@Stuart.T:

Personally, I am just a customer of Iron Heart, and never feel the need to be a sycophant.

I do hope I’m reading this wrong and you’re not  implying that anyone here is a sycophant just because they don’t hold the lack of side seams in the same regard as you do. I would consider that exceptionally short sighted, not to mention rude.

[Stuart.T]

I am not implying that people with differing opinions in this thread are sycophants. I should wait for a counterbalance of views.

Thank you for the clarification @Stuart.T , I appreciate it.

I personally prefer loopwheeled stuff without any side seams as it adds to the aesthetics of any item and also to the comfort. Not many do loopwheeled stuff but everyone does side seams, so I'm also not a fan of loopwheeled items that do have side seams like everything else despite being made in the difficult manufacturing process. The fabric might be nice but deprived of one of its biggest benefits: the tubular construction.
I also tried this jumper in grey and although the fit was pretty decent and the fabric nice I wasn't feeling it overall (especially the seams - not only on the sides). It was an XXL and at that time I had another heavy loopwheeled sweater from SDA in XL to compare against. The XL had bigger measurements (chest, length etc.), a softer yet heavier feel and no side seams. EDIT: There was the IHSW-06 once which was made of the heavy Wakayama loopwheeled fleece and it went up to XL with no side seams.
Another point is that there have been already quite heavy 5,5 oz Triple Works T-Shirts that went up to XXL and had no side seams in all sizes (e.g. TWT-1401, TWT-1402 & TWT-1403). Would've loved to have the IHT-1610 without any side seams in every size (although I'm wearing an L that has no side seams in them).

I have always understood the purpose of cutting the loopwheel body and resewing was to alter the fit from the tube it starts out as which is seen as an improvement by many (no Iron Heart) brands

When I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and my comment was way out of line. Sorry folks.

[Stuart.T]

I can see that. It would provide the ability to have a slight taper through the body, which is desirable to some for sure. Being a bit more chunky but funky, I can appreciate a full loopwheel sweat, as long as the hem has a bit of elasticity.

All I know is… I need that god-damn minty fresh new'un...

Hi - if I’m a size Medium generally, should I size down for this? The chest looks quite generous but the shoulder looks like a typical M dimension…

Depends on your height and what you take M in. I took an XL in this and I wear XL in shirts. I couldn't have gone down a size because it would have been way too short. I recommend checking length.

Thanks @neph93. Basically shoulder, length are both perfect. Sleeve is slightly long…but it’s IH so that’s to be expected. The chest is about an inch wider than my usual but I think that’s just the relaxed cut...prob the only thing I wasn’t sure about....

[neph93]

Pretty much the same for me. It is a sweatshirt after all.
