IHSW-10 - Ultra Heavy Plain Loopwheeled Sweat
-
No prob re zipper on left or right for me;) left side comes from the time when women where dressed like dr Pat hinted above
From a very early historical background i read somewhere that back in the stone age men fighted with their right hand and wore their fur clothing over the left shoulder. Women wore it over the right shoulder to hold their children on the left side closer to their hearts.
Happy zippering

Zipper not really an issue… I have only used 3 times because I love the sweat so much I zip up first thing in the morning and refuse to take it off until I have to go to bed.
About the hood: I got a looser fitting sweat and the hood fits perfect. Basically from what I can tell small body=small hood and relaxed body=perfect hood. The hood is also warmer than most hats too because it is double layers of ultra heavy loop wheeled fabric. love that hood.
On the motorbike: took out the old motorbike and wore this sweat and it’s impressive how well it breaks the wind and cold. Of course some cold sneaks in threw the zipper, but surprisingly not much. Fitted arms are great, no flapping in wind + they hold in the warmth beautifully. It was a cold day, but stayed quite warm with this sweat. Overall great sweat for bikes…

Not too get off topic or anything, but I did something just for fun to match this model of sweat and thought it might interest my fellow forum goers… (Sorry, my sweatshirt made me do it)
Had a hat made from thick chunky long staple cotton yarn knit by hand on a small circular hat loom (no side seems). Had it rough washed it and boiled with onion skins for authentic natural aged look. Than brushed the inside with a brass brush until sweatshirt-like fuzziness appeared. Now it almost perfectly matches the sweatshirt and paired with the sweat is now my favorite garb for evening walks and cold days.
I’ll post more pics in the hat thread as too not clog up this thread.

Love this sweat. Wearing it over one of my Tie Dye Paul shirts, I love how the colors look with it.

I got washed mine and the collar tightened up a lot. I'm very happy with her now.
@mclain really like that tie dye underneath.
-
Thanks. Glad to hear about the collar, that's been my experience too
-
Just hope it doesn't stretch back out again
-
Mine did eventually but a wash popped it back

Anyone have any experience screen printing on these? Thoughts?
-
I was curious if it was harder to do, or required a specific process because of the weight of the fabric

@Ohighyo, my buddy has an effects pedal company, was thinking of having him put his logo on a hoodie for me.

Yessir, working at all their venues now actually. I did monitors at Park St. Saloon last weekend, and I'm at the tavern this friday.

Not quite sure where to post this, but…
I was almost certain that IH sweats were long staple cotton, but not I have proof!
This is huge; this means IH makes casual/work wear that is made of cotton that is much softer than other sweats, doesn’t break down or become limp in the washer, holds dyes well without fading, and that is much more durable (just the cotton alone will last about 40% longer than other cottons).
Same quality and staple length as jeans cotton… Let me put it this way: It’s certainly not just using the name to sell sweatshirts.Best part is Iron Heart doesn’t even need to brag, they just make the best and the quality speaks for itself.

Typical Haraki-San. Let the product speak for itself. The sweats get better and better and better with time too.
