if he did, or didn't, why should Gav answer here, if it were a private message?
it is not my business, but you have posed it here in the open forum, would your question to Gav not more appropriately be handled by private message to him?

I need a plain/ minimal branded black hoodie, no zip front, good quality, doesn't have to be super heavy. I looked (again) at the Momotaro "Going to battle" hoodies again, but a 20" p to p measurement on an XL is just ridiculous. Any suggestions?

All I could think of

Try these from SweatshirtsUSA.  I have a couple and they're an excellent value.  You'll need a proxy, but I'm here if you're interested.

Why not Carhartt, Mega?  If I had to chose anything cheaper than IH for hoodies, it'd def be Carhartt.

American Giant is good quality, not sure if they ship internationally though Gav

[urbanwoodsman]

I was going to suggest American Giant but they are nearly sold out of everything they carry. I actually have a 50% off coupon that I can't even use. I got it as a result of my last order with them. They ran out of a few things I ordered and shipped me some wrong items. Very nice company but I think they blew up and couldn't handle the volume.

Guys, thank you all very much. I actually found a Momo hoody that would fit, just need someone to buy my SB Vest now 

If not, I'm going to go with Mike's Carharrt suggestion I think. Carharrt often get forgotten over here, as they market very differently in Europe to how they do it in the US.

You found a Momotaro hoody that fit?  That's great, but what is it, XXXXXXL?  Seriously- Momotaro has the most ridiculously Lilliputian sizing ever.  I'd love a Momo hoody (or even tee shirt), but I can't find anything big enough.  And if it fits you, it should fit me, so…

[Megatron1505]

Well, the pit to pit is 22.55", my IH hoodie and my Supreme hoody are both 23 and 24" respectively and both fit with a little extra room…..so I'm taking a leap of faith.

I would love to give you the link, but there is 1 in stock, and I want it 

[MikeC]

That's gonna be cutting it close, Gav.  I hope the length is good too.

[Megatron1505]

Screw it man, I need a reason to stop being a fatty 

[Chris]

Yeah, that's right on the borderline.  I've been burned by taking that same leap of faith.

As you know, since I unloaded a so-called "XL" on you back in October…

[Megatron1505]

That became my cousins Christmas present, I have now ordered an XXL in the Going to Battle tee.

[Chris]

You found a XXL?  So that would be about a Large in normal sizes, right?

[Megatron1505]

No idea until it arrives, but the measurements look fine (23" pit to pit, 27" length), plus it was £30 so no great shakes.

^ what? where from? ???

[supersalami]

has anyone tried adding rivets to their jeans for suspenders? i don't want all my current jeans to go to waste, and plus, i can't afford another, so i was thinking of just getting some rivets and doing them myself. but i'm not very sure where i can get such rivets from..

[Finn666]

^ you´d need some extra buttons mate, so you that you´re able to add the suspenders. i already heard of someone who did it, gonna see if i can find that post! give me a few minutes/hours!

[Giles]

It's easy.  And you don't want rivets, you need small buttons. (best) or ordinary waist size buttons (second best)  Check out eBay for a selection:
