90:10 Hoodie - Review!

Stu my fella sometimes feels a bit left out when it comes to my blogging....The kids and I get sent things to review but him....Not so much. So when the chance to review something for him came along I jumped at the chance....

 90:10 is a new brand.....Selling stylishly designed, great quality clothing for men who think of themselves as 90% grown up & 10% not....I know my fella can relate to that!....

Over on their website you can read the story about how the the founder of the company Dan came up with the idea of this brand over a conversation in the pub....(I always say you have the best ideas over a few drinks....hehehe)

We were sent the 90:10 "Headphone" Hoodie to have a look at....

90 Description: Our embroidered pullover hoodie with a feature affixing headphone loop on left side of hood as standard.This long sleeved garment is made from 85% pure organic cotton and 15% Polyester and features two pockets in side seams,two tone embroidered signature branding to left breast (small) and a double layer hood.

10 Description: To my friend who conceeded that he really liked the headphone loop but then dismissed it a "pointless gimmick"......this gimmick clearly isn't pointless!

When I got the hoodie out of the packaging I thought it was huge....It was an extra, extra large which I had ordered...I was a little worried thinking I should have ordered a smaller size....I loved the colour and you can tell by the feel it was well made and would last.....I think this may be a top I borrow from Stu now and again....hehehe

I had to wait for Stu to get in from work to give his opinion and get him to do a bit of modeling for me and Ellie had to get in on the action too...


Stu said - The colour is ace. It isn't one I would normally choose for myself but a bit of different is always good. - The size is great and I'm pleased Kim ordered larger as I prefer the baggier fit rather than the tight fit. - The "gimmick" of the headphone loop certainly isn't pointless. I think it's a great addition which I will definitely use as I like my music. - The logo isn't in your face like some other brands which I think is great. - This is a good quality hoodie which I will sure get a lot of use out of and I can see myself getting attached to this brand. - The story behind it, the name describes me. I can relate. Who wants to be all grown up anyway. - I actually already have a couple of items picked out that I want from this brand.....

So yes! He likes it....So much so he has worn it everyday since he got it....lol I think I'm going to have to peel it off his back to wash it.....hehehe

We were sent this hoodie free of charge....This is our honest review....All thoughts and opinions are my own...

It's been a weird week this last week....We haven't been up to much but there was plenty of time for photos!

Ellie came downstairs with one of those faces like she had been up to something naughty with something behind her back....I feared the worst! Turns out she had dressed her toy hamster in dolls clothes and jewellery....Phew! It did make me giggle....

11/365. 11th January 2015

I put all the clean washing away!! Hooray! It's a job nobody in this house likes to do....I thought I would shame myself on here so the pile might never get as big again!
