IHSW-04 - Super Heavy Printed Hoody

[Giles]

Restocked

[rabbit999]

can anyone tell me how many oz the fabric in these hoodies is?

[Giles]

No.  It's a lot though.  Want me to weigh one?

[rabbit999]

Actually I'd like to know the fabric weight of the IHSW-05 - I'm curious to compare it to other thick hoodies I've seen online. so far I've seen a 26 oz hoodie, (shell 19.5oz. +body lining 7 oz.), a 24 oz  and a 18 oz.
I'm looking to get a new hoodie and I'm excited about the IHSW-05. It looks awesome and should go great with my IH-634S!

I'm not a great expert on hoodies, but I am sure someone can help out…...

I make it simple, its a damn great hoodie and worth the money, so less science and more getting, since you need 

[MikeC]

It's as heavy as insulated Carhartt hoody. No jacket is needed, if you wear, an IH Loopwheeled tee, IH Flannel and this hoody. I rock a Barbour Down Waxed Gilet over everything, if it's wicked cold.

Black medium back in stock…

G., if I wear an M CPO, would an M IHSW be a safe bet?

[Giles]

Yep

[zatenm]

Thanks for confirming. Just realised blue is out of stock. Any chance of restocking soon? Cheers

[Giles]

We are getting IHSW-07, 08 and plain restocked today.  All in Black, Navy and Red….

IHSW-07

IHSW-08

And the plain version (IHSW-10), is just, well plain….

[zatenm]

Cool, thanks. I'm assuming its the exact same hoodie, cut and fabric? (Could not find them on the site).
Might sound trivial but i do prefer the 04 print, it just strikes me as more classic and pure. Don't might waiting for a restock on these if in plan? Cheers, Z

[Giles]

There will not be a restock of the 04's. If you don't like the print on the IHSW-07 or 08, go for the IHSW-10 (plain)

[zatenm]

Thanks for all the prompt answers, G. I think I'll go with either the 07 or 08 when they are up on the site (the print is preferable to no print). Cheers, Z

Will the price remain at $275?

[Giles]

No sorry.  USD295.

Got my black IHSW-04 today! Besides everything that's been already said about this hoodie, one detail I particularly and unexpectedly fell in love with was the print.

I chose the 04 over the more recent versions because the print design itself looks more pure and classic to me and I wanted some red in there not just all white. But what I did not expect were the actual print colors in real life. Now this might sound trivial and you would not see it clearly in the pics but the print doesn't have the usual brightness you find on mainstream dark hoodies. Both the white and red look slightly dirty and aged. Not sure this was intended during design or production, but this type of white and red over black fabric in particular, gives the black IHSW-04 an added vintage vibe that I did not expect from just looking at the pics. Ditto for the front side label. It's as if someone forgot this hoodie brand new in a closet 20 years ago and I've been lucky enough to discover it. Beautiful!

Ordered M and was a bit nervous about the fit but I think it turned out very well. Shoulders, length, chest and lower body are perfect but arm length is on the limit of just right. Hopefully there wont be significant shrinkage and ideally the hoodie would stretch just a bit. Any experience on this from fellow lucky owners?

Cheers, Z

Some fit pics (sorry for the grainy low quality)

Size is M. Anyone thinks I should have gone for large? I'm asking because apparently Haraki-san wears L and I think I'm taller than he is, plus a hoody doesnt need to look snug.

Cheers, Z

Are you comfortable in it?  Looks fitted but not overly small.
