IHSW-49-BLK - 14oz Ultra Heavyweight Loopwheel Cotton Hoodie - Black
-
Have had mine for a week or so now, these things are amazing. I ordered the previous discounted model, since I was intriquged by the shortness, fits pretty damn well, will probably scoop up another one soon, because my girlfriend has quickly taken a liking to it… she has skipped over my Camber one, and any other hoodies I would be fine with her taking possession of. Warm, soft yet structured and durable. Truly the best hoodie I have worn, I am excited to see how this wears over time and softens even more.

I'm a little confused by the info about what the crew wear on this one. Between this and the navy one, it looks like Adam C wears L, and Alex and Josh wear XXL. Adam is slightly bigger in the chest than Alex, but wearing two sizes smaller. Josh has 40lbs on Alex but is wearing the same size. @Alex are you sizing up to get the extra length because of your height?

This is now a modified version of the IHSW-49 with some added length. The post above should have been updated, so thanks for flagging this. We will get it updated today. As for me, I am afriad I have not tried one of these on yet, and am not at the office today. Happy to try one on next week if you still need me to after we post updated sizing shortly

@SKT Ive washed mine several times at 40c and there hasn’t been any shrinkage I’m afraid. There may be some mileage at higher temps/tumble drying I guess, but if not embrace the big comfy hoodie

Finally got some time to wear and take a couple of pics. I’m glad I went with large as I don’t know if I could even get a medium on [emoji23]. It’s my first loop wheel fleece and I can’t believe how thick and substantial it feels. Totally pleased yet again with Iron Heart’s quality and attention to detail. Love it.

Excellent fit.
This fabric is awesome. It took a while for IH to get the props they deserve for their cut and sewn line. I’m a huge fan.

Hi SKT, what do you mean when you say you may not be able to even get into a medium? What would make it so? It looks like there is ample room in the body and you have the cuffs rolled up a few cm’s. You look to be on tall side though (6’+?) seeing the hem at your belt. Is large preferred because you wanted a looser fit? Any info appreciated.

The fabric on these sweats is so heavy, it doesn’t stretch easily. I have a similar fit to the above pic, and it feels like a bit of a struggle to get it on and off over my head. Totally worth it, but I wouldn’t mind having a size up, even.

Hey Marvo, it’s pretty much exactly what Sabergirl said. I could have probably pulled off a medium but getting it on and off would have been problematic. I’m 5’9”, 165lbs, 41”chest and almost always wear a large in UHF and other IH shirts if that helps at all. I really am happy with this sweatshirt’s fit and can’t recommend it enough.
-
Thanks for the responses. I’m usually XL in UHF’s and L in jackets both with t shirt under (XL in the N1 with room for a thick jumper) but that’s to get adequate shoulder room & arm length…I’m probably slim & 6’, 42” chest & sort of 32” waist, 75-77kg. I have the ihsw23 hoodie but I had it taken in 4” (flat) at the waist to make it usable, but it’s loose around the arms and even though I have to squeeze my head in through the neck the hood could fit a watermelon, which after all that I do like it. I was hoping I could get into this medium 49 so I could wear it under a denim jacket without too much additional material. True the 23 doesn’t have much stretch so maybe I should get an L after all?

If you have a 23, they are essentially the same hoodie, the neck hole is just overlayed in the 49. If you had to tailor the opening on a large 23, sounds like you might prefer the fit better on a medium. If it doesn’t feel like a struggle for you to wriggle into the large, you’ll probably be fine sized down.
