IHSW-04 - Super Heavy Printed Hoody

[zatenm]

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.

[zatenm]

I'm very comfortable as long as I dont wear a thick layer underneath. Also arms length is on the limit. Any shrinkage and it might become short on the arms. If it stretches even just a bit with wear, it'll be perfect. What do you think?

looks good when worn with just a t and under your duck jacket imo…might be too small though when wearing anything heavier underneath! if you feel comfortable, it's perfect...

Not sure about shrinkage, if you're layering then you shouldn't have too many washes to worry about… but I guess it depends on what you want to layer under it.

Description doesn't say if its one-washed or not... have always wondered the shrinkage

[scroogen]

It doesn't shrink much… my guess is that they come with one wash.  I think mine shrank the tiniest bit after a few washes

[Flash]

Don't know if this has been talked about before ( if so sorry for bring a dead question up ) but why do the hoodys have side seams ? Is so they can be made in larger sizes ?

G. should I expect some noticeable shrinkage on the IHSW-04? Will it stretch a bit with wear? Cheers, Z

[Giles]

You should get no shrinkage (or at least very little), they have been one-washed.  Re: stretching, I don't know, I don't wear one.  Anyone help?

[Finn666]

hmmm, hard to say…the SW-02 does always shrink a tiny bit when fresh out of the washer but it always stretches back to "normal"! so you should be good and expect the hoodie to fit the same (with a few minutes/hours of wear) right after the wash as it fitted in first place...

Thanks for all the feedback, guys! Will keep the M. Planning to wear a jacket on top as Finn suggested

Was wondering if anyone who owns a buzz rickson sweatshirt and a IHSW-04 hoody can tell me if the hoody loopwheeled material is as soft/comfortable as buzz rickson's loopwheeled fabric? I love my buzz rickson and its def the most comfortable sweatshirt i have.  I know both are loop wheeled, but wasn't sure how IH loopwheeled material is. Thanks.
