    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).

      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!

      Can you not use that site that Johnny Vegas advertises. Can't remember the name (got it[^]). I have no idea what their stuff is like though.

        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?

        Are you mad? Asking a bunch of techies for fashion advice? If it hasn't got "there's no place like 127.0.0.1" on it, then I don't want to know.

          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.

                                  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.

                                      A fashion question to a bunch of geeks is a huge no-no.

                                        Au contraire, mon ami. A fashion question to a bunch of geeks is a huge ho-ho. :)

                                          Yes, and they'll be laughing with you, not at you.
