    This latest addition, the faceless hoodie, to the Skanger wardrobe gives them total anonymity.

    Would you be happy to have gangs of young men wandering the streets effectively wearing masks?

    Should these garments be allowed?

    While we are at it, can we ban Burberry?

    Years old but i suppose if it keeps them warm?...

    Why don't we ban Hallowe'en masks too? or balaclavas or fake beards or sun glasses or wigs or face paint or clowns or mimes (not a bad idea!) or make up or large swimming goggles or ice hockey masks or.... you get the idea!

    Trying to ban an item of clothing is ridiculous.

    /EDIT unless, obviously, it has guns for sleeves and is stuffed with cocaine (and not the pure stuff, the bad stuff that kills people)

    They should be encouraged. Before you used to have search scumbags before you found their balaclavas. Now wearing these gives us carte blanch to search them because if you're wearing one you're probably up to no good.

    the name of the company making them is reassuring.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,477 ✭✭✭Kipperhell


    Been around for quite a while with many companies making them. The first ones I saw were with skulls on them for the Emos about a 2 years ago

    I'd be seriously scared if people were walking behind me wearing them.

    The brick wall anyone calling for the banning of these is going to run into is the islamic burka.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭magick

    They'll be barred from going into most pubs and all banks anyway.
    Ther are asking to be picked up by the fuzz!!

    The company, Criminal Damage, aims directly for chavs and hooligans, trying to win market shares from such as Burberry and Stone Island.
    Money to be made lads.

    I want one


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭hottstuff


    Wayhay!!
    If only the boyzz at the mayday riots had these then they wouldn't have given SF & Celtic a bad name!!!:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭layke


    Anyone else think 'Spiderman' when they saw this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,787 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    These have been around for ages. Like it's been said already anyone covering they're face for non religious reasons is probably up to no good and should be tormented by the police.

    Someone I know just came back from England and decided to head up town wearing one the last day. Said it keeeps her face and head warm, which is why she bought it.

    I'm pretty sure I know who is behind the mask. My cousin did a lot of modeling for them awhile back, and that was one of the items he modeled. I sure as **** hope it's not, if it the tiny bit of respect I had for him is gone. He's a terrible actor who now makes money working 9-5 and doing the odd photo shoot. The fact that he looks like a twat makes him perfectly suited to modeling items of clothing similar to those in the pics.
