The Strike Gold

[Max Power]

It's on the borderline. But it's short, including the arms and when I wear the hood, it all goes looks terribly wrong.

[Seul]

Yeah - looks like you'll have to ship it to me!.. C'est la vie. Seriously though: pains me to say, but it is too small mate… Looks fucking stunning though!..

[4c]

If there is any way to stretch it… I think it should stretch I tiny bit from new, but other than that it looks just a tiny bit too short. The fabric sure does look amazing…

Did you order the largest one they have?  I've never gotten a SG sweat because the length just isn't there.

[Jordan23]

To small imo!

[Max Power]

It's an XL. So I can't size up.

[Jordan23]

Sh…! Two options left. Wearing it and hoping for a moderate stretch or selling it;)

[Chris]

The length is really what kills it.  It's too bad, because it looks like a great sweatshirt otherwise.  Strike Gold could really sell more tops if they'd make size XXL.

@Max:

Got my SG hoodie today…it is amazing, yet too small, I think. What's your opinion?

I have an XL and have the same issue with the length as you Max. I've still been wearing it,and no one has told me it looks ridiculous as yet  . Going to stick with it and see if it stretchs out a bit. My GF has been eying it off, so I'm sure she will claim it if it doesn't work out!

[Max Power]

Kiya told me I could stretch both arms and length out. i might try it, if I'm sure that it will work out. I think the short body could look good when I wear a vest over it or my Schott jacket, which is also short.

Otherwise I'll try to return or sell it. The option of a SW-10 sounds tempting, I must admit.

Thanks for all your input.

No xxl  ihsw-10od?

[Giles]

ihsw-10-od - but I have to run 1 sample first….

@Chris:

Yeah, looks a bit small to me.

this…too short in the body as well imo. 2-3 inch longer would be perfect imo.

sounds nice…hopefully the XL won't shrink too much.

[Giles]

That is why I am running a sample.  H is worried about the amount of shrinkage we will get….

The SG one isn't sanforized and is notorious for vertical shrinkage. I'm hoping the IH one won't be as bad.

[Giles]

We have one-washed the standard versions, so I'm hoping that you are right…...

I followed Kiya's advice regarding stretch - and this is what I came up with. I am pretty happy with the fit now, and things can only get better from here (some stretch in the length will occur for sure).
