@Chibs WL is all awesome. The IH of sweats.

I nearly pulled the trigger on that exact one but I have the zipped in Navy in the same fabric so went for the Foxfleece - obviously lighter but very very nice also.

Been wearing their Ts and recommend all of them (Double heavy weight, ultimate pima and the fox ones).

@Chibs Now that looks great. Thats the fox fiber one? I tried a double heavy sweat on a while ago and it was the first and only time I felt like a garment was just too heavy. Like, i could tell immediately there would be very little opportunity for me to wear it.

@tenuin It is the double heavyweight french terry. Heavy? Yes, but it’s not too warm @ room temp which makes me scratch my head. Wore it 1°C with a type 3 over and later just by its self and I was comfortable. I need to figure this thing out.

@tenuin Wear mine all the time. V. heavy in hand but feels great to wear

@Chibs Looks fantastic. Always wanted to try a heavy weight WL hoodie, but the cost is eye watering and just prices it out of range for me.

[Chibs]

@stitchdown.shell thanks man! Expensive for sure but as soon as I tried it on I was like “Where have you been all my life?” Remain strong and don’t try it on!

@Chibs Congratulations it’s a beauty

I own this in a zip version (had to have the Waldes zipper). I totally agree with you in that it’s HEAVY but not particularly warm. My IH ZIP is much warmer feeling, maybe due to the more “fleeced” interior and tighter sleeves.

Regardless the WL has its place

@Brandrea I laboured back-and-forth on whether to get the zip or not. They were both in stock. Langton (owner) said he prefers to layer a jacket over the regular hoodie as it looks cleaner. I had never thought of it that way and since my IH hoodie has a zip and I didn’t feel trapped by something that felt too warm, that’s what I went with. Langton also said their zippered hoodies outsell regular ones 3 to 1. He was super nice btw. That was my first time at Gerhard. Great shop! I remember you mentioning them earlier when we were talking about that ridiculously expensive hoodie.

@Chibs

He’s is SUPER nice and always gives great advice. Glad you had a chance to visit his shop. Just be careful, he’ll empty your wallet

[Chibs]

@Brandrea totally. He had me trying on N&F jeans even though I explained I would not be buying em. I made a comment to my friend about how they don’t fit me properly and he was like “challenge accepted”
