I was thinking this morning that I should lower the bar early on shop talk, and begin a post on Giants fan fashion. Any thought on fan fashion begins and ends with the SNUGGIE, pictured above. I know there’s another snuggie that has rose to fame via infomercials, designed for home lounging on couch, with arm holes for holding the remote control. The version depicted above is what I call the STREET SNUGGIE, to be worn in the world, on the streets, and most importantly, at the Giants game. Here’s why: it has big pockets, a hood, a plaid pattern that borders on orange and black, reaches down to the knees for cold night games, has great structure and form so that it resembles a cape but wears like a jacket. What more could you ask for? As night comes on at the ballpark, and the wind winds its way across the uppermost stands, the SNUGGIE definitely raises the bar on comfort. Extra innings, here we come.

*Stay tuned for more notes on fan fashion, with the goal being a celebration of fan culture, whether it comes in orange and black converse sneakers, vintage Giants sweaters or fuzzy panda hats.
