Winter rave outfits

A hoodie, not a costume.

Cold rooms, coat-check lines, the walk back to the car. This is the layer for that.

Winter bass shows are indoors and the night outside is not. A rave hoodie has to work for both, and it has to still look like clothing when the lights come on. Ours is an 8.5 oz Cotton Heritage fleece, cotton on the face, the design on the back, sloth on the chest. Black if they want to disappear into the uniform. Charcoal heather and vintage black hide dust and road grime. The deep colors, navy, maroon, forest and purple, are for the friend who already owns six black hoodies.

It runs small. That is the whole winter fit note. If they want it relaxed enough to pull over a tee, size up. Price is $64, $68 from 2XL. Shipping is $4.95 to $8.79 under $75. Put the light tee underneath for when the room heats up.

Warm-weather weekends are a different page. Tees, and the hat that's coming. For cold markets and gifts, start with the hoodies.

Get on the list.

Back in the '90s you found the party from a flyer at the record store and a friend who knew a guy. This is that, in your inbox. New prints hit the list before anywhere else, plus the odd note from me after a good weekend.
