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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

@nameness:

I like a fitted top which isn't too baggy.  Something with a little style or small detailing is always nice.

My budget is anywhere up to £150ish quid, maybe a little more as long as I'm buying quality and not a label.

[nameness]

depending on your body type, check out Reigning Champ & Wings+Horns.  if you need something that's cut a bit wider i can find other stuff for you.

http://havenshop.ca is a decent place to start though it looks like they're about to get the new season in.

[uint32]

Thanks for the link, plenty more for me to look through!

[uint32]

Well, after a few hours of checking out the links and pics from this thread I end up buying …. a tanner goods belt!    At some point this evening my browsing went off on a tangent but no problem as my IHs are badly in need of a good belt and I have a week or two left before Scotland starts freezing over.

Anyway, thanks for the links.  There is a shop not too far away which has some Headporter Plus gear so I'm going to go check it out this weekend, will also let me get the perfect sizing if I like what I see.

Thanks,
uint.

Any skinny guys out there can help me with sizing of a Reigning Champ crewneck?
