Face off against the remainder of winter with this knight armor hoodie by etsy user iamknight.

Titled Pegasus Knight Armor Hoodie, this bad boy is a marvel of medieval proportions. Pegasus is a mythological white horse that can fly and so, to ride such a mystical beast, one would need to be clad in equally mystical clothing.

The hoodie is intricately designed with epic patterns, buttons and ties. The [wings on the hood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomade-58) are no doubt inspired by the flying beast that this suit is matched to ride with.

Although this suit is an incredible feat of craftsmanship, it would take the bravery of a knight to wear this armor hoodie in public. One can expect to get a lot of awkward stares and questions wearing this bad boy around.
