The Brand Behind My Favorite Blanket Makes a Ridiculously Comfy Oversize Hoodie I’ll Be Wearing Until Spring (It’s on Sale!)
I know I’m not the only one who’s looking forward to true autumn weather. When the leaves start to change and there’s a crisp coolness in the morning air, who doesn’t get excited? And since I live in Louisiana where it’s practically summer year-round, any hint of a wind chill is a welcome development. It’s also when I start getting my home fall and winter ready with my coziest essentials.
If you’re like me and love to have throw blankets and pillows around, a good place to look for some new options is The Best List. I’ve tried out a ton of soft goods from comforters to quilts, and have racked up quite a few favorites over the years. Based on my extensive testing, a Best List-winning brand worth keeping a close eye on is Big Blanket Co. They’re known for oversized blankets and bedding that you’ll want to bundle up in all year round. In fact, one Big Blanket product I’m looking forward to using more often in the coming months is their Hideout Hoodie.
What Is the Hideout Hoodie?
The Hideout Hoodie is a wearable blanket from editor-favorite brand Big Blanket Co. that has a ton of cozy features built right into its design. The hoodie comes in one generous size, has thumb holes in the cuffed sleeves, and is equipped with a ready-to-use sleep mask in the hood. The hoodie pouch is also conveniently zippered so you can choose to use it to keep your hands warm whenever you please. Its soft and smooth exterior is made with polyester and spandex which gives it some stretch, and its plush sherpa-lined interior ensures optimal coziness.
The oversized, extra-long Hideout Hoodie is available in a variety of colors and patterns that are often dependent on the season. The colors include some limited edition styles that are sure to sell out if you don’t get to them quickly, including spaceships, ’90s-inspired motifs, cow print, dog print, and buttered popcorn. Durable and wrinkle-resistant, the Hideout Hoodie is machine-washable and even comes with its own stylish (and matching) drawstring bag for storage.
Why I Love the Hideout Hoodie
One of my favorite things to do when the weather starts to cool down in the morning is bundle up. I have tons of throw blankets from knit styles to chunky designs, but a wearable blanket really is the best of both worlds. First, I love that the Hideout Hoodie comes with its own storage bag. I don’t keep my throws out all of the time, otherwise, there would be dog hair all over them. In the past, I’ve had to either store them in the linen closet or hang them up in my closet — and they take up a lot of space. But not the Hideout Hoodie. I can keep it neatly stowed away in its sack without it being in the way.
The Hideout Hoodie is incredibly cozy and is made for snuggling inside of it. The thumb holes are a nice touch and the zippered pocket is genius. It prevents any unnecessary billowing from the hoodie if I’m not keeping my hands warm or stashing the TV remote. The built-in eye mask is another excellent feature that caters to relaxation. It blocks enough light for a daytime nap, and when I don’t want to use it, I can tuck it away with ease. The Hideout Hoodie is definitely a piece I’ll be wearing constantly as the temperatures continue to cool and the daylight hours get shorter. Plus, since there’s no re-wrapping or readjusting, it’s way easier to wear a blanket around than carry one. What’s not to love?
