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

@riffblaster:

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.

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?

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.

@riffblaster:

This one is going to get a ton of abuse.

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

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

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.

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.

[sabergirl]

Depth is good, too. Really I just can't stand tight neck holes, which eliminates a lot of knitwear and tees from my list. These look a little looser than the 1600…Now I'm even more tempted! Thanks for the pics.

Love my XL! I wear large t-shirts. And XL button downs from IH perfectly. This is a nice fitting thermal, and comfy!

The neck hole is just right. Close enough to keep cold out but comfy.

[Jordonf9]

And loving the new tags. Beautiful

Probably a stupid question but I'll ask anyway 

I know the run-off on shirts are no problem to cut off.
Can I cut off the run-off on these without the stitching unraveling any further?
Especially at the sleeves.

[Giles]

I'm pretty sure there is a lock stitch, let me take a close look when I get into the office….

[Giles]

Yep, it's lock stitched, so no issues….

[Signal11]

Thanks Giles.

it's 22 degrees F here today and i wore this guy with only a polartec vest while i cleared snow off my roof for a few hours.  was plenty warm.  this is a GREAT piece.  @Giles if you make this in unbleached cotton i'd buy it in a hearbeat.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah buy one too. (So I can indigo dye it).@riffblaster:

Very, very small people dig on the 1700:
