Sweatshirts (Hoodies, Crewnecks, Loopwheeled, Vintage, etc.)

Picked up some nice old sweatshirts while back… it’s about time I post them…
#1. Vintage Champion reverse weave sweat (orange). Heavy-weight, flat seemed sides… overall great beater sweatshirt for when I’m not wearing my Iron Heart sweatshirt.
#2. NOS Russell Athletics combed cotton sweat (teal). Soft combed cotton, no side seems (ring spun I assume) it says it’s guaranteed for 5 years or free replacing! Much better guarantee than Flint and tinder… ??? It’s certainly expired now, but it’s just cool to see.
There are much better sweats out there(such as loop wheeled with long fiber cotton, etc…), but these old sweats are better than most new ones, only cost a few bucks a piece, and are great to just throw around without considering damaging them … Both are American made too which is kinda cool…

I liked the American Giant hoodie enough that I got another one:

This one look any good?

If so someone should cop. -
Yea, Einstein wore loop wheeled sweats…
“Perhaps the most common pictures of Einstein from that time show him happily shuffling around his Princeton study wearing a big gray sweatshirt. Luckily for Einstein, his life coincided with the invention of the cotton sweatshirt – for he was enamored of the soft warm comfortable garment (einsteinatoz.com).”

Studies show Einstein found the sweater 'relatively comfortable'.

Not sure how I feel about short sleeved sweatshirts, but this is the real deal…

Looking for a basic grey hoodie, and kind of had my eye on the one from real mccoys. I can't find it anywhere in Europe though :/. Anyone who know somewhere which might stock them?
Advice on other, similar hoodies, to fit a relatively slim figure are also welcome
