My Kind of Hoodie




I thought I would share a hoodie or two from 1948.  They are infinitely more chic than any contemporary hooded outerwear I have ever seen.


There is even a dress with a removable hood, and it is plaid!  It really doesn’t get any better than that, does it?


Rain or evening appropriate . . .


Short  . . . 


Or long . . .


They all look so sophisticated!

  2. Love the coats, but they seem to require great flexibility in the right ankle.
