      Thanks G,
      Quick rephrase: are they soft as hell, durable as rock, not prone to excessive pilling, get softer with wear rather than breaking down, and hold dye better than death?
      If so, they be long staple cotton. 😉

                      Thanks for the help G. 🙂
                      I have decided to buy one of these wonderful sweatshirts. The only question I have before I buy is:
                      Will you be bringing back the red one? If so I may wait till you get one in otherwise I’ll happily go for one of the other colors (I think green).

                          Shame about that red, but other colors also look great.

                          Now for the sizing… Totally new to IH sizing… new customer.

                          I am relatively thin and have really super long arms. I have a sweatshirt with 25’’ arms that seem a little too short and a sweat with arms that are like 26.5 that seem about perfect. I usually fit like a medium body, but with large arms, so I’d say I’m usually M-L. I usually just go for a 42 chest.  However, when going over the measurements the XL IH sweat it seems smaller (shorter/narrower) than even some of the size large sweatshirts I have… is that possible?

                          I don’t mind if the sweat is a little loose, I’d much rather have a slightly less fitted sweat that a tight one.
                          All that said what do you good people think? Could I be an extra large?

                                wow,

                                i'm blown away by this piece. i was worried about it being a bit short, but it's perfect. this xxl is money all the way around, now to hold myself back to not buy all three, ha.

                                if you're on the fence about this one don't be, i have the crew neck and the fleece is completely different here, both are great in their own ways but this is by far the best hoody i've ever had on.

                                bravo.

                                  I’m thinking about going all out iron heart and picking up a pair of beetle busters with my sweatshirt…. Could this be covered by the starter kit? I really want to jump on the iron heart bandwagon and this would certainly make it easier.

                                  Thanks

                                    I am afraid not, this is what the starter kit says….

                                    Buy a pair of Iron Heart or Triple Works bottoms and a long-sleeved button-up shirt or IH jacket

                                          I bought this sweatshirt a while ago but never got around to writing a review.  I'm currently at my parent's place for the holidays and have some extra time on my hands.  So here we go.

                                          Material
                                          The material is think and dense and the quality is immediately apparent.  The inside of the sweatshirt is fuzzy like a flannel.  There are no loops of thread like on some other sweatshirts (The West is Dead and Wings and Horns Terry for example).  Although the material is loopwheeled, the shirt does have side seams.  Unlike Wings and Horns, there are no triangles present where the chest meets the arms (I'm not saying this is good or bad, just different).  The ribbing in the cuffs has not stretched out at all.

                                          Fit
                                          I'm 180cm (5'11'') and 70kg (155 lbs) and wear a size M.  The chest fits me perfectly but I wouldn't complain if it were a little bit narrower.  I would prefer the shoulders to be a half an inch narrower.  The sleeves end exactly where my hand starts.  They would be perfect for a button down shirt but they could be slightly longer since this is a sweatshirt.  The shirt could definitely be an inch (maybe two) longer.  I know some others have complained about the short length and I don't understand why the IHSW-16 was made an inch shorter and the IHSW-11 two inches shorter than this shirt.  What I've described above are minor details but my major complaint with the fit is the small hood.  As seen in the picture on the right side, when the hood is worn, the entire shirt is lifted a few inches.  This look, in combination with some discomfort, makes wearing the hood impossible.

                                          Details
                                          The shirt has a YKK zipper.  I would have preferred a high-end zipper such as riri.  Similar to most generic zippers, the bottom of this zipper contains a thin piece of plastic glued to the fabric.  I've always considered this a weak point of such zippers and would prefer to have a thicker piece of plastic as seen on some riris.  The zipper is much smoother than most metal zippers but not nearly as smooth as the silky smooth teardrop riri on my Wings and Horns Terry.  There is a white Iron Heart tag on the lower left side of the shirt.  It doesn't really bother me but I would rather have it on the inside of the shirt.  The draw string from the hood hangs down about 6 inches on each side.  I find this much better than the longer strings on my West is Dead sweatshirt that have a habit of falling in my food.

                                          Summary
                                          This is a heavy, high quality sweatshirt that is one major (the hood) and a few minor improvements away from being perfect.
