To be fair, it's not really a hoodie either as I feel that implies it's a sweater or has the thickness of one. It really is just a long sleeve shirt with a hood attached.
What is the distinction in your mind?

Indeed. Anyone who lives near a beach in a warm climate is likely familiar with these long sleeve hooded “tees”.
As someone who lives near a beach in a warm climate... I've never seen anyone wear one of these nor have I seen them for sale in stores. I can't imagine when I'd wear one either - if I want protection from the sun I'll wear a hat or sunscreen - not a hood.

Very good to know, now I won't waste $15. ;-) This whole comment thread is teaching me that apparently there isn't /any/ objective truth when it comes to t shirt comfort. Before today I figured that was an objective fact that the cheap Hanes ones were unloved -- neck always stretched out, too short and stout. I'm a fan of LA apparel (aka american apparel) as well as some bella+canvas ones. That stretched out neck jus…
> This whole comment thread is teaching me that apparently there isn't any objective truth when it comes to t shirt comfort. That's true of many things and has been for a long time. "De gustibus non disputandum est," as the Romans said. "It's useless to argue about taste."
I updated your statement for the remainder of modern history. ^_^
I disagree with nearly this entire post, which is fun. I find that the poly blend shirts that the author loves (especially like the MongoDB shirt) are clingy and sweaty. Softness is low on my list of shirt priorities - comfort and fit are high. I don't know how you could see "mongoDB" and not think it is tech, but maybe I'm too mired in tech to have an outsider's perspective. Also, that dark heathered grey color is e…

And then you're used to it, and you start wearing them elsewhere too, because why bother with lesser protection?
They may be more popular at higher altitudes than at the beach though. Beach folk have a bit more atmosphere protecting them.
I still have a couple (we did it multiple times) and actually really like them. Same 50/50 blend as the mongo shirt.

> don't know how you could see "mongoDB" and not think it is tech I disagree with the author in that I would be comfortable wearing a mongodb shirt in public. Mongoloid is a slur, and at least in Norway it's often shortened to "mongo".
Is that a racial slur (i.e., Asian), or about Down syndrome? The latter was used in the UK many years ago, I've not heard it for 25 years (?), so "mongo" wouldn't raise an eyebrow here now.
AFAICT it's not exactly used against people with actual Down syndrome, but rather as a synonym for "idiot" and the like.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or serious, but either way is a sad reflection on the state of the DB industry.
Now I gotta go find it in my closet...
