IHTL-1700 - Extra Heavy Cotton Knit Crew Neck Thermal Sweater
-
I seem to be an odd case here: Wearing xxl in almost all shirts (xxxl if I want to go shacket-style).
An XL in the 1700 is a Perfect trim fit! Can even wear a tshirt underneath.
So I went down here!Also wearing XL in the 1301 waffle thermals, but could definitely size down to L there! Hell yeah, they stretch.
-
Thanks @weftyarn I'll keep that in consideration

Does this one stretch like the 1301? If somebody has any experience with this knit please give me some feedback. I have the 1301 in xxl and it fits because the material streches. If i go by mearuments without stretch it aint gonna cut it.

It is a waffle knit… but a different one to the 1301. It is heavier and thicker. It will stretch, but not quite as much as the IHTL-1301.

@yannis The 1301 does stretch a lot more!! This 1700 fabric has way more heft and density to it. It still has a certain amount of stretch, but I’d definitely not count on it to achieve a desired fit.
As said above, an XL 1700 fits me perfectly snug even after days of wear, whereas the XL 1301 starts out snug straight from the washer and quickly stretches to a more lose fit within hours of wear.
Hope this helps.

Thanks guys. I just ordered it in gray. The grey has a 25 inch p2p according to the meautement table vs the black that has 24 inch p2p. I would of prefered the black but the 24 inch p2p scared me. Thank you both for the quick feedback.

…peeking out underneath my UHF.
...super cozy combo!
-
Awesome @vaquero357
That combo is truly made for the next ice age, though. I pull it off, when it’s freezing cold outside but I still want to show everyone that fekkin UHF
No need for another layer…
-
Hmmm… @vaquero357 looks to be on to something
Maybe I should stop wearing my UHFs so trim I could never get that thermal under there

Any restock on those? I am looking for a 2xl
-
So I’m not sure which size to buy. I wear a XXL in UHFs. The XL looks good in the chest but the sleeves seem kinda short. The XXL has 20” shoulders like my UHFs and longer sleeves. I’ve read on this thread that people size down and some size up. I was hoping to get some opinions please
-
I size down on these. Normally, I wear XL in UHF and denim shirts. I wear L in these and the IHTL-1301. For reference, I have longer than average arms and I don't find sizing down on either thermal style to be a problem.
I suppose it depends what type of fit you are looking for. In thermals, I prefer more of a fitted look versus loose. Sizing down isn't a tight fit for me, but it isn't loose either.
Last point, these do have a little give/stretch to them. Not as much as the 1301, however there is some.
