For anyone who’s ever wondered what it’s like working for Brad, I’ll tell you: dude is a fucking dictator. Last week, I pitched him denim climbing pants, faux suede trucker caps, and some really beautiful English-made shoes. But did he pick any of that stuff? No. Instead, he made me write about these Outdoor Voices Upstate Hoodies. Those other items “aren’t right for WS,” he said, or “they’re too expensive.” But this US-made, lightweight poly/spandex hoodie is “more up everyone’s alley.” Tell me readers, is this $110 hoodie really better than the stuff I picked?
