Gepard City Hoodie
City Hoodie can be used as a hoodie or as a hooded cowl. The version with the short face opening can be used as cowl, only wearing the hood up in windy and tough weather. The version with the large face opening fits loosely around the face and the hood can be worn in many ways. Both hoodies are comfortable with plenty of room for a big or wavy hair. Optionally you can make the face edging or just the drawstring in a contrast color.
