As t-shirt season winds down and the cold weather approaches, what sort of winter apparel and products would you like to see? More hoodies? Bags? Hats? Something entirely different?

I want to start shifting focus away from t-shirts to other stuff that will be more appropriate for year-round purchases and holiday gifts. Any suggestions will be appreciated. And if someone else mentions something that you like (and would purchase), let me know. Multiple votes for stuff are more likely to get my serious attention.

Winter? What's that?

T-shirts are appropriate year-round here.

How 'bout Fish earmuffs?

Bring back the stein! It's my favourite.

Drinking apparel in my opinion is good all year round. So mugs, glasses, plastic ice cubes, stubbie coolers, eskies, etc. would all be good.

I like the Neil and Bob toques and it would be wonderful to get one with Oliver flipping everyone the bird. I have had so many people fall in love with that t-shirt and ask how to get themselves one (I know for a fact that one of the women who works at my favorite brew pubs bought 2 of the Oliver t-shirts having never heard of goats before) and I think it would work as a winter hat. Fish would also look good on a hat.

I could really use a cool new baseball hat. Long sleave t-shirts and hoodies are also appreciated for those cold winther months.

I would like to see more hooddies and stocking hats. I like niel and bob, but I personally need variety...for it is the spice of life.

I think I mentioned it once before, but some nice embroidered baseball caps would be excellent.
Also, while they're not as hip as t-shirts, there are some of us who are stuck in corporate america who can't wear t-shirts to work - so button-up shirts with embroidered logos (or polo shirts, but button-ups are preferred in my opinion) would be really excellent.

So you would be able to wear a oliver-bird-flip shirt, as long as it was button-up and embroidered?

Well, as much as I'd like to, probably not. Although, if there _was_ a button-up, embroidered Oliver shirt, I would buy one simply to wear on my last day whenever I finally give up and quit. But a Neil or Bob or Toothgnip or Diablo would be really cool.

If Oliver were small enough on the shirt no one would notice unless they looked really closely.

I noticed that both Penny Arcade and PvP are now offering blankets [thinkgeek.com] through Think Geek. Big fuzzy blankets are always fun.

Otherwise, another cool idea (ha ha, I made a pun) would be a knit scarf with an embroidered character on it. Stuffed or beanbag characters would be cool too. And of course, action figures.

I'm gonna second the notion of blankets (even though I might not buy one myself).

I'm sure a lot of your readers would love to snuggle up with a big, evil ... chicken.
