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.

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.

Just to make sure: Ballpark sweatshirts are supreme, heavyweight sweatshirts, but they are not "loopwheeled" - also, Real McCoy/Joe McCoy never claimed that they are.
However, a recent addition to the Joe McCoy line is "loopwheeled" - they don't go by the Ballpark label and they are not heavyweight…Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Absolutely they get better
Nice broark go for it, the sweats get better over time.
This is my Ballpark crewneck sweatshirt with indigo stains from the ultimate indigo crocking MF indigo drover. I have it all over the place and i love it. Depending on your jeans i am pretty sure they will not bleed like that.
Dont worry too much the indigo will wash out imho

Two more Detail shots of the Ballpark heavyweight sweater
And this is my very first real sweatshirt i got some years back, very proud of this puppy. Lightweight and i love me heather grey
its a Medium as it came snugger under armpits and shorter, arms are a bit shorter too. Love this vintage inspired cut and gives such a cool fit imho

Ah Bangladesh. Man I can't stand their garment industry. One of my colleagues emigrated from there and worked in the bank on the first floor of the sweatshop that collapsed recently and killed a bunch of workers. He said they have building codes there but that they were ignored. The day before the collapse the manager of the bank saw cracks in the structure and told everyone to stay home the next day. Saved some lives. If only the garment makers gave such a damn.
