I'm in talks with a publisher about my comic book. In it, the main character is a hunter who hunts monsters, but in a way inspired by how real hunters hunt. My editor suggests that the character wears a hoodie whenever he is sneaking, to inform the reader that he is sneaking. I then tell my editor that a hoodie doesn't make sense in the context of the story and the fictional world, along with reasons why. But my editor is adamant that the hoodie is a must, because otherwise, readers won't know that the character is sneaking. Also according to my editor, a hoodie-wearing character is what's selling in the market right now, so my character has to wear it no matter what if I want to get my comic book published. Should I continue to defend my point? Or should I just let this one slide, and make a (possibly sloppy) excuse in the story as to why the character wears a hoodie?
