To ask if you know what a hooped T-shirt is?

[LikeDylanInTheMovies]

I was talking about a t-shirt someone was wearing and described it as being a hooped design.

• Cue blank looks all round.
  

Surely this is an everyday expression and is completely unambiguous what a hooped t-shirt is.

[monkeysox]

I have no idea!

[redhat]

? horizontal stripes?

I know this only because DSs rugby shirt is described as hooped. Otherwise Id think the more normal description was horizontal stripes.

[Nospringflower]

I know! It's got stripes all the way round like hoops! 10/10 please?!

[M00nUnit]

Never heard that expression before in my life and I'm 41.

[nemno]

I know. But only because of football shirts.

[SueTrinder]

It's knitted like a sock and has no side seams.

[MackerelOfFact]

I would assume that it had a hoop in in, like a wedding dress or a clown costume!

[molyholy]

No idea. Never heard that expression in my life.

[CointreauVersial]

Like redhat, I only know what it means because of DS's football shirt (blue and white hoops, fyi ).

[LikeDylanInTheMovies]

red hat

Yep you've got it. Like this.

[OfficiallyUnofficial]

I've never heard of it.

Maybe just a football kit thing then?

[BeJayKayven]

Ah, stripey 🙂

[Balletgirlmum]

I'd say the picture was stripy. Hoops in my mind are like rugby shirts where there are two or three at most stripes going round (usually thicker)

[DavidPuddy]

I know the expression, though I wouldn't use it. I think I heard it from my Father in law.

[GiddyOnZackHunt]

Yes I'd have though of a 2 colour horizontal striped t shirt. Although I thought there might be summat trendy I'd missed.

[Chwaraeteg]

I would have assumed it was like a hooped skirt, sorry. I've never heard that expression before.

[DinosaursRoar]

I'd only heard t-shirts like that called as striped /horizontal striped

I would assume hooped meant something to do with the construction

[JinkxMonsoon]

Nope, never heard of a hooped t shirt in my life. It's just stripey.

[LikeDylanInTheMovies]

Ballet in my mind stripes run vertically and hoops run horizontally.

[wigglesrock]

I'd know what it was - a horizontal striped top - hoops. Like a hula hoop, pretty normal description. My kids would say they had hooped tshirts, Celtic football have a few nicknames - one of them being "the Hoops" because of their kit.

[Mari50]

It's striped, sadly I know this because I live in the west of Scotland

[wigglesrock]

LikeDylanintheMovies yup - stripes go up and down, hoops go across.

[NicknameUsed]

I would describe it as a striped T-shirt. As striped clothes usually have horizontal stripes people will assume that the stripes are in horizontal bands rather than vertical stripes.

The description hooped is not common parlance anywhere I have lived.

[JoandMax]

Never ever heard that before - hooped to me would mean something completely round in shape so I'd imagine some kind of weird clown/wedding dress affair.....

[CurlsLDN]

Nope I've never heard that before
