@Phill,

That you know of...

Brad, Out there, Somewhere

Quite frankly it's not the hoodies that are a problem, it's the fact that Britain has allowed its youth to get away with murder... literally.

Because children have become so violent and aggressive they use the hoodies to hide their faces when they commit offences.

Children going around in hoodies are nothing to worry about, but gangs of children going around in hoodies are something to worry about.

Children as young as 10 years old are out on the street after 9:30pm in gangs, shouting, acting aggressively, intimidating people, and enjoying the power they have - after all, no one is going to do anything to them.

This is Britain's new culture. I don't trust anyone wearing a hoodie and tell my son to take his down for that exact reason. It suggests that you are violent and would probably stab someone. Sad, but true.

The purported "war on terror" gone bad. Have we all lost our minds? The police state mentality is becoming so entrenched in all societies around the world, where can one go on vacation and have a nice, peaceful, fun time? The planet Mars is about the only place that comes to mind.

Why would you want to ban it? Why dont you ban military uniforms instead......

People in military uniforms are the ones who give you the freedom to say things with impunity. Try that in Iran.

I think they look great and if i could get one i would wear one. I am 50 years old and this would be perfect for the cold weather. Why would you want to ban it? Why dont you ban military uniforms instead......

Gee that's ashame that Britian is a police state. I didn't know.
I always thought of Britain as a great place to visit.

Paul I agree with your assesment. My son is into a cross between homeless and grundge look. I have tons of pictures of him and his fashion sense.

Allen, Media Pa. , USA

When my son was younger, he was extremely fashionable (still is) because I bought his clothes and as a young mum it was important for me to be fashionable too.

I'm not sure that I would have bought him this though - this does seem to be a bit of an idiot thing to buy and wear!

However, I can see it catching on as there does seem to be a lot more idiots than not around these days!

Kim, London,

We should all start wearing burqas - it would cause endless panic to "Police State Britain"!

Phil M, London,

My 14 yr old bought one last month ('Location' Jacket)
I'm happy to say that to date he has not knifed, mugged or beaten anyone up.

I find the best way to cope with teenage fashion crazes is with a digital camera. That way we can take pictures of them with their hoodies or these new coats or with their jeans flying at half mast and embarrass them in a few years time with how ridiculous they look just as I would recoil in horror had anyone taken pictures of me when I was 17.
