IHTL-1501 - Extra Heavy Cotton Knit Crew Neck Sweater
-
SMALL RESTOCK TODAY OF L AND XXL
-
…and picked up the sole black XL. Sweet deal!
-
Yet another winner. Went with the XL (down from usual XXL) since the shoulders still hit 20". Trade-off is that its tighter through the upper chest but not uncomfortable. The sleeves seem overly tapered through the forearms and cuffs though - hopefully they will stretch out.
@Peter: Just re-read the thread and saw that you had the same forearm/cuff issue. Did yours stretch out with wear? Did it tighten up again with washing or stay looser?
-
@Manticore - Yeah they stretched pretty quickly with wear, and tighten back up whenever I wash it. I haven't thought about it since I got it though, so I guess there has been some permanent stretch as well
They were damn tight in the beginning though, and I'm no Popeye! -
Yeah, you'll have to be careful about sleeves, especially with knitwear. A lot of IH shirts have those slim fitted forearms. IIRC, it's because Haraki doesn't like getting a breeze blowing up his arms when he's riding his bike. I understand the logic, but I have Popeye syndrome, so it's caused a few purchase fails for me.
-
I love the slim fitting forearms but yeah I could see how they would be too much for some.
-
Yep, right now they feel like I'm wearing extremely tight compression sleeves on each arm!
-
Any chance of a restock on the black XL @Giles ?
-
That’s gonna leave a welt.
