    @holla:

    @urbanwoodsman:

    ….

    …. The looms from the 60’s and 70’s that created these superior pieces where these pieces came from were all bought out by Japanese companies, ....

    I read this type of comment every know and then, but have seen little evidence so far other than show pieces in museums.
    Japanese machinery from the 40's onward was initially copied but almost exclusively Japan made. What we see in Japan since the 80's and 90's is well preserved Japanese machinery when it comes to knitting machines and shuttle looms.
    Now old sewing and spinning machines that might be slightly different…

          Haha, nice. Well my only concern is that the W+H comes in XL and the Workaday only goes up to L. Do you think the L will fit me? Have you ever tried one on? I've only seen one in person and it was a small.  😞

            Large would fit me a tad roomy so I assumi it would fit you. Thing is, it wil eventually shrink and then it won't fit. I would just go with the W&H then.

                  Sleeve length is good, too, which is important to me.  I hate sleeves that can't make it past my wrists.  I also like loose fitting hoodies, so I generally buy the largest size possible.  I'd say get your usual size if you want a cleaner fit, size up to get a loose on

                          Well, I just got my first really nice sweatshirt (IHSW-10)… so now that I know how wonderful sweatshirts can be I’m wondering what else is out there…

                          Basically what I am looking for is very thick fluffy sweatshirts that would be about as soft or softer than my IHSW-10.

                          Any suggestions would be appreciated.

                            Strike Gold makes a killer fleece. It's a bit different than IH, a bit more rigid but extremely heavy and soft.

                            Think it, be it.

                                Thanks guys!
                                I’ve been looking at these brands and I defiantly see these sweatshirts in my future…

                                I have also recently found a sweatshirt that looks pretty nice it’s called Joe McCoy (related to real mccoy?). There is new sweat in my size at a pretty good savings ($165) I’m looking at… The seller who is also selling a couple of strike gold sweats says: “I owned and have owned every brand of loop wheeled sweatshirts, buzz rickson, strike gold, dubbleworks, deluxe ware, cushman, whitesville, two moons, samurai, full count, Phigvel, beams Plus, etc…etc.. None of the above compare in terms of weight, feel, construction, of the Joe Mccoy Ballpark sweatshirt.”

                                Not sure how good this one really is so I just thought I’d ask you good folks. Ever heard of Joe McCoy 12oz Ballpark sweatshirt?

                                  Joe mccoy ballpark belongs to the real mccoy's. Look over in the real mccoys thread. Very nice heavyweight fabric, deadstock talon zipper on the hoodie etc. quality and attention to details are outstanding.

                                  Some fit pics here from maxpower and myself

                                  Flash also wears his ballpark hoodie in the waywt thread in other brands

                                  The Ballpark heavyweight crewneck Sweatshirt itself is great too look over in the RMC thread you'll see some pics there too.

                                    My top two that I own are Real McCoys and Strike Gold. I like the fit of the RMC ballpark sweat a bit more than the Strike Gold sweat I have mainly because of the body length but they're both great.

                                        I am curious to hear a comparison between the Joe McCoy's Ballpark sweats vs. the Iron Heart Loopwheeled sweats.  I've never experienced the McCoy, but the IHs are fantastic and I can't imagine the McCoys being any better.  There are lots of people that say McCoy makes some of the best sweats around, so if anyone has experience with both, I would love to hear impressions.  Thanks, in advance.

                                        BTW, both of those look great, davito.

                                          Sean contact Foxy or see his review over at Sufu in the Sweatshirt thread i believe it was before xmas, very good review of him there between a IH and a realmccoy sweater (not the Ballpark though)

                                          Thank u
