      Nope but you want them to be able to hang down a bit

      Why?  If they're not being used, what's the point in having them at all?

        Because if they aren't long enough to hang down they will just kinda stick out.

          I'd second that the drawstring would look better with more length. It's really more of an aesthetic than a functional detail, yes, which is why that matters.

          Does anyone simply pull the drawstring out entirely? That would look better than a short drawstring IMO.

          Think it, be it.

            might look short cause the hood is stretched out in the picture.

            I know maybe 1 or 2 people on the forum with a head big enough to fill that hood, hahahaha

            head high, middle finger higher

              Lol. That hood looks big enough to fit a ginger melon

                Nah, still not big enough.  Needs to be more like this-

                BTW, I'm in favor of no drawstrings on the hoodie.  No one ever uses them, they mostly get in the way, so why have them?

                  I'm convinced that Giles and co are trying to make me go broke this fall.
                  Buffalo checks, ombres, indigo flannels all look great.

                    I always pull the drawstrings out of my hoodies, but I've never paid more that like $50 for one. I might be more cautious if I'd spent more money on one, although I'm not sure why that would matter.

                      Somehow the fact they're so short makes it look like they're struggling be drawstrings or something…

                      I think the ones on the zip hoodies are the perfect length. Just an aesthetic preference for me...

                        I use the drawstrings.

                        Screw you guys.

                          Have you thought about making the drawstrings longer?  They look somewhat short in the pic.  But it looks great!

                          They will be longer and black…

                            Yessir, I think extra length with contrasting white (or off-white) would be the winner

                                I pull the drawstrings out the second I get them, top or bottom in everything.

                                  It does for me.  But funny it did not first look…..Here it is just in case...

                                  Assuming this ends up in production (early I know…), any idea what colours might be available?

                                        I have a lead on some made from organic, long staple, ethically hand harvested Zimbabwe cotton.  The bolls are then combed by monks in a monastery in Bhutan and spun into threads on authentic 18th century wooden spinning wheels.  That thread is then carried by musk oxen along ancient silk trading routes to master weavers in Constantinople (they refuse to accept the newfangled name, as they don't follow fads).  There it is woven into custom length drawstrings for only the most discerning of owners.  I'll hook you up with some, provided you pass the interview for prospective clientele.

                                        Or you could just use an old shoelace.  Your call.
