IHSW-49-BLK - 14oz Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel Fleece Lined Hoodie - Black

[Marvo]

Thanks for the responses. I’m usually XL in UHF’s and L in jackets both with t shirt under (XL in the N1 with room for a thick jumper) but that’s to get adequate shoulder room & arm length…I’m probably slim & 6’, 42” chest & sort of 32” waist, 75-77kg. I have the ihsw23 hoodie but I had it taken in 4” (flat) at the waist to make it usable, but it’s loose around the arms and even though I have to squeeze my head in through the neck the hood could fit a watermelon, which after all that I do like it. I was hoping I could get into this medium 49 so I could wear it under a denim jacket without too much additional material. True the 23 doesn’t have much stretch so maybe I should get an L after all?

If you have a 23, they are essentially the same hoodie, the neck hole is just overlayed in the 49.  If you had to tailor the opening on a large 23, sounds like you might prefer the fit better on a medium. If it doesn’t feel like a struggle for you to wriggle into the large, you’ll probably be fine sized down.

I bought the burgundy version in large, mainly because the body length of the of the large ihsw-23 measures about the same as the medium 49 (66cm on the 23 feels too short for me at the back - sometimes feels like it rides up over the belt line allowing air in). If the medium armhole is cut higher up, as I think it may be, I think it will tend to ride up higher making the back length feel shorter than the 23, even though the back measurements are the same. I should receive the burgundy in a few days. I've got a Strike Gold hoodie slightly smaller cut than the 23 but has a back length of 69cm which works well for me.

I read somewhere that the new hoodies are a little longer in length than the previous batch. Is there any truth to it.

That is the case. A large used to be around 64”.  Now they are 4-5” longer.

That is Cms not Inches

Probably a dumb question but I’ve never let that stop me…should I turn this inside out when laundering?

[Kasi]

That up to you….

Probably make no difference

Thanks Kasi

I agree

I washed my 23 recently.  I usually wash IH stuff inside out but for some reason neglected to this time.  No effects, ill or otherwise.

[SKT]

Thank you guys. I was wondering about any marks from leaving it right side out and I want it to stay dark black if I can. It’s like black hole black right now.

[Matt]

No marks or pilling.  You should be good.  I wash my IH gear individually so I can’t speak for washing with other items.

Is there a ballpark ETA for restock?

I know these are "heavyweight" but do you guys think this could be worn under a jacket or just too thick? I guess it sort of depends on how big the jacket would be and how tight the jumper is.  I was thinking of trying to wear under my lefty trucker.

[sabergirl]

I wear mine under a jacket all the time! I have a M in this, and my IH type IIIs are all 38-40.
