Following the super dry thread. I love my dds super dry hoodie, but I wouldn't be mean and go out and get one.

Where can I get a hoodie that is lovely and thick and warm but doesn't have a brand imprinted on it?.

Are you sure ds would object? Ds and I both wear SD hoodies. He has no objection to this and thinks it's quite cool as he often nicks my yellow one

She would def object, she mostly doesnt care about clothes but her hoodie is a prized possesion.

They look nice 12legged!! Exactly what I'm looking for, even if they are pricey. Wish they had a shop so I could try some on. What is the sizing like?

Mantaray at Debenhams always have a few hoodies and sone are fleece lined. I know Mantaray is often sneered at on here

Animal are cosy, but they are usually obviously branded. However, there are lots on 35/45y school gate mums here.

Sorry, not sure. I think we have some ancient men's t-shirts here but I've only ever coveted the stuff, not bought Grin

I dont mind being sneered at oldraver, as long as my hoodie is cosy and thick and keeps me warm Grin

Gap have 30% off today. You can get hoodies without the logo plastered across the front.

That would be ideal! Sadly I can't get to one until tomorrow. I quite like Gap.

Oh I would be banned from this kind of embarrassing behaviour as well.
Hollister do a lovely pair of dark skinny jeans surprisingly, only £40, and that didn't seem like a bad price for jeans but I was not allowed to buy them.

I would like a nice maroon hoodie as I think it's my colour (Autumn) but I wouldn't like it too baggy. Don't want a logo either.

I have a bright red pair of Hollister jeans which I love, but they have button flys which are a pita. My friends dd helpfully pointed out they were not suitable for my elderly fingers Hmm I lent them to her and her mum found her screaming in rage at the last two buttons that despite repeated washing are stiff as fuck Grin

I have a red hoody from Mantaray. No one has ever sneered at me, (to my face anyway). I am rather fond of it actually.

I have a few of these and they are thick and warm. look great too. They're at great sale prices ATM. The kittiwake ones are my favourite, have the pink one on right now and going to pop into store later and get the navy one!

I wouldn't have thought of mountain warehouse. I can get to one of those. I did tragically look in millets. Then I walked out again.

Like the look of the mountain warehouse pinnacle one. Nice sale price! Quite like the button detail on that Roxy one too.

I've got one I ordered from ASOS about five years ago and it has lasted so well - I don't think it is a branded one. It is fleece lined and so warm and comfortable.

I generally wear it over gym gear but also sometimes with skinnies and converse - I think it looks fine :)
