Best Hoodie
Winner: Sueded Fleece Pullover Hoodie (AO600). Supplier: Champion (asi/59528); championlocator.com
Champion captures the essence of retro style in this retail-inspired fleece that focuses on printability. “Champion, along with a few select, true American heritage apparel brands, is on fire at retail,” says Chris Guard, marketing manager for HanesBrands. “Styles worn by dads and granddads are now hot on high school and college campuses and in social shares worldwide.” A heavyweight fleece that’s soft to the touch, this hoodie sports a classic look with its flat, woven drawstring and oatmeal-heather jersey-lined hood.
Best Feature: “The Champion jocktag located on the lower hem adds authenticity,” Guard says.
