Esteemed Mission writer @brittneyg asks an extremely important question about San Francisco:
An illuminating Twitter discussion followed — more here — and thanks to @therealWBTC, we are collecting DATA – how many hoodies do you own?
Do hoodies outnumber San Franciscans? Add your zip code and we can answer that eternal question — who has more hoodies, the Mission or Outer Sunset? And how many dogs have hoodies?
And what percentage of those have white drawstrings and zipper-trim.
and how many denim jackets in the mission. HOW MANY.
EXACTLY
less denim jackets than people, I’d guess.
Probably. Though it depends on how many Canadian Tuxedos there are.
Pending initial results, I am happy to set up a more detailed follow-up survey asking additional questions. I was also thinking that the percentage of hoodies owned that have a past or present employer’s logo on them should be assessed.
someone stole one of mine from a bar the other day but i’m guessing it’s still in the mission.
my drawstring end got lost in my hood while being laundered, so i YANKED THE WHOLE THING OUT!
Floppy hoodie, great. I need to show you the old safety pin restringing trick.

there are more hoodies than people in san francisco hands down.
How are you defining “people”?
Soylent Green
Man, a soylent green burrito would be the tits right about now.
Soylent Verde
¡TODOS SOMOS SOYLENT VERDE!
I have 14. One day as I was killing myself at the gym on the stair climber, I mentally went through my hoodies and counted them.
See? I do so know when to shut up!
I only have one and it says GAP on the front. Isn’t this the minimum requirement?
Somebody should make a “Pop vs Soda” style map of the City’s hoodie density.

Zipper or pullover, function or fashion?
Definitely more hoodies than people. Beyond the fact that most of the people own more than one hoodie, just think of all the unsold hoodies in the tourist zones, Gaps, Old Navys, American Apparels, Giants Dugouts…
Unsold hoodies don’t count. Hoodie strings are lame. Take ‘em all out and bask in the relaxed fit of your hoodie.
