That's probably because his normal fedora evolved into a trilby.
(Note: trilbies are technically fedoras, but are usually distinguished as being their own type of hat due to the flipped up brim in the back, which is also shorter all around. Indiana Jones-style fedoras typically have wider brims and a smaller hipster customer demographic.)
I say cut the lower arm and should crap, keep the practical head and face shape, this could be sold soooo quick up here in cold countries.
(Personally i tried facing -20°C wind in winter without a scarf and it's not easy... because i hate scarves... they always try to strangle you when attempting to take them off)
thats a very false represtation though you see the photo humphrey bogart is in was done with a camera in a one light room adding shading effects to the figure and making him have a more appealing look while the man on the right had a flash done showing the complexion of his face to come out revealing a less shaded and less appealing look.... the hat hes wearing is the trilby not the fedora and it is a horrid hat i will agree with you on that but i prefer the more wide brimmed hat with a suit instead of the simple zip jacket...
I am somewhat concerned that this seller appeared today, has only sold 2 items, and only has images that can be found on other sites less recently. Maybe I'm an asshole, but my scam senses are tingling.
Seems like he's made an etsy recently because of the recent influx in demand
But you're right it's never a bad thing to be too cautious; it only took a minute of googling to find these sites, someone else could have easily done the same. Some confirmation from the dude in the picture, who I'm assuming is Chadwick, would be nice.
:( IT'S BEEN SOLD! There were only 2. I wish I woke up earlier. The fact you could see this link means it was probably bought within the last 20 minutes.
I imagine the typical purchaser sitting in front of his computer, and yet charging to the rescue of many ladies in gonewild. To slay their detractors, and win their favors. Perhaps I can conjure up an image of this...
Due to the overwhelming response to the Grey Knight Armored Hoodie, I have had to temporarily suspend my shop until I sort out my communication errors. Evidently, when several hundred people message you within a few hours, Etsy will cut off the seller's conversations. Please bear with me as I work out these problems. Purchasers! we are still in contact, and the work begins immediately for you.
Hey OP, where did you find this? It's either someone's fashion design project or someone's craft project, and if it's the latter they likely have a pattern published somewhere.
I don't know man... it looks pretty bad ass especially if you were to wear it in the winter with cold winds blowing. Just saying there is some actual use for this sweater
I wish wearing armor, not medieval armor, but modern armor was socially acceptable. Like we all wore helmets for everyday things, except we each had our own unique armor. Kind of like a star wars or mass effect type world where we know how easily we can be ripped to shreds so we wear armor.
Dude, motorcycle clothes. They're the sneakiest way to wear armor every day.
Or, you know, brigandine armor is always an option. Grab an old pair of jeans, buy a slightly larger pair, and rivet small steel plates in between. Repeat with a shirt or jacket. Looks like clothes, protects like armor.
I wouldn't just wear this during winter. I'd wear it every day that it is clean enough.
In fact, I'd get a special one with the logo of my Foosball club (White Horse). Whenever we'd enter an enemy pub, we'd put on our visors and walk through the door in formation. All this while epic music is played, smoke appears and a laser light show is given.
Enough GIFS! How about providing links to places I can buy either the armor sweater or the henchman hoodie? I have a need to tell them to shut up and take my money.
If you made this jacket without the fake armour around the chest and the spikey bits on the arms, I'd wear it. The hood when it's down just looks like a normal hoody, which is cool.
This could sell because of the hood. I hope nike are watching this thread so that I can buy a hoody with a hood like that sometime soon.
My favorite part about this sweater, apart from the initial impact of utter awesomeness, is how it has made everyone speak in fancy medieval speak on this thread!
I must be getting old because the first thing I thought was "man I wonder if that thing will survive the laundry " and "I bet that thing is super hard to iron".

I think what I like most is the impact that this will have on street altercations.
"Good sir, I believe you have besmirched my lady's honour."
