NEW AND NOTEWORTHY

RE-INVENTING ATHLETIC FLEECE
Two new ways for men to wear stripes

Following the current all-over print trend, the Trent Stripe Hoody and Dalhousie Stripe Crew Sweatshirt combine athletic fleece with preppy stripes.

Made of 80% cotton and 20% poly-fleece, the hoody and sweatshirt are great for early to mid-fall weather. Additional details include the classic beaver patch on the left chest and an all-over yarn-dyed finish, meaning all stripes are knit into the sweater, not printed.

Created by Senior Designer for Mens, Rita Shulman, both the pop-over hoody and crew neck sweatshirt come in different colours. The hoody is available in black with port stripes, walnut with medium grey mix stripes, and medium grey with grey mix stripes. Midnight navy with grey mix stripes, and charcoal mix with port stripes make up the sweatshirt colours.

Coordinated by Martha Galora, Merchandise Manager for Mens, the hoody and sweatshirt are set to hit stores next week and are available at select Roots stores in Canada.

• Trent Stripe Hoody, sizes XS-XXL, also available at select Roots stores in USA, retail price: $88; Dalhousie Stripe Crew Sweatshirt, sizes XS-XXL, retail price: $84
