11 Masked Hoodies to Hide Your Face
Yesterday, the sight of a mother leading her young kid by the hand on Lafayette Street while he stumbled along blindly in a zipped up Bape hoodie, reminded us how popular masked hooded sweatshirts are right now. So we pulled together 11 stylish designs to hide your identity and have you thrown out of public places across the UK. This is the perfect guide to find a gift for your favorite vandal/ugly friend, or to rip off a design for Urban Outfitters.
1. Probably tired of stretching out t-shirts over their face, Vexed created the Ninjahood and instantly rendered all ski mask, scarf and bandanna technology obsolete.
2. French design team, Anticon, has been dedicated to working on the same exact design since Fall 2005.
3. Puma, never one to miss a good trend, collaborated with Vexed, the creators of the Ninjahood, to make a cyclist specific hoodie. Removable air filters, reflective piping, and completing the package: crotch straps to keep your backside dry.
4. Good old black, brown, navy and gray never hurt anybody. ONETrueSaxon keeps it simple.
5. Sure, you could tie a bandana around your face, but it’s not going to keep it warm like riding around town in Fortynine Sixteens’s Outlaw hoodie. Plus, the jersey style pockets in back hold all sorts of illicit crap whether you’re on or off the bike.

6. LRG’s Dead Serious Hoody has been hyped ever since Kanye West wore it to hide his embarrassment from Paul McCartney. Why? He still didn’t listen to his album.
7. Yeah, Kanye wears Bape too.
Images from The Brooklyn Circus.
8. Product’s “Japan Monster” hoodie was apparently the first full zip sweatshirt with mask so take that, Nigo.
9. SCUM put out their own lucha libre style hoodie because Mexican wrestlers can’t wear spandex all the time.
10. FIFTY24SF sewed a ski mask into a nice sweatshirt by Jeremy Fish.

11. Since the matching SARS mask is separate, we probably shouldn’t have included the Candyman and Stormshadow hoodies by Triumvir. But then we couldn’t have shared this image of Scorpion and Sub-Zero rocking out in their candy covered clothes.

By California girl on January 30th, 2008 at 8:29 pmthey aren’t that cool….you can buy stuff that looks like that anywhere…why spend $500, on one whne they r going 2 go out of style in a couple of months
i would rather spend my money on a couple of true religion jeans…at least they actually have sum style and people won’t laugh at you when you are seen in public !!!!!
i think black people should learn how to talk
By NGr on September 11th, 2008 at 11:42 pmThese hoodies a pretty cool, but they are over-rated. I just don`t understand why all`yall on-line wanna-be gangsta`s get so up tight if someone thinks these hoodies suck. Just leave tha “G” thang to tha real, and let others speak their mind. Damn idiots !!!!!
