Like a white knight on a cold night

I'm looking for a heavy white hooded sweatshirt.

I've been looking for a heavy white hooded sweatshirt, primarily to wear to football/hockey games underneath a jersey. I was hoping that one of these Carhartt sweatshirts would come in white, but they don't (which makes sense, but alas). Does anyone know of something of a similar weight, except, well, in white? Doesn't matter if it's a pullover or a zip-up; I'm more concerned with how warm it is and how well it's constructed.

Hanes sells a variety of sweatshirts and it looks like many come in white.

Trying not to be snarky but did you Google "white hoodie"?

I have been very disappointed in the sweats I've ordered from Hanes recently--bad construction, weird sizing. I'd recommend Lands End instead.

Champion is still around and I wear my boyfriend's hoodie all the time and its very warm.

American Apparel makes hoodies in white. I've borrowed a friend's "Nantucket Fleece" hoodie, and found it to be surprisingly warm and well constructed, but it is more of a pale gray than white.

I did, but it's getting harder and harder to use Google for this sort of thing.

I'm thinking perhaps a trip to Walmart is in order one day this week.

Lots of companies make heavyweight hoodies. They also make white hoodies. There just doesn't seem to be a great deal of crossover between the two.
