      @EdH just to reiterate what others have said regarding the sizing it's going to depend on how you want to wear it.  If you bought it to layer over a T and an UHF then the size you got is perfect IMO.  However I think you should definitely size down if you are just wearing it over a long or short sleeve T shirt.

      Personally I size down on my IH hoodies….I'm an XL workshirt/UHF and I take a Large in these hoodies but I only wear them over a T shirt.  I don't buy my hoodies to layer over an UHF or anything thicker than a T...works best for my climate.

        I agree.  I size my hoodies and thermals one down from my UHF sizing.

        Don't get me wrong, it doesn't look bad.  If you're going for a cozy fit, spot-on.  If you want a more trim fit, you could size down if you're only going to wear it over a single layer (T-shirt, thermal).

        Blanket-line all the things!!!

          thanks for the wisdom @manufc10 and @Paul9221 - I haven't cut the tag off yet and am going back and forth. I'm thinking that having the L would make it more versatile as I could wear it over UHFs, jumpers, etc, but I'd also like to see what an M fitted like over the top of a UHF…

          V tempted to order the M too while there is loads of stock and compare them in person. Bank balance could probably handle it this early in the month...

          Take the dive...

            Why not order a M and return the one that you like the least?  If you're anything like me and miss the M, you're going to forever wonder if you should have sized down.

                Yep, Medium was the way to go in this hoodie for me. Comfy over a tee, snug (but not tight) over a UHF, but importantly (and I completely forgot about this consideration the other day) snug enough to allow further layering on top of the hoodie when it’s really cold.

                So basically my sizing is as follows: Tees: XL, UHFs: L, Hoodies: M. At this rate I’ll be a Small in any jackets!  😃

                    Agreed.  The Medium looks much better.

                      Thanks both.

                      Now I just need to figure out how to stop the Missus from ‘adopting’ this one…

                                New hoodie arrived. Love this thing already.

                                Think L is spot on. Cheers

                                      So true. IH is quickly taking over my closet.

                                          Picked this up in preparation for some cooler weather and I’m really happy with it. Ended up with a medium and it fits perfectly. I’m usually a large in UHF’s. Now just waiting on the mercury to drop.

                                            I wanted to snug my medium hoodie up a bit so I did a little shrink experiment. Washed on hot, heavy agitation and machine dried. Turned out perfect and actually got a little more shrinkage than I expected. Thought this might be helpful for some. Apologies for the handwriting…
