IHF-SP - Forum Sweat Parka

@Beatle:

I have washed mine several times - no shrinkage…

Thanks. Will hone down my measurements before I vote.

Newbie question: Does voting and/or stating in the thread "size XYZ for me" actually get one saved for me to purchase when they arrive?

(Asked with full understanding that a "save me one" statement should equal a full commitment to follow through with purchase once they arrive in stock.)

[cowsareforeating]

its for giles to estimate how much of what to buy – it doesn't guarantee one nor does it bind you to a commitment.

[hectic]

cowsareforeating is correct, voting does not constitute a reserved item, nor does it mean you are irrevocably committed.

[zhivago]

These look dope, I'm thinking an xl will work for me. In most IH shirts a xxl is perfect for me but if I am understanding the sizing chart correctly I think the xl would work.  Any input from other xxl's out there would be great. Thanks

[hectic]

I'm in the same boat as you zhivago. How tall are you? Becuase it is this dimension that will be crtitical I think for us XXLs.

Nice lookin hoodie! Thinking the print might be a bit too big, but I'll probably end up getting one anyway. A bit torn on the sizing though, whether to get an XS or an S. I'm usually a size S and these seem oversized in the smaller sizes. An S will probably do fine though, cuz of the heavy material and the 6 cm difference in arm length.

[zhivago]

Thanks hectic, I am 6'1" and I was weary on the length overall. as well as sleeve length.  I'm guessing a xxl would be perfect but from what I am gathering xxl is not happening, at least on the first run, correct? Perhaps if a second run is done…G?

[hectic]

Well, I'm 6'4" so it could be a bust with the XL, still worth a try though (I guess if you are not in the UK it would be more annoying for you). I will report back as and when.

A second run with a pull-over variant would be cool….

[zhivago]

I dig the zips but hey that's just me, pull over could be cool too.  Clearly an xxl is needed IMO.

Understand, and it makes sense, that voting in the poll is to get an idea of the number of various sized pieces to order.

But then why would people feel inclined to also reply in the thread with what size they voted for?

I ask because, if possible, I would like to get one reserved, once I figure out what size I want. These are obviously going to sell well.

[hectic]

Hi jacoavlu,

The replies are just a side effect of the forum medium I think, instead of just a dry voting output we end up with a more vibrant threads that results in related discussions (see above re: XXL for example).

Experience has shown that a reservation facility did not really work that great in the real world (given the growth of the forum and the customer base).

Drop Giles a PM and I am sure he would be happy to elaborate on this.

After looking at the sizing I'm going with an xl. (if final mx stay true)

[fifediesel]

Gonna have to pass, unfortunately.  Those arms are way, way too short for a monkey man like me.  Damn shame.

[Splattered]

^^Well the shoulders are longer to make up for the short sleeves… kinda like FH shirts i'm assuming? I am trying to decide between the L and XL ... usually an L in IH shirts. Will def be getting one or the other though.

[Shanks59]

Loopwheeler?

Nothing wrong with  one of your 20 or so IH button ups sticking out the bottom a little…

[leftofthedial]

small for me!

[Giles]

No.  Haraki has not yet found a loop wheeled fabric that is heavy enough for him to be happy to use

[Beatle]

seriously - I have a loopwheeled hoodie - and not only is the IH heavier, but also more comfy…softer due to the fleece

[Guest]

No xxl?
