I wear hoodies in cool weather and hoodie t-shirts in warm weather...anything to help keep the sun off me regardless of the time of year and to stay warm in the winter.
I don't see it as a thug thing either, I own plenty of them although I will say I don't wear them much anymore. I prefer a button up shirt plus a Carhartt jacket over a hoodie these days, just fits my "look" better.I think its funny that so many of you see a hoodie as "thug" apparel. Its a standard item here. My grandma wears one. She is not "gangsta".
Its not the clothing choice that was suspicious, it was him covering his face.

I found it a bit strange that a young man was walking the lot of the local Walmart last night with a hoodie pulled up over his head in 90 degree weather..as a retired police officer, he became a immediate blip on my personal radar ..on another level the term hoodie started as a gang term and I find it offensive that the NRA and other pro-gun organizations use the criminal based term when selling their hooded sweatshirts.
I shop at pawn shops regularly, but I do know for a fact that those who pawn items usually aren't the higher class of folks out there.
LOL, we owned pawn shops for 25 years. I can tell you for a fact that many of those who pawn items are higher quality people than many of the "higher class" folks out there.
Less fortunate people finance through pawn shops like wealthy (higher class) people do through banks. There is trash at all levels of society and good people at all levels. Class has nothing to do with the quality of the person.

We don't do ourselves a great service by disparaging others who are closer to our social station than those to whom we unfairly compare them.
And you're telling me it's my problem for looking down on them????????????
Around here the young 'uns wear wool watch caps all summer. All. Freaking. Summer. There's a guy that I work with that wears one on the line in the kitchen where it's 100 F plus all the time.
What keeps you warm in winter keeps you cool in summer - the insulation properties work both ways. A friend of mine used to pick cotton when he was a youngster. To this day he will wear an insulated vest when shooting out here in the hot FL sun.
The human body is (on average) 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Unless the outside temperature is in excess of that you don't WANT insulation - you're not trying to keep heat out - you need to be able to dissipate your own body heat.
That's why you sweat when you're hot - liquid is a good CONDUCTOR of heat, and conduction, not insulation, is what you need when you're hot.
