IHF-SP - Forum Sweat Parka

[hectic]

Well, I'm 6'4" so it could be a bust with the XL, still worth a try though (I guess if you are not in the UK it would be more annoying for you). I will report back as and when.

A second run with a pull-over variant would be cool….

[zhivago]

I dig the zips but hey that's just me, pull over could be cool too.  Clearly an xxl is needed IMO.

@hectic:

cowsareforeating is correct, voting does not constitute a reserved item, nor does it mean you are irrevocably committed.

Understand, and it makes sense, that voting in the poll is to get an idea of the number of various sized pieces to order.

But then why would people feel inclined to also reply in the thread with what size they voted for?

I ask because, if possible, I would like to get one reserved, once I figure out what size I want. These are obviously going to sell well.

[hectic]

Hi jacoavlu,

The replies are just a side effect of the forum medium I think, instead of just a dry voting output we end up with a more vibrant threads that results in related discussions (see above re: XXL for example).

Experience has shown that a reservation facility did not really work that great in the real world (given the growth of the forum and the customer base).

Drop Giles a PM and I am sure he would be happy to elaborate on this.

After looking at the sizing I'm going with an xl. (if final mx stay true)

[fifediesel]

Gonna have to pass, unfortunately.  Those arms are way, way too short for a monkey man like me.  Damn shame.

[Splattered]

^^Well the shoulders are longer to make up for the short sleeves… kinda like FH shirts i'm assuming? I am trying to decide between the L and XL ... usually an L in IH shirts. Will def be getting one or the other though.

Loopwheeler?

@zhivago:

Thanks hectic, I am 6'1" and I was weary on the length overall.

Nothing wrong with  one of your 20 or so IH button ups sticking out the bottom a little…

[leftofthedial]

small for me!

[Giles]

No.  Haraki has not yet found a loop wheeled fabric that is heavy enough for him to be happy to use

[Beatle]

seriously - I have a loopwheeled hoodie - and not only is the IH heavier, but also more comfy…softer due to the fleece

[Guest]

No xxl?

[Giles]

DS.  No I am afraid not.  I thought we would be able to do, but no.  G

@jacoavlu:

Newbie question: Does voting and/or stating in the thread "size XYZ for me" actually get one saved for me to purchase when they arrive?

(Asked with full understanding that a "save me one" statement should equal a full commitment to follow through with purchase once they arrive in stock.)

Voting does not constitute a commitment - it is merely so that I can get a resonably accurate guesstimate of how many to order.

Posting in the thread saying "I want an L", also does not constitute a commitment, but is will annoy me if the poster does not buy.  In the case of these sweats, if I end up some left in stock, it will not be the end of the world, as i am sure they will sell.

But at the margin, if I order 50 of something because there have been 50 votes and I only actually sell 20, then my cost base goes up and guess what?  A) I have to raise the prices of everything to cover that shortfall and I probably won't do it again.

So yes, no commitment, but I do ask for a mature approach to voting and posting…..

i realize this is probably way too late but i just had a thought that might help those of us who wanted a hoodie with no print as well as those who did.

what if the hoodie was embroidered on the breast like the cpo jackets?  the embroidery could be removed without harm to the garment.  plus the embroidery would just look bad ass on a sweatshirt.

too little too late probably but i figured i'd throw this out there.  maybe it could be a cool idea for the future.

[rocket]

I would vote for this as well, but I don't think that the embroidery could be removed without harm to the garment, since the CPO Jacket is out of wool…

[Giles]

Riff, great idea.  I will check if possible.  romoving the embroidery from the CPO is easy becaus wave of the wool.  Just not sure if poss with sweat material….......

[riffblaster general]

awesome!  even if it can't be removed i think the embroidery would look great regardless.

[rocket]

sounds good, alternative would it be possible to make the hoody plain with only the"W" embroidered on the arm and to include a patch with the logo to sewn on for those who like?
