    Was this from Tesco? I'll ask my wife, she has become obsessed with the bloody things and comes home with a new one each week. Not that she ever wears the hood up, or a cap for that matter. She's too excited by the new hairstyle she has paid a fortune for. Which for some reason has necessitated me forking out another hundred quid for a pair of straighteners to put it back together each morning. I pay 8 quid for a self righting haircut and I'm outraged at those prices.

    I am in the same club. She comes home with some new Punky Fish top that has cost a bloody fortune, but the hood of which will never see active service.

      On my shopping trip this morning, in preparation for the fast approaching winter, I bought a hooded sweatshirt. I've never had one before and so I need to know: Should I wear my cap over the hood, or the hood over my cap?

      Really?!?! You are asking a bunch of code geeks about fashion advice???? You might be better off asking my 3 year old "what looks good".

      Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                  No idea, I snuck in and flicked it on Saturday and all of a sudden Portsmouth came out of administration - I'm not doing it again.

                    One thing that really pisses me off is that its impossible to get decent fashion for men. Especially if you are as tall as me. Getting leather boots my size is almost impossible for example. I would really love some chisel toed ankle boots but its impossible. Also embroidered flares. Just cant get them. it sucks. I am a SW sengineer too, so speak for youhself!

                      Yup, the big T. Thing is, I didn't realize it was a hoodie till I got it home. Unusually, for Tesco it was pre-packed rather than hanging loose on a hanger.

                        When I was a kid, we were on holiday in the Lake District and we took a trip to Ulverston; it started to rain so we took shelter in the nearest open "attraction" which just happened to be the Laurel and Hardy museum. The curator (who also doubled as the mayor) kept trying to sell me a fez - it was very creepy in a "stop talking to preteen boys you disturbing freak" kind of way.

                              Wear the hood down, and a cap, that way you retain what little dignity you have left after being an oldie wearing a hoodie. If, however, you are intending to hang out by the precinct and throw chips at passers-by, then wear the hood over the hat. (Please ensure, of course, it is a Burberry peaked cap, not a trilby).

                                    Thanks, thats a good site. (I am not so fat, despite the screen name, as just big so jeans and shirts arent generally a problem for size, its just the relenless dull fabrics they use. I like Indian fabrics (hawaian shirts kind of do it for me) alot, but the size is a nightmare for me.

                                      On my shopping trip this morning, in preparation for the fast approaching winter, I bought a hooded sweatshirt. I've never had one before and so I need to know: Should I wear my cap over the hood, or the hood over my cap?

                                      Surely a site dedicated to programmers is the last place you go to for fashion advice.
