Help to find (a less than stylish 🤣) cosy hoodie

Wasn’t sure where else to post. I am hunting for a soft cozy hoodie for myself to wear in our rather cold living room of an evening.
I do not want borg or teddy fleeces, I want something that feels silky smooth. No joy anywhere locally -any ideas. I’m a size 18

The thing is - silky smooth suggests synthetic fibres, or actual silk - neither of which will be particularly warm. For that you need thick cotton or wool.

Woolovers have merino mix hoodies have you seen those? @Twizzletoe
I've had a few they are cosy they also do a cashmere mix dressing gown & have 20% off at the moment.

The Nike phoenix club hoodies are really soft and cozy, they are oversized too so size down if you don't want it too baggy.

You are right but I have warm layers underneath as well. Sensory reasons for the synthetic fibre silliness that appeals

Should have said I can’t do wool. It makes me itchy

What's your budget? I know you said no wool, but have you tried cashmere? I think this would be your best best, I'd get something on Vinted to save ££

I bought this recently in Tu - absolutely fits the bill of silky smooth! Have worn it every evening since in my drafty living room 🙂

Sorry I posted in a hurry and have not been very clear. I have under layers as well. For me the hoody needs to feel cosy as well as add a little warmth. For me that means the silky smooth feel.
sensory needs mean I Will end up rubbing the surface and/or seams

Primark hoodies in the men's section often feel like baby grow material , is that getting any closer?
Or more like a kimono or kantha ( both usually very soft material)

Twizzletoe · 20/12/2024 21:07

closer but something like a longer velour pile would be even better

I'm always up for synthetic silliness myself

I’ve got a velour one from Mountain Warehouse which is very tactile. Not terribly warm though.

Twizzletoe · 22/12/2024 09:17

Thanks all the lipsy one looks nice. I will take a trip to mountain warehouse hadn’t really thought about them

Edited

I got mine new with tags in a charity shop. No hood but a drapey/cowl sort of neck. I’ve never been in store but maybe worth a look if you’re near one.

Carouselfish · 22/12/2024 14:25

Roots clothing company. Canadian. Warm and heavy.

Doliveira · 22/12/2024 15:32

The warmest is the Dunelm teddy. Soft but fluffy rather than silky.

Me too!
I'm currently wearing a really thick cream teddy fleece hoodie and trousers combo (i look like a sheep!). But I'm sat here with no heating, lovely and warm.😊

I bought this recently. It feels really smooth on.
