In Alaska, wearing a hoodie is almost a sartorial requirement -- for EVERYONE -- especially in the summer when a jacket is too heavy and shirt sleeves aren't quite warm enough. And then in the winter, we wear them as part of our "layering." There's nothing better.

I just don't understand all this fear of the hoodie.
