And you know what gets me is all these celebs and idiots doing this “hoodie march” or wearing a “hoodie” have no idea WHY a hood is worn. Because when someone is committing a crime, they don’t want to be ID-ed! From the Una-bomber to bank robbers, to shooters, the hood is used to hide ones face. This isn’t a fashion statement, it’s a freakin’ tool used by crooks.
Such as this guy trying to rob a jewelery store who got his ass handed to him....

Any cab driver in any city is not going to pick up someone wearing a hood like that. Same with anyone working in a store or bank, they see someone walk in wearing a hood, immediately it brings up a red flag.
You are correct about the hoodies-even whern I was a teen, descriptions of robbers on the 10 o’clock news often included hooded sweatshirts/jackets, sometimes in combination with a ski mask. Those are two articles of clothing that aren’t usually worn in warm weather or indoors by those with innocent intentions...
