IHSW-05 - Super Heavy Plain Hoody

[thomasnunnally]

Just sent payment for mine (was traveling).  Very glad to hear the review!

[kit99bar]

that facial expression!  so model-like!

XL the same sizing as the 2011 forum hoody?

[Giles]

Not according to the measurements…

Forum Hoody
XL
Shoulders 22.0
Length 25.6
Chest (P2P) 24.0
Arm 23.6

But someone who has both may be able to comment on a side to side fit 'n feel

I just wore this in XL with the 41 and a tee under it. The 41 is a XXXL. I feel like XXXLs can fit under this hoody, as long as its not the ultra heavy stuff. I can fit my XXXL 51 under it, but I feel like the Stay Puff marshmallow man. The weather here is about 40F and with wind it feels like 32F. I couldn't feel the wind at all on my upper body.  The hood is also double fabric, so it's super warm and wind proof.  If you dig hoodys, it's a must-have.

Small restock today…

Forum hoody is a good bit more roomy in the body and arms. To me the hood fees about the same. The sleeves in particular are quite a bit tighter on the 04 and 05. Softness is very much the same to me.  Length is very close to the forum hoody. Quick and dirty but that's what I can say about the two side by side.

i was just crunching numbers to see how this would work - something that irk's me generally on smaller fitting hoodies is that the hood is useless, being that you're a xxxl (as am i) generally how do you feel the hood fits on this one?

i could use a new hoody.

I know what your sayin lirola and this hood is good…you can feel good about the hood.

"You can feel good about hood…"

[babyknight]

got mine today and all I can really say is that yes, IH has perfected the hoody.

[Nathan Arizona]

Fully. Best Hoody I've ever owned.

Zee and Adam, I'm lovin the Hood talk.  And yes, best hoody ever, hands down.  It's not comparable to anything else.

Jesse, My chest is a 24, if this helps. These also stretch a little and not in a bad way.  Also, once you wash it, it snaps back up to pre-stretch state.

pics anyone?…

Got any pics Mike? I'm interested to see how a 48 chest looks in this thing

@Giles:

[Giles]

Thanks Giles!

[jabber]

I missed release date and these disappeared so fast in my size.
Any chance of restock soon? Size S black. Or should I rather stick with printed version?
Thanks G/P.

Cheers, Martina
