Sweatshirts (Hoodies, Crewnecks, Loopwheeled, Vintage, etc.)

i really like buzz ricksons and the real mccoys sweaters but unfortunately they are too short.the overall length is usually about 26" in xl but the chest size is gonna be around 45" which is way too big.i do however like the reigning champ sweaters.they seem to be cut a bit more slim.
does anybody have one or can recommend any heavy duty crewnecks with a moderate slim cut?

i think the vintage brand will not fits your request anymore, cuz buzz and rm got the best cut in vintage sweater, so i guess you should try some fashion brand like cdg…

comme des garcons?terrible brand imo….
i`m still hoping for IH sweaters though

[caseywisenbaker]

i love BR crewnecks.. they are super warm and they just feel incredible.. but im not very tall and the xl is perfect length on me so i see how that could be a problem for some people..i also have a MR FREEDOM mechanics sweater which i believe is the same material as BR (they are both manufactured by TOYO) and again it is amazingly comfortable and the quality is second to none..also the same size seems quite a bit longer than BR..

[SepticSef]

i`ve been eyeing that MR.F sweater for quite some time….i might have to get one after what you said

Agree with Casey, I've had both and the MF one is better for a longer torso.  If I get my correct size in BR (m) and it's way too short for me.  Have the same size in MF and it's perfecto on the torso.  Still a little short in the arms but it stretches out ok.  I would snag them while you can.  Casey probably knows better than I, but word is once the current MF stuff is gone, it's gone forever.  IE no re-runs/updates like this last season.

[caseywisenbaker]

its rad.. i mean its pretty pricey compared  to the BR but it has some nice details (the pockets, and the ribbing is much nicer)

for reference the length on a BR XL is 27 inches (sleeve length is 24.5)
and the MF  XL is 30 inches. (sleeve is 26.2)

buzz ricksons loop wheels do it for me. i also have to admit even though im not a fan of supreme, they do make really nice hoodies

[zhivago]

I recently grabbed a couple of McCoy 12oz sweatshirts and I love them.  A bit pricey for sure but ohh so nice, and clearly built to last.  I am a xxl in most IH shirts and the xl McCoy seem to fit me just fine.

brown XL is the last one left…
but i would call the MF store Tel: (323) 653 2014

last time i was in there it seemed like they had a few

[nameness]

I was in the MF store last week and they had stacks of them.  Some with the patches, some pre-faded, some plain.  Never seen the pre-faded ones before…

guillaume - check out Reigning Champ, same people (CYC) that make some Supreme stuff.  same with Wings+Horns.

[SepticSef]

is there anyone here who has size large in IH shirts that has a BR sweater?
what size did you get for BR?
@casey:thanks for the heads up!

Hi all,

Anyone got suggestions for a good quality hoodie or sweater brand?  At the moment I'm looking at the NSW Loopwheeler hoodies, if I can find anywhere that has them in stock!

My main requirements are quality and design, but I'm not keen on large branding/logos.

Suggestions welcome.

Cheers.

Or you could wait for the fabled IH loopwheeled sweats..

[madmonday]

don't think IronHeart are going to be loopwheeled hoodies, something about them not being heavy duty enough.

true story

[jacoavlu]

if it's the logo not doing it for ya
been done before

[madmonday]

how do you want it to fit and what's your budget?

[uint32]

Ah this thread is where I should have started!  A few brands which I've never heard of to look at, should keep me busy for a little while checking them out.

Anyone got experience of Headporter gear?  They have a few crewneck sweatshirts and hoodies … quality or overpriced?

[nameness]

HP is quality.
