$100 for something that lasts and is comfortable isn't crazy. Not sure what people expect anymore, but you can't exactly buy any quality hoodie for less than $50 in most Canadian stores.
To add to this, the made in the America thing is important too. I'll pay a little bit extra to know my clothes weren't made by slaves or contain carcinogens.....not a huge amount extra, but a little bit...

Plus you are getting certainty here. You know the hoodie will last. I've bought hoodies for $40 and within a few washes, they start to fall apart at the seams, stretch out of shape, develop holes etc....

Once again, we're talking about $100 for a piece of outerwear, not $1000.
