……………………….The year is coming to an end. Do you need more Holiday clothes? It’s a little late for that….What you need any time of year is “Leisure” clothes. I however think “leisure” has become a misnomer, because these are not clothes just for the times you have to relax, and who changes clothes to relax…..unless you are coming home from work and need to change……These are lifestyle clothes. Clothes you wear every day no matter what you are doing. For many of you these are clothes that can be appropriate for work too depending how you put it together……………………………………………………………………………………………
A NEW HOODIE…….A NEW FABRIC…….A NEW FIT…………….A270903……….This new Hoodie has a relaxed fit…….whereas the hoodies I have done before are closer to the body. This is a hoodie you can layer with comfort………..The fabric is a TECHNO KNIT and is 80% polyester, 14%rayon and 6% spandex…..The hand is SMOOTH as butter…….I’ll say it again SMOOTH as butter…..There are some wonderful details on this hoodie that immediately say….DESIGNER………There is a set in band that follows the curve of the neckline with an accentuated top stitch detail. The sleeves are RAGLAN with a loose-ish elastic cuff. The bottom is also finished off with an elastic. It is not a TIGHT bottom, and sits on the hip with ease. There are set in BAND POCKETS with a top stitched POCKET BAG so it doesn’t flap around on the inside….which can be very annoying!……The length for the XS is approx 25 inches……The color above is…….TAUPE, but not just any Taupe…..It has a paleness, but it is not washed out. It is very neutral, and soothing at the same time……The metal zipper has a SIGNATURE ZIPPER PULL all in GUNMETAL with the BLACK ZIPPER TAPE exposed and sewn on top which gives a very modern edgy look…..The Linea “signature” is subtly emb. with tonal thread on the pocket….As I have mentioned it has a relaxed fit, and you would do fine in your regular size….However, if you like an extra roomy jacket you could easily size up one…….again, not because your size would be small, but just if you like that “look”. Jac sometimes “borrows” my sweat shirts and hoodies because she likes the “boyfriend” look…..in this case the “husband look”!….LOL…The weight of the fabric is perfect for my southern ladies as your winter outerwear piece. Even in the north of Florida occasional FROST warnings occur….For my northern ladies this is perfect right now, especially in New England where Old Man Winter hasn’t appeared yet…..and when the real cold sets in either layer with sweaters or wear a coat over it…..This will take you right through spring…..until the warm weather returns, and outwear is no longer necessary………….All of the colors have a very soft fine heather effect which really emphasizes the softness of the fabric…..You will want to give yourself a HUG……………………………………………..
……………………………..enjoy……………………..Happy Holidays……………………………..much Love……………………………….Louis
Will you be doing your signature jewelry in gunmetal? Love this hoodie!
Dear Susan…..no since there is still inventory in the existing colors they have not reordered these styles.
Louis,
Is this fabric similar to that of the A267873 top? I love that fabric.

Dear Carol….it is that fabric, and it looks great. This fabric sews very well so everything looks very precise.
I love your hoodies. Have 3 colors from last year … still holding up great …after multiple washings, color holds true.
I’m trying to figure out which 3 to get this time … taupe and aqua for sure.From the fit to the fabric, just spot on for me and my life style.
Happy holidays and thank you for your lovely clothing line.
Oh Louis, I absolutely have this thing for hoods, especially large hoods, and the design and fabric of this jacket look exceptional. Hoods are romantic to me, and frame the face beautifully. I digress here…I was married in the Vatican and made my dress. The fabric was a textured and crinkled ivory silk blend from one of those little fabric shops in the old garment district in NY. The dress was a simple empire with long sleeves. I attached a large hood to the train, and it took forever to get the right shape on that hood. I really appreciate your talent for getting it right. The fabric billowed in the breeze for the photos taken in the colonnade. I was young, not into frilly, and with some romantic notion of the past. I don’t know that I would have the guts to attempt pulling something like that off today. Oh to be young. Thank you for the stylish hoodie!
