Greyson Clothiers makes a hoodie for just about every version of your week. Some are performance pieces built to move. Some are sweaters that happen to have a hood and can go under a sport coat without anyone blinking.
That range is the reason clients ask us which Greyson hoodie to buy. The answer depends on whether you want to wear it to the gym or to dinner. Here are the four we carry and who each one is for.
Quick Comparison
| Hoodie | Fabric | Weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorado | Performance stretch with UV protection | Lightest | Course, gym, plane |
| Traverse Waffle | Waffle-knit performance | Light to mid | Everyday layering |
| Saratoga Sweater Hoodie | 100% merino wool | Mid, fine gauge | Over a polo or dress shirt |
| Koko Sweater Hoodie | Wool and cashmere blend | Mid to heavy | Dinner, travel, gifting |
Colorado Hoodie
The Colorado is the one you will reach for most in Phoenix. Buttery-soft and breathable, with performance stretch and UV protection built in, so it works in real sun rather than just looking the part.
The detail men notice is the elastic cuffs. Push the sleeves up and they stay up, which sounds small until you have spent a round pulling your sleeves back into place.
Wear it on the course, at the gym, and on the plane. If you are buying your first Greyson hoodie, start here.
Traverse Waffle Hoodie
The Traverse is the Colorado’s slightly more substantial sibling. Waffle-knit performance fabric gives it texture and plenty of stretch, and it runs a touch heavier, which makes it the better pick once mornings cool off.
It also has a double-layer hood, so the hood holds its shape instead of collapsing flat against your back. Same elastic cuffs as the Colorado, so a rolled sleeve actually stays rolled.
This is the everyday layering piece. Over a tee, under a vest, on its own all weekend.

Saratoga Sweater Hoodie
Here is where the lineup shifts from performance to sweater. The Saratoga is lightweight 100% merino wool in a fine gauge, which means it sits neatly over a polo or a dress shirt instead of bulking up across the shoulders.
That is the whole appeal. You can dress it up or leave it casual, and it reads as a sweater rather than a sweatshirt. Merino also handles temperature swings better than cotton, which matters when the office is cold and the parking lot is not.

Koko Sweater Hoodie
The Koko is the nicest hoodie most men will ever own. A wool and cashmere blend makes it exceptionally soft, and it has the weight and drape of a real sweater.
Wear it on its own, over a dress shirt, or under a sport coat. It is one of our best sellers and an easy gift to get right, which is why we sell a lot of them in December.
