Hood Times

Official Tourist Snap-On Hoods

You’ve always got a trick up your sleeve.

Here’s one for your collar.

One-up the drapey-scarf-wearing hipsters with an Official Tourist snap-on hood, the boldly designed, head-warming accessory that’s the only way to respond to the too-hot-for-a-hoodie weather of late.

When worn with a blazer, the Santogold-like stylings bring fresh flavor to a standard outfit. The hood will also keep you incognito when you’re nonchalantly standing on line at Santa’s Party House. Stuff it in your back pocket for spring shower emergencies.

There are eight crazy graphic patterns — we extra like Big Purp (a pink buffalo check), Zulu (a tribal print), and Atari Safari (zebra stripes and cave drawings). Did we mention they’re reversible? Two tricks for the price of one.

Now who’s getting hoodwinked?
