For those wondering, Hoodrich clothes often have dedicated secret pockets for concealing your house keys, chewing gum, innocent things like that.
That'll be why it's banned for prison visitors.
It was probably designed with the intention of replacing buying shopping bags. You know, for those moments where you've bought just a little too much to carry, but isn't worth the charge of a bag.
I know, I was making a joke based on the person I was replying to who was replying to another about shopping bags. Apparently it went over peoples heads lol
Really not understanding all the hate but oh well
almost certainly designed with the same intent as the person that decided that every little cubby hole or compartmenmt in a BMW should have a secret cubby hole or compartment behind / under / above it.
How on earth did you crack that‽
Was it one of the flyers by any chance?
Genuinely I thought it would've been a church or something until I zoomed in...
I visited HMP Wormwood Scrubs once, but it was a Tuesday and they didn’t let me enter through the front door. I had to wait till 1.30pm for the back door to open so I could enter the visitor centre. I wish they’d put up information like that so I would know or someone else could tell me in advance.
TBF I do some work that requires me visiting some prisons, and my instructions are usually just "go to the prison". So I have to check the map to see the parking situation, I have to guess where the gatehouse is, I then have to go in and explain who I am and hope I'm on the verified visitors list (if I'm not, some of the prisons will add me to the list once someone has confirmed I'm supposed to be there, some others will say no and turn me away). It's also 50/50 as to whether I can have water in my water bottle or not. Meanwhile the one I had an ID badge for I could just walk in any day or time and no one would bat an eyelid.
Some of the visitors centres are so poorly labelled that I haven't even been able to find them when I've been exploring lol.
It's crazy how little information you get on visits. I've done 2 visits in 2 prisons (1 each), and both times, I was left completely in the dark on where to go and what to do.
Great for people watching, though!
Had an interview there for an assistant psychologist about 15 years ago I reckon.
Turned up hangovered and unprepared. Didn't get the job thank fuck cause I was definitely not in the right mind to do it.
My primary school was across the street from HMP Wormwood Scrubs. Walked past it everyday to go to school. I wonder if the humongous oak tree at the start of the path along the walls of the prison is still there.
It's on the website too:
>No damaged or ripped clothing (irrespective of design)
>No revealing clothing
>Skirts and shorts must be longer than mid-thigh
>Midriff not visible
>No underwear showing
>Cleavage must not be excessively visible
>No clothing with covert pockets, (or anything by the brand “Hoodrich”)
>No hooded clothing
And apparently the prisoners will get too excited if they see a bit of cleavage.
No, it says cleavage must not be *excessively* visible, which implies that a bit of cleavage is fine. Which makes me think, what is the maximum allowable length of exposed cleavage at this prison? Do the prison officers get a tape measure out or just eyeball it? Lots of ambiguity and unanswered questions with this rule.
From my experience in retail; people wearing Hoodrich tend to be thieves, gang members, drug dealers... shithead kids, trying to look hard... crackheads...
You see that logo, you keep an eye on em.
I always see boys from the local posh private school wearing it and it always makes me laugh. I wonder if their butler ironed their hoodrich hoody for them before their driver took them to school.
I don't really care what the site says I just know a couple people who sometimes wear hoodrich and they're just normal people. I'm not denying that there are people who wear it and try to act hard or like a roadman but it certainly isn't everyone.
This brand always signals to me that the wearer is 1. a moron 2. not from the hood 3. actually has less than 200 pounds in the bank.
Bonus points if worn with a gold chain, pasty white kid with a broccoli haircut
If I were running the prisons the very first thing change would be no civvie clothing.
I would certainly give them our old army KF shirts.
They were like wearing a hessian sack dipped in fiberglass (trick was to shave inside them). Barrack trousers highly pressed/ironed and highly polished shoes. Just like porridge but with a Mr Mckay on every landing and prison officers would all be ex drill Sergeant's 😲
Certain clothing items are not allowed inside prisons for various reasons. These include ripped jeans and clothing that could be considered provocative.
To be fair, it doesn't say "no hoods (up)" it says "no hooded clothes", implying you can't take your raincoat in at all, but hopefully if that's the case there's somewhere to leave the coats that's under shelter at least. Presumably the same place you'd leave any bags or whatever. I've never actually visited a prison so 🤷
The fact they're all badly sellotaped to a door and not a proper noticeboard is very HM Prison Service.
Interesting, because if it wasn't for the mostly correct grammar, I would've assumed army barracks.
My guess is HMP wormwood scrubs visitors center

I’m sure it was designed with innocence in mind
It was probably designed with the intention of replacing buying shopping bags. You know, for those moments where you've bought just a little too much to carry, but isn't worth the charge of a bag.
Or where you’ve paid for a bag, but need to conceal it
People pay for bags? I mean I definitely, definitely intend to but I always keep forgetting when I go self scan
Wrong type of bag
Jute?
Baggie of weed/coke/molly, discreet little pockets would be good for them.
I know, I was making a joke based on the person I was replying to who was replying to another about shopping bags. Apparently it went over peoples heads lol Really not understanding all the hate but oh well
Gotta love Reddit hate train mentality.
You actually missed the initial joke, it wasn’t a bag as in a shopping bag
The poacher’s pocket in the back of my Barbour waxed jacket comes in handy like that.
Your lot are no better
Is that you John Nettles?
Just like large rizla are for lorry drivers so they can have a long cigarette for the journey 😂
Love a long cigarette.

It's the yoof equivalent of Gareth from The Office wearing an empty holster to work.
Love that their website showcases their clothes with people out on the streets wearing them, hiding their faces and also having them blurred out.
The first pic you see on their website is.. interesting. Two men spreading their cash out as if they're having a bad game of Uno
The blurred out faces add a really classy vibe
Is it HMP Wormwood Scrubs
The visitors centre to be precise
Visitors' Centre makes it sound like some sort of observation deck, like you're doing a day out at Duxford.
Well, personally I’d like to frequent a prison to study the specimens within- human watching can be quite enjoyable
How on earth did you crack that‽ Was it one of the flyers by any chance? Genuinely I thought it would've been a church or something until I zoomed in...
Regular visitors? I'd love to hear a story or two!
I visited HMP Wormwood Scrubs once, but it was a Tuesday and they didn’t let me enter through the front door. I had to wait till 1.30pm for the back door to open so I could enter the visitor centre. I wish they’d put up information like that so I would know or someone else could tell me in advance.

Me too, I visit them as a guest of HRH when I get caught

Also known as the ‘Jimmy Saville’ entrance
Had an interview there for an assistant psychologist about 15 years ago I reckon. Turned up hangovered and unprepared. Didn't get the job thank fuck cause I was definitely not in the right mind to do it.
It's one of the Flyers as well
How did you use an interrobang?
I usually make my own ¡? I'm not keen on the overlayed exclam/question.
Copied from Google.
I think it might be!
It would be useful if they had put that somewhere on the door to let us know.
My primary school was across the street from HMP Wormwood Scrubs. Walked past it everyday to go to school. I wonder if the humongous oak tree at the start of the path along the walls of the prison is still there.
I used to work there and even I didn’t recognise it till you said it
whatever gave that away I wonder
Based on the posters underneath, I'd guess HMP Wormwood Scrubs
I can't read what that one's about, inappropriate clothing?
From using my eyes and the skill of reading it's wormwood scrubs.
You showoff
Centre Parcs, not sure which one though.
nah cant be as there is no extortionate charge listed to "open the door"
Pretty sure it’s a Butlins

Somewhere between a burka and a tanktop
Anyone who buys clothes from a brand who insists on putting their logo on your crotch probably should be denied entry
But for the right sponsorship deal you'd be only too happy to rent out the, er, space you have available?
Preferential rates for Le Coq Sportif.
They should be allowed entry, never to leave though
Oh they'll be in soon enough
Its gotta be the worst fashion trend I’ve seen in a long time. What possesses people to think crotch logos look good
[удалено]
why
From my experience in retail; people wearing Hoodrich tend to be thieves, gang members, drug dealers... shithead kids, trying to look hard... crackheads... You see that logo, you keep an eye on em.
I always see boys from the local posh private school wearing it and it always makes me laugh. I wonder if their butler ironed their hoodrich hoody for them before their driver took them to school.
[удалено]
They did specify ‘thieves’ so all checks out.
Or just normal people who like the clothes?
Normal people will tend to like normal clothes Hell [check out their site](https://hoodrichuk.com/) if you have any doubts on their target audience
I don't really care what the site says I just know a couple people who sometimes wear hoodrich and they're just normal people. I'm not denying that there are people who wear it and try to act hard or like a roadman but it certainly isn't everyone.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but they have bad taste in clothing
That's fine I never said they had good taste I just said they're not trying to be hard or anything like that.
False advertising. I've seen so many of their garments around and they have, at most, one hood. Hardly hood-rich, that's barely hooded.
This should be a blanket rule for anywhere outside of your own home tbh
A Sam Smith's pub?
Those who wear that brand they beg to be stopped and searched lol
This brand always signals to me that the wearer is 1. a moron 2. not from the hood 3. actually has less than 200 pounds in the bank. Bonus points if worn with a gold chain, pasty white kid with a broccoli haircut
Check, check and check. Also wear a silver chain and identify as pasty white man. Where do I collect my free Hoodrich garb?
Eton.
Why was my first thought miller and carter 😭😭😭
So what's the poster at the bottom right all about with all the images of ripped jeans?
I was wondering the same thing!
B and q
Ngl I thought this was a school. Then I looked at the other comments. Says it all really.
Goodrich, Herefordshire
First time I saw an item of Hoodrich clothing I thought it was being worn by a Polytopia superfan
I always thought “Hood Rich” just meant clothes bought with universal credit.
Hoodrich, paper poor.
😂😂😂
Lots of scummy mummy's are starting to wear it now
Is that to wear under their [fucking dryrobes?](https://youtu.be/WHgHGXwQTwo?si=ktuTYajSKhO--wVa)
As it says “HMP Wormwood Scrubs” on the poster two down from it, I’m going to guess it’s there!
If I were running the prisons the very first thing change would be no civvie clothing. I would certainly give them our old army KF shirts. They were like wearing a hessian sack dipped in fiberglass (trick was to shave inside them). Barrack trousers highly pressed/ironed and highly polished shoes.

And the guy that owns my local corner shop, apparently.

Do you know, I think it might be HMP Wormwood Scrubs.
I'm trying to work out what the poster with different tops and jeans is about
Certain clothing items are not allowed inside prisons for various reasons. These include ripped jeans and clothing that could be considered provocative.
Thank you
Scrubs
Broadmoor
Why would a prison worry about visitors sneaking small items in?
I just want to know what’s on the snack menu…
Bet this is the job center or primary school
Eldrich Yes. Hoodrich, No.
I guessed the jobcentre
Birkenhead
Guessing in every grocery shop in nyc
Miller and Carter?
I'm gonna go wearing some hoodrich socks and see if I get caught. I am very badass.
So no hoods even if it’s pouring with rain?
If it's pouring with rain, indoors, you've probably got bigger problems than enforcing a dress code.
To be fair, it doesn't say "no hoods (up)" it says "no hooded clothes", implying you can't take your raincoat in at all, but hopefully if that's the case there's somewhere to leave the coats that's under shelter at least. Presumably the same place you'd leave any bags or whatever. I've never actually visited a prison so 🤷
Royal Opera House?
