Anyways, I came here because I am curious to know what the dudes are wearing as far as letters. I want to get my brother something with letters for Christmas, but I just don't know what. My fiance is not a good example...the only letters he ever wore were intramural shirts and this one pair of basketball shorts that he had. Of all the ways to wear letters, I usually saw guys wearing them on hoodies or hats. Is that still pretty much what they do?

I suddenly feel so un-hip.

ETA: I'm talking about the midwest, if that helps. I know it's a different story in the south.
I've even seen fraternity men with the sewn vertical lettered cardigans. Not something I would do post-grad (personally), but I don't hate it. However I don't imagine your brother's school/chapter would be the vertical cardigan type...

For guys, the lettered apparel I've seen doesn't usually go far beyond hoodies, t-shirts, hats, tack jackets, windbreakers, etc. I have seen a resurgence in crew neck sweatshirts, but that might be because of the area I've relocated to. I never saw crew necks in college (East Coast mid-atlantic/pretending to be southern lol).

ETA: I'd be willing to bet that guys clothes vary a lot more with region/campus culture...
