The coolest hoodies in the hood
Hoodies are wardrobe staples in our household. My husband, a hoodie addict with over 20 in his closet, has gotten my boys into sporting them too. For the most part, my guys wear boring old navy or black hoodies (yawn), with the occasional sports team or stripes thrown into the mix. But hoodies with knockout prints that look like they came from somewhere far away--even outerspace maybe--well, now that's something to write home about.

The new hoodies from Winter Water Factory have insanely cool prints, completely different than your average boys' wear. We're not talking cars, trucks, robots or the ubiquitous skulls either. These prints are graphic in an entirely new way.

The Winter Water Factory hoodies are definitely on the pricier side at $52, but what you're getting is some serious quality. They're made with an unbelievably cozy organic cotton French terry (French terry is where it's at in terms of comfort!) plus the prints are quintessential whimsical Winter Water Factory signature--outerspace, sailboats, triangles and tools.

Plus they're actually made in the good ol' US of A. A lot to love about these hoodies--including the fact that you know your kids will be the only one with them at school (no superheroes here!). -Melissa The new fall boys hoodies from Winter Water Factory are $52 at www.winterwaterfactory.com.
