That fondness isn’t a prerequisite, simply something which gives the reviewer an obvious way into the piece. I’ve got to admit, being asked to write a review of the Stanley Stella Changer sweatshirt didn’t initially fill me with joy. The reason is purely personal, I simply don’t adore sweatshirts in the same way as I do t-shirts, polos or hoodies. Give me one of the latter and we’re good to go.
