@Seeds agreed, having “Meh.” oh the back is gonna make it feels kind of awkward opposed to if it was on the front, wither small in the corner, or just through the zipper
I’m a big guy; most clothes aren’t sized to fit me (for the dumbass smartasses, a size that fits me isn’t available). And not to pick at you petite people, but I’d argue that it’s much worse when things are too small than too large; no one wants my belly exposed, no one (don’t you fucking start with me). “Oversized” is more of a legit fashion thing than whatever the fuck this “too small” shit is. And at a certain point, too small is simply altogether untenable; too big might be awkward, but at least you can get in it.
Anyway, as excited as I was to see this come up, I was pre-emptively disappointed, mostly nervous and greatly conflicted. We’re into hoodies around here. I asked the wife if she wanted one, because hoodies are truly her thing, and she looks damn fine in them. She didn’t. I didn’t even bother mentioning that I might give it a shot, because I mostly felt like it would be unwise of me even to try. I have been wanting a hoodie that fits, but I didn’t actually expect that even y’all’s largest size (a 3XL) would work. But I couldn’t help myself.
The fucker showed up today . . .
And it fights like a champ.
I wouldn’t hate if it were a little larger and I’m still nervous about shrinkage (but I’m only gonna wash when I absolutely need to and most of my clothing is hung, not tumble dried), but I think this might just work.
Nicely done, meh. Thanks!
Thanks also for upping your max T to 4XL (again, I wouldn’t hate larger, especially if you were able to wrangle a 4XLT). Pretty much now I wear my Mediocritees and neglect the older shit, which, yeah, does kinda make me sad, but that I feel comfortable in my new shirts makes me very happy.
Also, for folks in the same sitch, I highly recommend these guys. I’ve received two boxes so far. Both have been excellent, especially in terms of fit. And frankly, I much prefer receiving my properly-fitted clothing in the mail to the nightmare of trying to find reasonably priced clothing that fits in the damned stores–including the so-called “Big and Tall” stores.
@joelmw There used to be a men’s store in San Francisco called “The Short Shop” which carried all kinds of nonstandard sizes, including what they called “portly short” - I thought that was a charming description. The owner was actually a tallish guy, but his last name was “Short”!
@Star2236 It’s kind of got a polyestery, but soft and pleasant feel to it–yeah, probably like a sweatshirt. I more wear hoodies than sweatshirts so the frame of reference is skewed.

Anyone with the last non zip know if we should size up?
@bdp I bought the same size pullover hoodie as the shirts and it fits fine with a t-shirt underneath.
Over charged to be a walking billboard.
Ewwwwwwwww no thanks
I prefer a full zip rather than pullover but…meh.
@Stumpy91 I’m confused. This seems like a “full zip” to me. Or are you saying that even though you prefer a “full zip”, still meh.
If it was 10 bucks cheaper and had meh on the lapel instead of the back I’d be in

@joelmw
So I also order the zip up but it hasn’t showed up yet. I was just wondering about the material, is it sweatshirt like?
