IHTL-1700 - Extra Heavy Cotton Knit Crew Neck Thermal Sweater

[Madame Buttonfly]

@Dion:

Do you think this fabric is as stretchy as the one from IHTL-1213/1301?

@Dion - no I don't think it is, it obviously has a fair amount of stretch but doesn't move/give as easily as the 1213/1301 fabric.  I didn't try one on, @Sam did so let's see if he agrees.

@Dion Yeah i agree. That's one of the first things i said to Giles. Because it's a heavier knit it seems like it'll hold its shape.

[Dion]

Thank you, Madame Buttonfly and Sam!

Making me want it more.

Me too - I'd wear it as a sweater…

I am definitely going to pick up one of these as soon as I can.

THIS THING IS AWESOME.  I got mine yesterday…. couldn't believe how heavy it was.  Makes the last batch of IH thermals look like tshirts.  This one is going to get a ton of use.  If you like to wear thermal shirts don't sleep on this.  It'll be a staple.

This one is going to get a ton of abuse.

I would jump all over this but I've already got two black IH thermals and one black 1501 so I don't see a need for another black thermal/sweatshirt.  I think I know the answer to this already…. ;)... but I'll ask anyways, is the 1700 different enough from the "regular" IH thermals and 1501 to justify another black cut and sewn item my closet?

I don't have the above issue so I'll pulled the trigger on one of these and it should be here this week. Super excited and hope the weather stays cool enough for the next few weeks to get some wear on it! Really excited about getting my first non-button-up from IH.

it's totally different.  i also own the other thermals.  this one is way more substantial and feels way more tough.  I feel like overall it's going to hold it's shape better than the others as well.

thanks for the correction @Giles !

Just picked up the black XL. It is a classic.

It sits well with the IHJ-48.

Would love to see one of these in an army olive colour-way.

I just did a quick audit and found out I have the 1213 in black, the 1501 in black and the 1600 in black… but not the 1301! Based on your reasoning that means I can have one of these, no? Too late anyway, just ordered one 

[sabergirl]

Can someone who owns an IH henley and this do a comparison for me with the collar buttoned on the henley? I am hoping the neck might be a little wider and more relaxed.

@sabergirl I can do a comparison shot for you. Can you tell me which sizes so i can be accurate for you

[sabergirl]

I have a small in the henley. But would love to see small and medium, if you have the time! Thanks, Sam.

[Sam]

I'll squeeze it in. About to head into the studio now. So a Small henley next to a small and medium IHTL-1700?
@sabergirl

[sabergirl]

That would be amazing, Sam. Thank you, so much.

[Sam]

Apologies for the lack of editing @sabergirl …

I think the biggest difference is the depth of the neck hole rather than the width but they do have a good bit of stretch in the neck hole. Hope this helps.
