Hoodies reccomendations
-
Cool. Thanks again.
I'm right in between a L and XL in the RC I'm thinking. I think a L would fit me like your Medium does @Paul9221 (snug fit) where the XL will still fit but be more relaxed.
Yeah my black American Giant hoody is faded out a bit but to be fair I've had the thing for about 4 years. Still solid though.
AG kills me with their colors. I don't know why but they always seem so faded!
I have their classic crew pull-over, and have used it countless times for my gym sweater, and after about 4 years, it's finally starting to fray at the seems. I think it should've lasted longer, but that's a pretty good run.
I also use their premium crew Ts for the gym, and man, those things are built solid! I've been using those for about 4 years as well and there's no threads coming loose or anything, and I actually work out in those, unlike the sweater. The only problem that I've encountered with those shirts is that if you let them dry in the sun, they fade badly. I always turn them inside-out when I leave them out there so thankfully it only shows on the inside.

Interesting. I figured you'd be a large in RC based on the fits you went with on your IH tops.
I'm not 100% certain but my hoodies might be heavyweight. Is there any way to know for sure with the hangtags? I believe my crewnecks are medium weight, but I honestly can't tell the difference between those and my hoodies.
You know, I might've fit a large just fine. That's why I'd love to see a fitpic of someone with my build with a large RC hoodie. I actually like the slim fit and I don't think it's too tight. When I want a bigger fit, I go with my IH hoodies.
Honestly, not sure how to check what kind they are. I just tried to log into their site to ensure that I had ordered the medium weight terry, but they seem to have lost my account? Shrug.

FWIW I think the Medium looks great on you.

@Paul9221:
Hey G, do you have any fitpics of you with an RC large hoodie? I'm curious to see how it fits you, since it seems we have similar dimensions.Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Quick fit pic. I tried uploading more pics of my grey hoodie but was having issues again with Tapatalk. My grey hoodie is from 2-3 yrs ago and has a one way zip. My green hoodie is from last year and has a 2 way zip. I’m assuming the 2 way zip is standard now with all their hoodies

Thanks! Is that the olive one? If so, I have that one, too!

cheers, fellas
@manufc10 It's possible size large would work for you. Of course, there will be variances between the hoodies and crewnecks so you may have to try it first and then decide. Both of my hoodies fit the same. I have 2 terry crewnecks that fit the same but I also have a tiger fleece crewneck and it feels slightly bigger than than my crewnecks (longer sleeves and body length). I could probably get some shrink out of the tiger fleece if I chucked it in the dryer after washing but i'm always afraid of too much shrinkage.

I went with a Large so we'll find out in a few days. Thanks for the input.

The Large Reigning Champ hoody worked out perfect for me. I prefer these over the American Giants. American Giants are nice and have a heavier/warmer fabric I think but the fit on the RC's are better for me and the midweight is still warm. The hoods on the AG's are also huge which I'm not a huge fan of.
Does RC make a heavyweight hoody as well?

Glad it worked out for you. I like RC's stuff because their tops have a more athletic fit. Need Supply has a heavyweight pullover hoodie but their zip up core hoodies are midweight: https://needsupply.com/mens/brands/reigning-champ/heavyweight-terry-pullover-hoodie-in-black.html. Don't know if there's a heavyweight zip up hoodie

Do either of you own any 3sixteen hoodies? Been wanting to try one out but unsure of sizing and the fit when compared to RC

I'd guess you'd be nice and fitted in a large and comfy baggy in an xl. You can check out witheredfig's site where Richard has fit pics and model stats.
I like the fit of my Larges and stoked on the talk of an indigo release!
