Let me know your favorite hoodie regardless of if it was in the video or not. Also, feel free to drop some video ideas! Thanks for the support 🙏🏽

[@bodhemon]

Believe it or not, my favorite hoodie is the Land's End Serious Sweats full zip hoodie. It screams "classic".

[@johansoderholm8231]

My go to hoodie is one from Paul Smith. Its a pretty dense One, so its for colder days, but im from Sweden, so we have lots of em here 😉

[@rangerscoach]

not my favourite because i dont have one yet. but the best cost no object hoodie ive seen from an objective standpoint is from Boncoura a Japanese clothing company. they have the best pocket t as well. ive got the pocket t and at 9oz its the best and the fitting is based on old kimono fittings for a cool twist.

[@mchi6621]

Hey, quick tip on clothes in general, you can't really tell true quality until you wash the clothes. A lot of these may change in fit, soften/roughen, or even pill hard as you wash them. Brands have also shifted to providing multiple fits (such as relaxed or fitted) and multiple thicknesses (heavyweight, midweight, light, etc)

[@asim]

Yeah agreed. I’ll have to do a follow up after a year or two of wear

[@susanisrael9779]

[@brianh4625]

AG no longer replaces their garments when they fall apart and after a couple years, the cuff on my classic began to split. The more expensive storm hoodie has a plastic zipper and is lighter in weight than the classic. Not sure where the extra $$ is in the storm hoodie. Prefer the classic except for the poor sleeve cuff quality. Also have a mid weight RC hoodie and love it.

Honestly, this means a ton. They take super long to produce but it’s for sure worth it. Hoping to venture into videos aside from this series as well!

[@weastkorea]

Discovered your stuff today and really liking it! Have you considered putting up some text visuals (lists or pros/cons charts) for the end-of-video summaries? It can really make the overall video and talking points more memorable, at least in my opinion.

[@asim]

Yeah definitely want to implement that for the next one as well as a Doug DeMuro style spread sheet/rank system

[@lukemartin981]

Thank you for posting these videos, they’re a great insight into men’s clothing. I recently brought a Reigning Champ hoodie which I’m very impressed with the quality of this garment. Lovely attention to detail and sturdiness. I also tried on a Saint Laurent Rive Gauche hoodie expecting that ‘wow’ factor but was left a little disappointed! There’s only so far you can go with a hoodie, it’s a basic essential. I don’t think the Saint Laurent hoodie offers good value for money, being heavily weighted by a designer label.

[@asim]

Glad to hear you share the same thoughts! Thanks for the insight Luke!

[@xxflamezxx1able]

Great video, I also own the AG and RC ones and I also tend to gravitate towards the AG one. For a round two I would love to see Aime Leon Dore hoodie since its 185 and 21 oz made in Canada, so overall seems like a decent price for a premium hoodie.

[@asim]

Love ALD need to snag some pieces from that at some point

[@abcthecamper1799]

Very interesting! thank you very much! Im a sucker for higher end items so saint laurent is my fav out of evrything you showed, while asket is second (just becuase I love the brand so much!). Was very suprised by white lady co becuase it looked great on you. If you're looking for more categories I would recommend chinos since there are so many great options ( everlane for budget and asket / norse projects for crazy quality). Btw, love the new iphone case!

[@asim]

Saint Laurent was great but for most people the Asket will be more than enough at a much lower price. That being said, my Saint Laurent one isn’t going anywhere haha

[@rmccorma]

my fav of all time was a lighter weight reversible hoodie from Vince, sadly I wore it so much over a 5 year period it started to fall apart but they make pretty nice hoodies that aren't hard to get on sale. Clothing sales not doing so hot these days. James Perse is also nice but their stuff wears insanely quick.

[@cuillinchastain-howley9373]

Great vid yet again! LWC hoodie is going to be one of my next purchases. Would love for you to take a look at Yeezy and Cole Buxton hoodies if you make a part 2.

[@asim]

I think both of those would be super similar to the LWC one from what I've read on them. I really want to get my hands on them

[@fabiangomezgonzalez4912]

For that super thick material with the cropped look, Los Angeles apparel, formally American apparel has banger hoodies.

[@asim]

I really appreciate that you are conscious of sustainability. I've been trying to buy clothes more responsibly. Thank you for taking this into consideration. I'd love to see a video for best sustainable company overall. So many of the companies that make clothes that are eco friendly look like they are making clothes for cult members. I do not want to go live on a commune, I just want clothes that don't involve slave labor or the destruction of the environment.

[@asim]

Sustainability is huge, not to generalize but for the most part as long as they aren’t fast fashion place, you’re normally okay

[@czlowiek_w_spoleczenstwie]

@@asim You're absolutely wrong about this. A lot of luxury brands source their materials from forced labour and share little to no information about their sustainability practices. You should always do a quick search for info on that matter after having decided to buy something from a brand you're not sure about. It doesn't cost you much time, but sure is worth it!

[@asim]

Yeah I wasn’t trying to generalize with that statement. I always try to do my due diligence and run searches but when information isn’t readily available there’s not much you can do.

Great review man! Are those joggers Lululemon abc joggers?

[@asim]

Correct!

[@robd7934]

American Giant makes a fantastic hoody. Pricey but very good construction, heavy and warm. Nothing feels cheap about their hoodys. I also have a Champion hoody and that thing is trash compared to the AG. Champion is 50% cotton and 50% poly with a ton of pilling. It’s too loose and baggy but I keep it as a beater hoody for gym workouts.

[@asim]

Agreed, thanks for your insights

[@iamblacktalon]

Not sure if you mentioned the material you preferred, I might have missed it. But my go to is Luca Faloni cashmere hoodie. Great fit, great cashmere (same mill as Brunello Cucinelli).

[@asim]

These were all cotton based for the most part. Really want to get my hands on some cashmere ones one of these days

[@andrew2272kag]

I want to like American Giant (ordered a jacket from them), but the fit is sloppy and that hood is cartoonish. The Asket looks sharp, yet with only 4 colors that eliminates them. O My go to is Cuts. They have some incredible colors. The only problem is that that they are always cycling in new Colors and some seasons have nothing for me. They are my go to company for hoodies, henleys, t-shirt hoodies. Again, just hit and miss depending on the season.

[@asim]

Luckily Askets colors cover 90% of your bases. Cuts was slightly tight in the mid section when I bought a tee from them a year or two ago but I need to check out the rest of the lineup one of these days.

[@jeremyrice3719]

@@asim those 3 Asket colors certainly don’t meet my color needs. (I don’t count the mud green because it’s atrocious).
