$89 hoodie?
Has anybody purchased one of these? That's a lot of money for a hoodie.
This hoodie is so insanely popular you have to wait months to get it - Business Insider

You'd think if it was that popular, they could have fixed the production problem by now. Besides its summer...who needs that now.

Matches your $50 T-shirt
Did I need green font for that?

Nah.. that's nothing...
The real deal is the one from Kanye West: I'm sure KW put as much effort in designing his sweatshirt.. ....Or just another of his famous designs: The "Original Donda Crewneck Sweatshirt": https://shop.kanyewest.com/ Only $140!! Probably all designs were approved by the missus K.

Obviously most posters here dress from Costco, and then cry Chinese products being inferior, but easily trip over a $89.00 hoodie.
I picture sandals, white socks and 2 dollar tees

I think if I lived in the city, and was fashion conscious, I would worry about buying expensive clothes like TABS wears, because EVIDENTLY, clothes make the man !
I live on a farm, have chickens, and horses (and all the related poop, feed, hay, etc) along with cutting/splitting/stacking/burning 6 cords of firewood a year. I work on cars, and equipment as needed, do extensive yard work on a 10 acre farm, and my daughter's 1 acre lot. There is no way in the world, I want a $90 hoodie that will be covered in grease, dirt, sawdust, and other substances within a week. I tend to buy alot of cheap clothes that I wear out/rip/stain, inside of a year. |

I had the opposite reaction though. Give them credit for making a solid product here. Seems spendy to me but I'm poor, shop at costco, and generally have no fashion sense. I bet its 4x better then the $20 walmart version. |

You know at one point it is self respect too. We are not discussing $10,000.00 sneakers here. $89.00 for a domestic made good quality hoodie is not expensive.

I'm trying to figure out why an $89 hoodie is a big deal. That's not expensive in the grand scheme of things in any way.
Here - Men's Sweatshirts | RalphLauren.com Most of the stuff starts at around $98 and goes up to $298, although they do have some as cheap as $79, 49 and I think I even saw a $39 in there.

I don't own a hoodie... or a sweatshirt...
Just my personal preference but if it is cold I will wear a jacket or fleece. The only reason I could see for a hoodie is for exerciser/working out... and I don't see why you need an expensive designer hoodie to get all sweaty when You can get one for half the price at a sporting goods store. And then there are the guys who drive with a hoodie... yeah, that makes sense.

Dressing up is preference. I do not see myself wearing fleece. I wear sweatshirts and hoodies all the time. When it is hot, tees. |

I think the deal is that some folks view a hoodie as being like a sweatshirt or like jacket, but these days, a hoodie is more often than not an article to complete a ensemble. I'm not a big hoodie wearer myself, I pretty much only wear it if it's cool outside.
You could almost think of a hoodie as being like a versatile blazer for millennials. You can wear it with jeans an a t-shirt or with a button up and a tie. (not that I do or would)  Or, wretch, under a blazer.
