@Megatron1505:

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:
