A hoodie for people with necks

Do you ever find your hoodie doesn't quite cut the mustard when it comes to keeping the front of your neck warm? When strolling along Coogee beach this afternoon, the chilly breeze had me clasping at my hood to cover my neck. What a wasted use of a hand that could have been catching a frisbee or skimming a stone across the wavelets. Maybe my neck is a sensitive one but I think we all feel a little safer with a cosy Adam's apple... thus the popularity of the macho men's scarf. In fact, its been reported that 87% of all men who wear scarfs are in fact male.

It struck me while walking with one arm rendered useless that a small adjustment to the hoodie design could turn it into an effective neck warmer without any expensive or weighty accessories. Just add button holes and lace it up.

On my return home I quickly made the change (6 strategic button holes) and have tested it on the roof terrace with great results. My neck is happy and my hands are free to wander.

In my opinion the decorative nature of this adaptation softens the thuggy reputation of the hapless hoodie and Bonds will soon be paying me the big bucks.
