BBC - Birmingham - Features - New hoodie menace?

Hooded jackets which zip up to completely mask the face are on sale in Birmingham shops.

Looks like something that a wrestler would wear. If worn by hoodie hoolis I wonder how they would feel if the police hid their mush and number when roughing them up. Oops sorry arresting them.

They are certainly good - for anyone who wants to rob a corner shop etc. Instant anonymity for the discerning mugger!

Wooly Balaclavas were sensible winter headwear in 1940s
I knit one for my brother
This is a variation on an old theme
Shame that the practice of protecting the face from winter weather has been abused by IRA and muggers.
A nylon stocking over the head produced scarier results IMHO.

Must say I would feel intimidated if confronted with someone wearing one of these. But then again I feel intimidated when I see a gang of youths with their face visible.

I think there maybe a world of difference between traditional Islamic dress and a cheap, tacky hoodie from Birmingham market. How about the religious aspect of the niqab; you really can't compare the two.:rolleyes:

Am only pleased that my son refused to wear trackie bottoms and hooded jackets since the age of 11 years ('cept on the sport's field). Not good for attracting the right type of female he thought !

Well, they 'aint gonna' score in this fancy dress, are they ? Let's face it ('scuse the pun), anyone who buys them are doing it to shock and look menacing, so don't really consider bought for fun! How much are they anyway ? Bet not cheap.

I can see what you mean, from the aspect of covering the whole face. It does get some people annoyed when they are asked to remove a woolly scarf from around their mouth and nose when entering a bank and then right behind them comes a woman in full face covering. That face hoodie is a lot more intimidating than a niqab though. It's obviously intended to shock.

This one is worse. It reminds me of the "Are you my Mummy?" episode of Dr. Who.

Over the top of their head as usual I would think.

Looks like it would be good for a Canadian winter. Looks a lot like a spook touque.
