. Great video
Loving your vids this new year, always been looking for the perfect hoodie :)
Glad you are enjoying them. They have been fun to make
most of the time even the big companies don't list the Gsm of their hoodies, but i've gotten good at it, what feels good and is thick i usually get. I prefer french terry over fleece for all seasons. The most i dislike burshed fleece. But i have good quality normal fleece also.
I like the rarest type of hoodies: without drawstrings or eyelets and the hood’s edges cross each other on the front where they meet each other (can’t explain it better). Really not a lot of these out there :(
I really thought you were gonna create your own hoodie and were gonna sell it on your store. Great video as always!
That would have taken a lot longer than a video haha. Thanks a lot mate
Super, super useful vid, Harry! Great job.
Pleased to hear dude
reason 4: I never miss ur videos so Im just here to see some good content
Appreciate the support dude 🙏🤟
You should add to your template: made in Portugal
In my hoodie experience, John Elliott makes the best ones. 😊
GANT hoodies are very well made, comfy, fit is bananasss
I like some Gant stuff. I’ll check their hoodie out
@@HarryHas Its the perfect fit for "shorter" gentlemen like me 5ft8 in size XS or S for more room
Best hoodies I have bought ever are from the brand Sweats Collective. Nice shape and very good durability. Love them.
I haven’t tried them. I’ll check them out
Great video! My favorite hoodie is the last one!
Thank you. The last one is lovely
I bought a black and grey Uniqulo hoodie last year in Berlin and have since wear and wash them a lot and they're still looking great. Really love the fit and feel and would buy them again (got them for 40€ each)
Uniqlo is great for the price for sure
Thanks for the video, now I know why I never wear a hoodie anymore!
Reason 4 - i just like your vids
🙏🙏🙏
picante one looks clean
The scared look with the hood up gives me Michael Jackson vibes lol
