Has this material ever been released as a hooded sweat?

I just received one of these last week!

I absolutely LOVE this thing.  It's extremely robust and luxurious feeling (all in one) if that makes sense.

I realize it may look a bit large on me.  I went with the XL as the large is sold out.  I'm 6'2, 175 lbs, 42" chest and ape(ish) long arms.

Any plans for restock?

I wish….

So. I asked once if this material had ever been used to make a hoodie, and Giles said no. Welp, I am wearing a medium windproof/waterproof technical hoodie that I got from Japan—and it’s crazy-good.

This pic also looks crazed—but at least it shows the unmistakable texture.

@sabergirl details please!!!

[sabergirl]

Scooped it up on eBay, @Fadez . I was looking at the pics and noticed the cuff detail and texture and took a chance. The hood is a double layer with the water resistant part on both faces! It’s crazy warm and heavy. Even though I always wear long sleeves in the air conditioning at work, it’s borderline too hot right now.

That's freaking cool!

@sabergirl yep, material sure looks the same as my wind sweater. Nice find!

@sabergirl has one, now I have one, too - an IHSW-45-BLK HOODIE.
I was also browsing eBay. Wondering where all the Japanese sellers on there get their stuff from, I ended up on one of these proxy websites, in this case buyee.jp. They provide access to Yahoo and Rakuten as well as a platform Mercari, that's where I found it.
The hoodie wasn't pictured very clearly, but the distinctive cuffs gave it away. Size XL, and it arrived just in time before we leave for Texel after Christmas.

@Alex or @Giles - can you please ask Haraki how many of these are around?

I stand very corrected. Sorry......

[sabergirl]

Hey, no worries @Giles! Isn’t this fabric next level, @tody ?

[tody]

@sabergirl It's pretty crazy. I was on the hunt for a black loopwheel hoodie, when this came across. For the technical garment it is, it is surprisingly soft and cozy. But the intermediate layer makes funny noises!
I think this is one of the pieces that you don't understand unless you have tried them on, and I'm happy I have.
