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

[IH-GARY]

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.

@manufc10:

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 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.

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:

[manufc10]

looks great @neph93 and congratulations.  What size did you go with on this one?

[neph93]

XL for closer fit. It looks a bit funky in the photo but it actually sits very well. The length and thickness is perfect for a sweater. It's a great bit og kit and entirely different to the other waffle knit thermals.
