Designs that set us apart F
inden+Hales have recognised the appeal and advantages of the hoodie and translated them into a range of teamwear styles for adults and kids alike.
Their hoodies are more practical than a sweatshirt; the deep and double layered hoods providing extra protection from the elements whilst keeping the wearer as warm and comfortable as they would in a traditional sweat. The Piped Hoodie (LV336) is a variation on the best selling Contrast Hoodie (LV335) and features the same soft and smooth fabric and raglan armhole styling for ease of movement – but has a sporty white piped detail instead of a contrast panel. It comes in seven

colourways. Itʼs this added design and contrast detailing that sets the brand apart and gives the customer a potential perfect match to their needs. Indeed, the brand is finding that customers are positively welcoming being shown something different and recognising the advantages of standing out from the (plain hoodie) crowd.
The team at Finden+Hales suggest matching it up with one of their cotton Ts for maximum co- ordination. ■ For more information contact your usual distributor or visit
