Looking for men’s hoodie (brands, European, buy, American)

[RMD3819]

Hope this is the right forum...

Amazon hasn’t been any help.

-Men’s hoodie
-Full zip with hoodie
-Hoodie needs drawstrings or cinching string.
-Extra pocket(s). Chest pocket and/or inside pocket in addition to the front “hand warmer” pockets.
-Mid weight to heavy weight.
-Right side zipper-----> this seems to be a big issue, many have left side zippers.
-Want quality and willing to pay for it.

Thanks.

Try sporting goods stores and/ or REI

I thought left side zippers were for women's jackets

That seems to be the standard but MANY seem to be left side on men’s jackets, at least on Amazon.

From what I heard, many European brands use left side zippers regardless of gender. Right side zippers on men's jackets is mostly an American thing.

Right. But why it even matters?

Ask John Fetterman! Just kidding.

I haven't seen any hoodies I was inclined to buy on Amazon for quite a while. The problem is determining exactly what kind of material you are going to get. Many are too thin and there are some very strange new fabrics out there that have been an unwelcome surprise.

The best ones I know are at the sporting goods stores. I have had good luck buying gently used things from Ebay but it takes some patience to find what I want.

Check LL Bean.

Maybe i'm dense - but arent zippers omnidirectional?
