The unlikeliest combination can sometimes be the most successful, like Jell-O and vodka, cats and cheezburgers, and David Blaine and pane-of-glass prisons from Superman II. Bringing together hoodies and suits in sweet garment harmony, House of Billiam.
From their East London workshop, HoB creates bespoke reversible hoodies that outclass typical cotton-heavy paunch-cloakers by using your choice of hard-to-find suit-caliber fabrics sourced from around the UK for both exterior and interior linings, giving you the power to choose, and flip between two materials, each optimized to mask a specific condiment. To get started, choose between a "Collaboration" hoodie (your choice of fabrics, handmade based on your chest size), or a "Demi-Bespoke" job (choice of fabrics, custom fit to chest, waist, and sleeve measurements), select fabrics for the exterior and inner lining from their vast collection of textiles (polka dots, brightly colored stripes, plaids, geometric patterns, houndstooth, etc), and have someone measure you following HoB's simple instructions, which they note can be done fully clothed, or "you can do it naked to make it more exciting", which is either a joke, or their way of breaking it to you that dry humping isn't actually sex. To submit an order, send HoB an email detailing all your model/fabrics/sizing info, how you want to pay, your address, whatever name you want printed on the tag (favorites include Herman) and they'll reply to confirm with an invoice for payment (shipping's free) and a tentative delivery date approximately three weeks out, plenty of time for you to practice telling your boss that you're actually wearing a suit, it just looks different because it's British.
If hoodies aren't your steez, they also make fully bespoke jackets which they'll work with you to create from scratch in more elaborate designs, a recipe for another unlikely combination, a happy you, and clothes.
