# Medieval-Armored Tops This Knight Armor Hoodie by iamknight Challenges Winter to Battle By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-02-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armor-hoodie References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2013/02/06/pegasus-knight-armor-hoodie/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/122819174/pegasus-knight-medieval-armor-hoodiemade) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Medieval-inspired Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design modern clothing inspired by historical armor for a unique fashion statement. - **Mythological-inspired Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create accessories that incorporate elements from mythical creatures for a touch of fantasy in everyday style. - **Functional Clothing Mash-ups:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional and modern clothing elements to create functional and stylish attire that stands out. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge fashion and historical references to create unique and attention-grabbing garments. - **Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop accessories that embrace mythical creatures and bring a sense of whimsy to everyday life. - **Design and Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to merge different styles and eras in clothing design and manufacturing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance Fleece Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-sea-diver.md) - [Ultra-Dense Fabric Diver Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-deep-sea-diver-hoodie.md) - [Protective Cut-Proof Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armortex-jacket.md) - [AI-Generated Motorbike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldstar-art.md) - [Superhero-inspired Stealthy Puffers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solander-batman.md) - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md) - [Four-Way Stretch Wool Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-dynawool-skuba-hoody.md) - [Seasonal Sweater Vehicle Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mek-magnet-ugly-sweater-armor.md) - [Film-Inspired Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection.md)
