      @jordanscollected I truly don't know the answer to your question, but I presume that the sweat fabric is loomed like any other, then sent to a factory to be sewn into garments. At that point, the ribbed cuffs would be sewn and attached to the sleeves. Sorry, I cannot be more useful, I have not been to the factory that makes our sweats, nor seen the fabric being woven.

      And, no, that is not something that we have considered. I do understand you're issue, and I guess this is on something like the 1501s, but were designed to be worn as base layers, so I suspect the tight cuff is a design feature, rather than a 'flaw'.

        They come out of the wash with the perfect tightness (sweatshirt cuff), but they stretch upon wear especially if I pull the sleeves up on the forearms, and then they stay stretched and can fall down on the hands and over the watch.

        Can confirm that this also happens with my 1301 and can be annoying if worn as the main layer rather than as a base layer.

            @jordanscollected @cityofdelusion Isn't the cuff thing because IH tops are pure cotton with no elastic? So once the cuff is stretched out, it mostly retains that stretch until you next wash it.

            Personally I prefer the pure-cotton IH cuffs for the longevity (compared to an elasticated cuff) but I have experienced this issue with the cuffs not returning to your wrist size if you've pulled them up your forearms and know what you're talking about.

            Take the dive...

              @EdH thats exactly the reason. 100% pure cotton. I started my “nice quality sweatshirt” journey with American Giant. I like the fabric of the Iron Heart more, but I wish there was some elastic in the cuffs like the AG. I want them to spring back into shape.

                                I'd be surprised if this hadn't been asked before, but my search did not yield answers...

                                What is the origin story of the Winged Bell logo? Does it represent something particular, or is it just a cool looking design?

                                  I'll check with H, but the bell is a very all-American image. It was the logo of Bell Atlantic, why the wings, I can only guess.....

                                          I don’t have any, so I can’t speak for to their quality, but I seem to remember SJ producing tank tops.
