Tis the season for your wife or girlfriend to steal one of the most values things a man can own – a good hoodie. My wife is a major hoodie theif. She wears just about any hoodie I have lying around. It doesn’t bug me too much, but I had no clue as to why she’d rifle through my closet for a hoodie. Until today.
During today’s thievery, I posted a quick rant to Twitter and got some pretty good insights as to why women love our hoodies:
#1 reason: they’re big enough so they don’t have to wear a bra.
#2, bigger hood provides fast hairdo coverage to avoid judgment when running into your CEO at the gas station.
#3, Because they’re warm, soft, and smell like you. It’s like wearing a hug from you all the time. With a hood.
#4, BIG pockets~for phone, lipstick, ipod, biz cards, xanax, car keys, Flip Cam, ‘germ-X’, travel pk tissues, driver’s license+. When you pack lots into a pocket…it binds together, creating a snug lump of necessities. Object removal is another matter, according to sources — Problem: when removing a single item from cached pocket…two hands are necessary, facilitating an awkward Pilates type movement.
So there you have it. Why women steal men’s hoodies. Guys, you have been educated. Women, we are on to your game.
To other women out there. Why do you steal your man’s hoodie?
Bravo~! (from @EurekaJanet~!)
I steal my son's hoodie, because it has the Osiris symbol on it (a skateboarding apparel company), because I like it. Additionally, cool factor = high. Or so I hear. I don't want to be one of those moms wearing mom jeans with Keds, but then again, I don't want to be seeing as TRYING to be cool. Really, my fashion sense is dictated by what is comfortable, with a bit of the unconventional thrown in for good measure, so his hoodie fits the bill!
This totally explains why my Quiksilver and Pittsburgh Penguins hoodies wind up in the laundry without me ever having worn them. The explanation I get is normally “it's just warmer than any of mine.”
I hear ya John. I have a handful of rock solid hoodies that has taken me some time to break in. Once I get them to the comfy stage, they seem to miraculously vanish from my closet. Thieves.
