@edgarallanpoe so glad you like it! Did you go with the double heavy weight French Terry?

I have two of these hoodies, (have to sell one in large).

I recently bought the DHW sweat pants as well. When you’re wearing the, with the hoodie it’s like you’re wrapped in a horse blanket lol

Yup...in a dark green. It's beautiful. Thanks for your help with this.

What’s the fit like on the pants @Brandrea ? Measurements look oddly slim through the hips and thighs. My crewneck double heavyweight doesn’t feel like it has a lot of stretch. I would love some pants, but the measurements of the thigh really give me pause.

Here are pics of some of the things I was referring to in my earlier post. The green is the Wl and the red is the IH. You can see the difference in the width of the sleeves...this is a huge one for me. I'm not a fan of the modern, more tailored sleeves. The WL material is a slightly looser weave and as such has a little more character in the material. However, the IH tight weave is a much more refined look and is beautiful in its own right. The interior is really where these two diverge...the WL is an old school vintage US 1940-60s feel and the IH is insanely soft and comfortable.

@sabergirl they fit me really well but I realize fit is quite subjective …

For reference, I’m usually a 34 or a 35 in IH 21 oz 634 or 666’s. I took a large on the sweat pants and they are just perfect. They sort of hang off my hips but are nice and roomy through the thighs and hips.

Initially, I ordered XL based on the measurements, but they way to large in the waist … the elastic band did nothing and without the drawstring they almost fell to the floor.

I’m not sure why using the measurements didn’t work the same as they should with IH clothing as it appears they measure the same way ….

Hmmm thanks for that! I expect I may be able to do XL after all. Wasn’t sure if XXL would even fit. Now I’m even more confused

@edgarallanpoe great summary and comparison. It’s nice to have both fits IMO. The trim fit of the IH is much easier to layer under a jacket but overall comfort goes to the WL (at least for me).

@sabergirl yes, the measurements made me think the XL would be perfect.

In IH denim I like a waist at 35.5” or as close to as possible. I figured that’d be an XL in the WL, but as mentioned, they almost fell to the floor without cinching the waist tie tight.

The L come in at 33.8” and they appear to measure the same way as IH. I guess maybe because th waist has a lot of stretch it works. I’d say the thighs and hips are more generous than my 634’s. At least they feel that way.

If you have a local retailer it might be best to try them on first. Good luck!!
