# Bloomingdale's Hood (if applicable) Field Guide

> Fixed or detachable by button, snap, zip, etc. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Hood (if applicable)** is an optional feature bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the kids and baby tops department. It says whether a hoodie or hooded top has a fixed or detachable hood, how the hood comes off, and what else it carries: a drawstring, a lining, a faux-fur trim. Bloomingdale's prints the value as a bullet on the product page.

The field sits at the parent level, one phrase for the whole style, and takes up to 254 characters including spaces. Tops without a hood leave it blank.

## The rules

| Rule | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Required | No. Blank for any top without a hood |
| Level | Parent. One value per style, shared by every color and size |
| Length | 254 characters at most, including spaces |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Content | Fixed or detachable, and the details below when the source states them |

Details Bloomingdale's asks for: fixed or detachable, and how it detaches (button, snap, zip); whether it stows into the collar; a drawstring; faux-fur trim, and whether that trim is fixed or removable; adjustability; a lining and its material (fleece, shearling, jersey). For kids' tops, note when the drawstring is absent or non-functional if the source says so, since many children's hoodies omit it.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fixed hood with drawstring | Good | Attachment plus detail |
| Zip-detachable hood with drawstring | Good | How it detaches, plus the drawstring |
| Fixed hood with removable faux-fur trim (polyester) | Good | Trim, its removability and material |
| Attached hood stows into collar | Good | A feature a shopper cannot see in the photo |
| Hooded | Weak | Says nothing beyond the category |
| Pink lined hood | Weak | Describes one colorway |

## Common mistakes

- Filling the field for a top with no hood. Leave it blank.
- Writing "detachable" without saying how (button, snap, zip).
- Describing the hood's color or the lining color of one variant.
- Repeating the [Closure](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb5-kids-and-baby-tops) of the garment instead of the hood's own details.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello fills Hood (if applicable) once per parent listing in the kids and baby tops department, reading the product description first, then the attributes, then the images. It writes one phrase under 254 characters with no trailing period, covering attachment, detachment method, drawstring, trim and lining when the source states them, and leaves the field blank for garments without a hood. Other fields for this department are in the [Bloomingdale's field directory](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Hood field required for kids and baby tops on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional and applies only to hooded tops. A top without a hood leaves it blank.

### How do I describe a hood that zips off?

"Zip-detachable hood", followed by any other details: "Zip-detachable hood with drawstring".

### Should I say when there is no drawstring?

Yes, when your product data states it. Many kids' hoodies omit the drawstring on purpose, and parents look for that.
