Hoodies reccomendations
-
Cool. Thanks again.
I'm right in between a L and XL in the RC I'm thinking. I think a L would fit me like your Medium does @Paul9221 (snug fit) where the XL will still fit but be more relaxed.
Yeah my black American Giant hoody is faded out a bit but to be fair I've had the thing for about 4 years. Still solid though.

See, I'm 5'10", 175lbs, 40" chest and I like the slimmer look of the medium RC. But, again, I usually don't zip them up all of the way.
Have any of you tried the heavier weight RC hoodies? I only own hoodies with this medium weight fabric.
Interesting. I figured you'd be a large in RC based on the fits you went with on your IH tops.
I'm not 100% certain but my hoodies might be heavyweight. Is there any way to know for sure with the hangtags? I believe my crewnecks are medium weight, but I honestly can't tell the difference between those and my hoodies.

I was actually just recommending Reigning Champ to a friend last night! But yeah, RC runs slim. It's a great hoodie if you're on the slim side and want to show it off, even while in a sweater. Great quality. I own 4 of their medium weight Terry hoodies.
American Giant makes some pretty durable and cost effective hoodies. They don't look as nice as the RC brands, something about the fabric just seems dull. I own a few of their classic zips.
I think the 3Sixteen option in either grey or oatmeal will be perfect for you. They're thick and not too slim and in that $150 price range. I own the grey one but don't wear it much since I picked up the Strike Gold loopwheel.

What size hoody are you in RC? I'm about to pick one up but I don't know if I should go L or XL. I'm an XL in IH westerns.
Edit: I'm also a Large in American Giant hoodies if that helps.
I'm a large in RC hoodies and crewnecks – i'm 5'11, 175lbs, 40" chest. I think RC tops fit me perfectly. Not too baggy and not too slim imo.
Hey G, do you have any fitpics of you with an RC large hoodie? I'm curious to see how it fits you, since it seems we have similar dimensions.

AG kills me with their colors. I don't know why but they always seem so faded!
I have their classic crew pull-over, and have used it countless times for my gym sweater, and after about 4 years, it's finally starting to fray at the seems. I think it should've lasted longer, but that's a pretty good run.
I also use their premium crew Ts for the gym, and man, those things are built solid! I've been using those for about 4 years as well and there's no threads coming loose or anything, and I actually work out in those, unlike the sweater. The only problem that I've encountered with those shirts is that if you let them dry in the sun, they fade badly. I always turn them inside-out when I leave them out there so thankfully it only shows on the inside.

You know, I might've fit a large just fine. That's why I'd love to see a fitpic of someone with my build with a large RC hoodie. I actually like the slim fit and I don't think it's too tight. When I want a bigger fit, I go with my IH hoodies.
Honestly, not sure how to check what kind they are. I just tried to log into their site to ensure that I had ordered the medium weight terry, but they seem to have lost my account? Shrug.

FWIW I think the Medium looks great on you.

Quick fit pic. I tried uploading more pics of my grey hoodie but was having issues again with Tapatalk. My grey hoodie is from 2-3 yrs ago and has a one way zip. My green hoodie is from last year and has a 2 way zip. I’m assuming the 2 way zip is standard now with all their hoodies

cheers, fellas
@manufc10 It's possible size large would work for you. Of course, there will be variances between the hoodies and crewnecks so you may have to try it first and then decide. Both of my hoodies fit the same. I have 2 terry crewnecks that fit the same but I also have a tiger fleece crewneck and it feels slightly bigger than than my crewnecks (longer sleeves and body length). I could probably get some shrink out of the tiger fleece if I chucked it in the dryer after washing but i'm always afraid of too much shrinkage.

I went with a Large so we'll find out in a few days. Thanks for the input.

The Large Reigning Champ hoody worked out perfect for me. I prefer these over the American Giants. American Giants are nice and have a heavier/warmer fabric I think but the fit on the RC's are better for me and the midweight is still warm. The hoods on the AG's are also huge which I'm not a huge fan of.
Does RC make a heavyweight hoody as well?

Glad it worked out for you. I like RC's stuff because their tops have a more athletic fit. Need Supply has a heavyweight pullover hoodie but their zip up core hoodies are midweight: https://needsupply.com/mens/brands/reigning-champ/heavyweight-terry-pullover-hoodie-in-black.html. Don't know if there's a heavyweight zip up hoodie
